A frame strip method for a bridge circuit for transparently forwarding data between a plurality of LANs (Local Area Network) without frame infinite circulation. The numbers of transmission/receive frames are counted. In counting the number, the validity/invalidity of a transmission frame is judged in accordance with the kind of the transmission frame. The validity/invalidity and strip/receive of a receive frame are judged in accordance with the kind of the receive frame. In accordance with the numbers of valid transmission/receive frames, a receive frame is stripped from the transmission line if the condition of (transmission frame number)>(receive frame number) is met.

The present invention relates to an address filter method and unit to be used in a bridge unit or the like for connecting networks. The address filter unit carries out an address filter processing between a plurality of networks by using address information extracted from an incoming information frame registered in an entry table. In order to improve the processing efficiency of the address filter processing, the address filter unit includes timers corresponding to each address information registration, timer updating means for sequentially and intermittently advancing each timer value, and means for deleting registration of the address information corresponding to the timers from the entry table when a timer value becomes equal to or above a predetermined value. Further, the address filtering method includes a first step for sequentially generating, as an address of the entry table, a function (fi(a), i=1 to n) of a source address extracted from an incoming information frame at the time of a registration in the entry table or a destination address (a) extracted from an incoming information frame at the time of a retrieval from the entry table, a second step for deciding whether or not address information can be registered in an address generated in the first step in the entry table, at the time of registration, and a third step for deciding whether or not address information registered in an address generated in the first step in the entry table is desired address information, at the time of retrieval.

The object of the present invention is to provide a communication network system that reduces the burden of entering settings for the network system. A service directory server in the communication network system provides unified management of the service information of the service-providing server installed in the network. The service information managed by the service directory server is distributed to the communication nodes either automatically or in response to requests from a communication node. The communication nodes receive packets and, for received packets that are addressed to itself, a service-providing server destination is determined based on the service information provided by the service directory server and the packet is transferred to the server to receive the service.

A network interface apparatus connected between a LAN adaptor possessed by a computer and a transceiver provided on a network includes a buffer memory for storing data, a first control circuit for communicating with the LAN adaptor, a second control circuit for communicating with the transceiver, and a processor for controlling the first and second control circuits to control the transfer of data between the LAN adaptor and the transceiver. The processor causes the buffer memory to store transmit data transmitted from the LAN adaptor and transmits the stored transmit data in the buffer memory to the transceiver in a transmission time zone which is allotted beforehand. The transmission time zone is determined by the processor on the basis of the reception of a synchronizing packet which is transferred on the network. Receive data received from the transceiver is selected by the processor so that only the selected receive data is sent to the LAN adaptor. A reference for the selection may include a protocol type, a port number on TCP/IP or the like.

A distributed memory computer system periodically performs memory copy among a plurality of computers by using general-purpose communication control devices and a transmission line of the CSMA/CD type. A master computer periodically generates a synchronizing packet, and transmits data for memory copy and normal data in a time slot immediately after the transmission of the synchronizing packet. Each computer other than the master computer transmits the data for memory copy and the normal data in its own time slot after the elapse of a predetermined time. The respective computers complete their transmissions within predetermined times. Since the time slots are assigned to the respective computers, the number of computers which may compete with each other on a transmission line can be restricted and each computer can be assured a periodic opportunity to transmit data.
