ABSTRACT:
A network (10) includes an adaptive repeater (12) that can service data devices at different data rates. Data devices (18, 20, 22) couple to ports (34) of the adaptive repeater (12), and operate at a first rate in a first domain (14). Data devices (26, 28, 30) also couple to ports (34) of adaptive repeater (12) and operate at a second rate in a second domain (16). Repeaters (24, 32) and bridges (40, 42) may also couple to the adaptive repeater (12).
