Abstract:
The invention relates to a method, bridging device (10), network of devices as well as a computer program product and computer program element for prioritizing transportation of isochronous data streams from a first bus (16) having a first bandwidth to a second bus (18) using a medium (13) having a second medium bandwidth lower than the first bandwidth. The bridging device monitors control traffic relating to data streams originating from devices (20, 22) connected to the buses, polls the registers made available by the devices connected to the buses, prioritizes streams for transfer based on relevant information transported in the bus control traffic and/or made available by the devices connected to a bus and transfers streams over the medium based on the prioritizing. The invention enables prioritizing streams for transportation over a wireless bridge between two data buses that is transparent to devices connected to the buses.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method, a server device (22) and a system of computing devices for enabling starting of sessions from a first (12) to a second network (16) as well as to a computer program product and computer program element performing the method. A home server (22) comprises a store listing devices or services accessible from the first network and a control unit, which provides the list of devices or services within the second network to a first device (14) upon reception of a request, requests binding of a free port number in an address translation table of an interface device (10) to the local address of a second device (18, 20), and provides to the first device at least the port number bound to the second device, such that a session can be started from the first network.
