Abstract:
A method is disclosed for bridging between a first data link carrying data units of a first data protocol and a second data link for carrying data units of a second protocol by means of a bridging device. This method may comprise receiving by means of a first entity data units of a first protocol, and storing those data units in the memory. Then, accessing by means of a protocol processing entity the protocol data of data units stored in the memory and thereby performing protocol processing for those data units under the first protocol. The method also accesses by means of a second interface entity the traffic data of data units stored in the memory and thereby transmits that traffic data over the second data link in data units of the second data protocol.

Claim (Index 31):
A method as claimed in  claim 28 , wherein:\n the memory buffer is at least one memory buffer; the first interface entity, the second interface entity and the protocol processing entity are each arranged to access a first memory buffer of the at least one memory buffer only when they have control of the first memory buffer; and the method comprises:\n the first interface entity storing a received data unit of the first protocol in a given memory buffer, of the at least one memory buffer, of which it has control and subsequently passing control of the given memory buffer to the protocol processing entity; \n the protocol processing entity passing control of a given memory buffer to the second interface entity when it has performed protocol processing of the or each data unit stored in the given memory buffer; and \n the second interface entity passing control of a given memory buffer to the first interface entity when it has transmitted the traffic data contained in the given memory buffer through the output in data units in accordance with the second data protocol.
