ABSTRACT:
Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment, a bridge circuit is provided that includes a plurality of signal ports. At least one of the plurality of signal ports may be capable of being coupled to a long haul interface. At least one of the plurality of signal ports may be capable of being coupled to a host interface. At least one of the plurality of signal ports may be capable of being coupled to a short haul interface. The bridge circuit may provide a bridge between the host interface and one of the short haul interface and the long haul interface. Of course, many modifications, variations, and alternatives are possible without departing from this embodiment.
