Abstract

The invention concerns a communication device including several external data sources, at least a local area network connecting peripherals, means enabling to establish connections between the local area network and the external data sources, means for controlling the incoming data from the external sources and for sending them to the local area network in order to reduce the bandwidth occupation on the local area network. The device also includes means for updating signalization tables included in the incoming data and means for inserting the modified signalization tables in the transport stream sent to the local area network. It is applicable to IEEE 1394 networks.
