Abstract
A network architecture uses an IEEE 1394-compliant network medium to connect computers using network-based software, such as Windows NDIS, Novell IPX, or TCP/IP. Each network includes a high-speed local area network driver that translates function calls from network/layer routines received across in application programming interface to a command set compliant with IEEE 1394. Hence, the computer network can be established using an IEEE 1394-compliant medium, providing a high-speed network have data rates above 200 MB/s.
