ABSTRACT:
A system, apparatus and method for transmitting data on a private network in blocks of data without using TCP/IP as a protocol are provided. When data is to be transmitted on a private network, the data is divided into a plurality of packets and a MAC header is added to each packet. The header contains hardware addresses of the transmitting and receiving hosts as well as parameters of the data being transmitted. The hardware addresses are used to route the packets through the private network therefore obviating the use of TCP/IP to perform the same task. The data is ordinarily stored in contiguous sectors of a storage device; thus, ensuring that almost every packet will either contain data from a block of sectors or is a receipt acknowledgement of such packet.
