ABSTRACT:
A station is provided which is connected to a network segment via a shared transmission medium. The station includes one or more protocol stacks for processing each type of data packet which the station may transmit to or receive from the shared transmission medium. A queue is associated with each protocol for storing corresponding data packets. The station is also provided with a media access controller, which is unable to differentiate among the different types of data packets. The media access controller is provided for enabling data packets of the different types stored in the queues to access the transmission medium with arbitrary priority. A throttler is also provided for controlling the submission of data packets from the queues to the media access controller, depending on the type of the data packets, to provide an appropriate amount of bandwidth in, and to limit the access delay of, a particular type of data packets in the shared transmission medium.
