    摘要: A method and apparatus for efficiently transferring a data packet on a network. The efficient transfer of data includes compressing the data as the data packet is transmitted from a repeater to a management unit by determining if a destination address of a received packet matches a stored management unit address. When the stored address does not match the destination address, the data packet is compressed. The apparatus includes a repeater, a management unit, and a packet compression mechanism. The apparatus further includes comparator circuit means for determining address comparisons and count comparisons to control data compression.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for securing a network from access by unauthorized end stations. A port in a multiport repeater can be disabled automatically upon detection of an unknown source address in a data packet. In addition, an interrupt signal is provided to the indicate the detection of an intruder. Further, the disabling of the port can be done substantially immediately to interrupt the re-transmission of a single packet. Alternatively, the disabling of a port can be done programmably after a predetermined number of intruder packets have been detected, or after the verification of packet integrity.

    摘要: A method for providing a secure local area network includes the steps of receiving a data packet having a destination address and comparing the destination address to stored end station addresses. The data packet is disrupted on the repeater for the ports except the port with an associated stored end station address matching the destination address. Also, the disrupting of the data packet can be enabled on an individual port basis. A system includes a controller, a memory/comparator, and an inverse disrupt control mechanism. The inverse disrupt control mechanism produces a disrupt signal to disrupt the data packet on non-matching ports of the repeater when a match occurs within the repeater. The data packet is not disrupted on a port linking two repeaters when there is no match within the repeater. The inverse disrupt control can also be enabled or disabled on an individual port basis.

    摘要: A differential receiver incorporated into a MAU which receives both Manchester packets and linkpulses according to the IEEE 802.3 10Base-T standard has polarity detection and correction circuit for automatically detecting a reversed polarity for RD input lines. The differential receiver samples incoming pulses for time, amplitude and pulse width qualification and makes a preliminary polarity determination based upon polarity of such qualified pulses. This preliminary polarity allows a linktest state machine to transition to a link.sub.-- pass state, enabling output drivers of the MAU. Additionally, the linkpulse polarity information initially makes a polarity determination for the entire differential receiver which asserts a FIX POLARITY signal. The FIX POLARITY signal controls a correction circuit which internally remedies reversed input lines. Preferably, the correction circuit internally reroutes the signals. An ETD polarity circuit makes polarity determinations from any ETD information received, as effected by the correction circuit. The ETD polarity circuit independently controls the linkpulse polarity determinations and conflicting determinations are resolved in favor of the ETD polarity circuit. Upon detecting two consecutive, consistent valid ETDs, the ETD polarity circuit locks-in the polarity determinations until a reset or a linkfail condition. The correction circuit effects both Manchester packets and linkpulses, so an incorrectly locked polarity will produce inverted linkpulses which will not allow the MAU to remain in the link.sub.-- pass state. In the linkfail state, the MAU may reestablish the correct polarity.
