ABSTRACT:
A multimedia communications and computer platform that can serve as a network interface card combined with an internal distribution network for a full range of user terminal devices. It includes an interconnection network module that serves to route all incoming and outgoing information by way of high speed buses with value added features for communication protocol acceleration. In particular, attached to the different ports of the network are an ATM module, a communications processor, a media processor and a variety of terminal devices. By migrating processing intensive functions of network protocol termination, media stream distribution and media stream adaptation into the network interface card, there are avoided the bottlenecks of the traditional CPU centric approach to ATM systems.
