    Abstract: A method for transmitting data through a multi-media communication network includes converting transmission entities into data symbols at a first communication device, transmitting the data symbols from the first communication device to a second communication device through at least two different types of communication media using only lower PHY layers of the at least two different types of communication media, and converting the data symbols into transmission entities at the second communication device. A network implementing a universal data link includes a first communication device configured to convert transmission entities into data symbols, a second communication device configured to convert the data symbols into transmission entities, at least a first communication medium and a second communication medium communicatively coupled between the first communication device and the second communication device, and a first physical-layer translator configured to translate data symbols without converting the data symbols into transmission entities.

    Abstract: A repeater device in a communication network includes a microcomputer configured to determine whether the repeater device will function as a mirroring switch that generates and transfers a minor frame, or as a minor-transfer switch that transfers the mirror frame. When the repeater device functions as a mirror switch and performs port mirroring, the repeater device adds monitor port and destination port information of the mirroring switch to the mirror frame. When the repeater device functions as a mirror-transfer switch, the repeater device adds sender port and destination port information of the mirror-transfer switch to the mirror frame. A monitor device in the communication network uses information in the minor frame to identify a minor source device in the network.
