DEVICE FOR PROTECTION OF CONNECTED COMPUTER NETWORKS Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: computer engineering, in particular, inter- network connection. SUBSTANCE: each motherboard provides converting first communication protocol to second communication protocol and removes address information about source and destination of messages, which are transmitted to another motherboard. In addition, intermediate software units of application program interface or dynamic library software units provide control of communication messages, which are transmitted between two motherboards in order to pass codes required for requesting and receiving service from another computer network. Respective device comprises a pair of computer motherboards, each of which has network interface adapter for receiving and transmitting communication messages from computer network to transmission adapter, so that communication messages are transmitted to another computer network through transmission adapter and network interface adapter, which are located on second computer motherboard. EFFECT: increased functional capabilities due to protocol converting. 11 cl, 1 dwg
