ABSTRACT:
The node adapter of this invention filters an incoming broadcast data packet transmitted over an information network to determine whether it is in a framing format and a protocol type which is readable by a computer or other device associated with the node adapter. By performing this process in hardware, the node adapter eliminates the need to interrupt the software running on the computer or other device, which conventionally performs the filtering operation.
