Abstract
Designed to circumvent the incompatibilities between
communicating computer systems, a parameterized protocol
convertor permits the use of communication equipment
supporting variations of the same communication protocol or
completely different framing technique protocols. The
analysis of the conversion process includes the engineering
trade-offs between speed of conversion and flexibility, and
the use of an alternative flow architecture. Flexibility
is enhanced through user selection of input and output
protocol types, and the designation of functional
specifics, such as code type, header length, and error
detection methods, with variable parameters. The speed of
conversion is increased through the parallel processing of
the framing, transparency, and error control sub-functions
and the use of a single byte storage technique. The single
byte storage technique imposes some limitations in the use
of transparent data.
