ABSTRACT:
A single chip network adapter apparatus has each component disposed on a single semiconductor chip. The network adapter includes a host interface circuit which is adapted for connection directly to a host system bus. The host interface circuit sends information to and receives information form the host system bus, and has random access memory coupled thereto. A processor is coupled to the random access memory and formats information received from the host system bus to a network protocol format. The processor also converts information received in a network protocol format to a form suitable for the host system bus. A network interface circuit is coupled to the random access memory and is adapted for connection directly to a network. The network interface circuit sends information formatted by the processor to the network and receives information to be converted by the processor from the network.
