ABSTRACT:
A data processing element comprises at least one processor, a main memory, and a network coupler for coupling the processing element to a network. The network coupler includes a packing circuit for assembling the data frames into intermediate units of data, referred to as parcels, and a network coupler processor for assembling the parcels into datagrams in the main memory. Thus, the packing circuit relieves the network coupler processor of a substantial amount of low-level processing work.
