Abstract

An I/O network channel achieves relatively high rates of data communication between a plurality of widely physically dispersed devices interconnected by a LAN-type media. A processor connected to each node of the media controls the data and functions of a receiver and transmitter at each node to establish network level, transport level and session level data communication and control functions.
