ABSTRACT:
A communications system interconnects local Area Networks (LAN's) across broadcast simplex channels. The LAN's are connected independently and transparently of protocols above the data link layer so that the system appears to the user at a station in one Local Area Network as one large single network. A bridge interconnects the LAN's across simplex channels. The bridge is constructed to permit more than two local area networks to be interconnected across simplex channels to the bridge and to provide communication between stations.
