摘要： A data communication system is configured to communicatively link a host device and a client device with a point-to-point data communication link, where the point-to-point data communication link is configured with multipoint network data communication components designed for data communication over a distributed network. A data communication interface at the host device is communicatively linked with a data communication interface driver via the point-to-point data communication link between the host device and the client device. The data communication interface driver communicates with a virtual driver component for the client device via a virtual network at the client device.

摘要： Methods and apparatuses are provided that allow kernel mode data traffic and user mode data traffic to share a common network communication port. One apparatus includes user mode logic, kernel mode logic, and kernel mode to user mode interface logic. The interface logic is configured to receive data packets and selectively distribute the data packet to either the user mode or kernel mode logic. The interface logic includes “virtual” bridge logic and “virtual” miniport logic. The bridge logic determines if a received data packet is a user mode or kernel mode data packet. If it is a kernel mode data packet, then the bridge logic provides the data packet to the kernel mode logic. If it is a user mode data packet, then the bridge logic stores the data packet in memory for subsequent use by the user mode logic. The bridge logic also receives outgoing kernel mode data packets from the kernel mode logic and provides them to a network communication port, and retrieves outgoing user mode data packets from memory and provides them to the same network communication port. The miniport logic provides an interface between the memory accessed by the bridge logic and user mode logic. The miniport logic accepts outgoing user mode data packets and stores them in the memory for subsequent access by the bridge logic, and retrieves incoming user mode data packets stored in memory by the bridge logic.

摘要： Automatic compilation of address filter information permits a cable modem to route incoming data packets to destination devices. A cable modem uses address filter information, such as for example, a list of addresses of communication devices that have previously registered with the cable modem, to identify incoming data packets that are addressed to communication devices associated with the cable modem. Incoming data packets with addresses that are not in the address filter information are filtered out. However, the cable modem may have insufficient filter information, when, for instance, a new communication device is associated with the cable modem. In order to automatically register communication devices associated with the cable modem, the cable modem inspects the source addresses of outgoing data packets. If the source address is not included in the address filter information, the source address is added.

摘要： Automatic compilation of address filter information that permits a cable modem to appropriately route incoming data packets to destination devices is described. Cable modems use address filter information to identify incoming data packets that are addressed to communication devices associated with the cable modem. The address filter information might be, for example, a list of addresses of communication devices that have previously registered with the cable modem. On occasion, the cable modem may have incorrect or insufficient or incomplete filter information when, for instance, a new communication device is added to a group of networked communication devices associated with the cable modem. In order to automatically recognize associated communication devices that are to be registered with the cable modem, a cable modem driver inspects the source address of outgoing data packets. If the source address is not included in the address filter information, the source address is added to the address filtering information. Subsequently, if an incoming data packet addresses the associated communication device, the cable modem driver allows the data packet to be passed through to the communication device.

摘要： Provided is a system and method for integrating a cable modem with a host customer premises equipment, such as a computer or set top box. An interface is provided which receives data packets from the cable modem of any manufacturer and transmits the data packet to a media access control layer. The media access control layer determines the destination of the data packet and forwards it to that destination, which may be the cable modem or may be the host computer of the cable modem or any other customer premises equipment networked with the host computer. The interface also receives data packets from the media access control layer and transmits the data packets to the cable modem for transmission upstream. The interface abstracts the control of the cable modem to the media access control layer. The system maintains a protocol stack for the cable modem that is separate from the protocol stack associated with the operating system of the host computer. The cable modem and the host computer are separately addressable by the cable network. Furthermore, the cable modem shares the processor and resources of the host computer.
