Embodiment Construction
[0062]FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a local area network 20, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Network 20 comprises a plurality of bridging-devices 22 which are used to connect a plurality of end-stations 24 (marked in FIG. 1 as 24A, 24B, 24C and 24D) to each other and / or to external networks, through one or more backbone bridging-devices and / or routers, such as a pair of backbone bridging-devices which are also routers, referred to as backbone routers 28 in FIG. 1. One or more of end stations 24 comprise only a single port 26 which is suitable for connecting to any of bridging-devices 22. Preferably, the ports 26 of end-stations 24 are connected through respective Ethernet repeaters 30 to a plurality of ports 32 on different bridging-devices 22. Thus, redundancy is achieved in connecting end-stations 24 to bridging-devices 22, even though each end-station 24 has only a single port 26. It is noted that one or more of repeaters 30 may be repl...
