Abstract
An interconnection circuitry for two local area contention networks which is adapted to jam the respective networks when stations on both sides of the interconnection circuitry attempt transmission. If stations on opposite sides of the interconnect circuitry begin transmitting at the same time, the interconnect circuitry operates to place a high signal on the channel of each network and all stations will detect that the data is garbled and discard it.
