Abstract
A point-to-point or ring connectable bus bridge replicates a PCI bus serially over a point-to-point or ring connected network and the Fiber Channel interface enhanced by a method for improving link performance provides the serial connection. Participants can appear as resources or masters on the PCI bus and connections can be made to existing bus controllers and existing bus peripherals without redesign.
