Abstract

An apparatus for translating a message between a first transmission protocol to a second transmission protocol limits buffer sizes for storing incoming and outcoming message data. To that end, each message has a message size that is no larger than a maximum message size, and the first protocol transports message data with message envelopes having an envelope size that is no larger than a maximum envelope size. The apparatus further includes a first protocol interface for interfacing with first protocol devices that communicate via the first protocol, a second protocol interface for interfacing with second protocol devices that communicate via the second protocol, and control logic that couples the first protocol interface with the second protocol interface.
