ABSTRACT:
One or more multiport systems are used to facilitate servicing of asynchronous communications events. A multiport system, such as an open collector multiport system, receives from one of a plurality of source components an asynchronous communications event directed to a target component coupled to the plurality of source components. The multiport system is controlled to provide, at any given time, a communications path between a plurality of ports of the multiport system to service the asynchronous communications event. One or more multiport systems are used to forward the event from the source to the target.
