Abstract:
A network coordinator device comprises a processor, a memory, a first port to operatively couple the processor to first network that uses media access control (MAC) addresses of a first size, and a second port to operatively couple the processor to second network that uses MAC addresses of a second size. The processor is configured to perform a network bridging protocol to bridge data frames communicated between the first network and the second network, including to translate communications between a device of the first network having the first size MAC address and a device of the second network having the second size MAC address, and adapt a frame format of the first network protocol to a frame format of the second network protocol. The adapting the frame formatting includes fragmenting data frames of the first network protocol when needed using a fragmentation format of the second network protocol.

Claim (Index 12):
A computer implemented method of providing a communication bridge between a first network that communicates according to a first network protocol and a second network that communicates according to a second network protocol, the method comprising:\n adapting communications between a device of the first network having a first size media access control (MAC) address and a device of the second network having a second size MAC address; and adapting a frame format of the first network protocol to a frame format of the second network protocol, including fragmenting data frames of the first network protocol when needed using a fragmentation format of the second network protocol.
