ABSTRACT:
A repeater which introduces a minimum of delay in the transfer of a data packet from a source LAN to a destination LAN has an arbiter which grants access to a bus for a port to broadcast a received data packet onto the bus for loading the data packet into a transmit buffer for each outgoing port. The arbiter grants access only after all ports signal that their transmit buffers are ready to load the data packet from the bus. A transmit buffer signals that it is ready to be loaded at the passage of the collision window as it is transmitting a packet previously loaded into the transmit buffer. Accordingly, the transmit buffer is simultaneously transmitting the previously loaded packet and loading the new packet after the arbiter responds to the signal.
