ABSTRACT:
A network device for transmitting data of a host system to a network including a buffer for storing the data, a first transmission interface providing a control signal to the host system, and a second transmission interface coupled to the buffer for transmitting the data from the buffer to the network. A data transmission method of the network device includes the following steps: providing a network device and a host system, wherein the network device is providing a control signal to the host system, and the network device immediately activates a frame transmission procedure after providing the control signal; the host system starting to transmit data to the network device after the host system receives the control signal; and the network device transmitting the data to the network after a frame transmission pre-procedure is finished and when the data of the host system are completely transmitted to the network device.
