Abstract: A method includes receiving downlink packets from multiple physical Ethernet interfaces and selectively discarding some of the downlink packets based on a packet filtering criterion. The method also includes updating a network connectivity database using address information in non-discarded downlink packets. The method further includes mapping a path for each of the non-discarded downlink packets using the database and transmitting the non-discarded downlink packets to a single network interface. The method could also include receiving an uplink packet from the single network interface, selecting a primary physical Ethernet interface from the multiple physical Ethernet interfaces based on information in the database, and transmitting the uplink packet through the selected primary physical Ethernet interface.

Abstract: A system includes redundant first process controllers configured to communicate over redundant supervisory networks in an industrial process control and automation system. Each first process controller is configured to operate in primary or secondary mode. The system also includes redundant second process controllers configured to communicate over redundant industrial control networks in the industrial process control and automation system. Each second process controller is configured to operate in primary or secondary mode. The system further includes a private network configured to communicatively couple the first and second process controllers. Each controller could be associated with at least three Media Access Control (MAC) addresses.
