Abstract

A gateway module for connection of at least two sub-networks is described. A first sub-network of the at least two sub-networks supports a data transmission in accordance with a first communications protocol, especially CAN, FlexRay, LIN, MOST or Ethernet, and a second sub-network of the at least two sub-networks supports a data transmission in accordance with a second communications protocol, especially CAN, FlexRay, LIN, MOST or Ethernet. The gateway module has a configurable hardware circuit which is adapted to manipulate and forward data from the first sub-network and to the second sub-network taking into consideration the first communications protocol and the second communications protocol.
