ABSTRACT:
Control of communication by a plurality of devices, such as computer programs and terminals, via a computer is controlled by an arrangement referred to as a connector. The connector receives a request for communication defining the devices to the communication and, in response to the request, establishes a mapping table defining the source devices and destination devices to the connection. A source device stores data in connector memory and the connector reads the mapping table to determine the destination devices for the stored data. The connector then creates a linked list coupling structure between the stored data and the determined destination devices. The destination devices issue read commands to which the connector responds by reading the stored data in accordance with the coupling structure and providing that data to the requesting device.
