Abstract
A method for node recognition in data transmission between a switching hub and a plurality of network interface cards (NICs) is disclosed, including the steps of transmitting an information-demanding signal demanding information of each of the NICs; transmitting information of each of the NIC and information of whether or not there is a node recognition demand according to the information-demanding signal; and forming an information table by use of the transmitted information, and outputting a data into the NIC which has sent a signal of whether or not there is a node recognition demand.
Claims8
A method for node recognition between a switching hub and a plurality of workstations comprising network interface cards (NICs), the method comprising:
- transmitting a first signal to each NIC, demanding information therefrom;
- transmitting to the switching hub, information of each NIC and a second signal indicating whether or not each NIC wants to receive data;
- forming an information table for each NIC using newly acquired NIC information;
- and
- transmitting data to only those NIC(s) which want to receive data based on the formed information table.
A method of network node recognition in a network having a switching hub and a plurality of stations, each station being a node of said network, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a switching hub, a packet having an information requesting signal;
- sending, from a station to the switching hub, station information in response to the information requesting signal, the station information including an indication whether the station should receive data;
- and
- receiving data from the switching hub if the station should receive data.
