Abstract: A network (10) includes several local networks (32, 34, 36). Each local network (32, 34, 36) includes a repeater (12, 16, 20) coupled to data devices (14, 18, 22). The combination of the repeater (12, 16, 20) and the data devices (14, 18, 22) form a collision domain for managing communications within the local network (32, 34, 36). Uplink modules (40, 44) manage communications between the local networks (32, 34, 36) by isolating collision domains and generating collision indications when messages cannot be transmitted. The uplink modules (40, 44) may also implement bridging, routing, or filtering capabilities that inhibit transmission of an intra-network message beyond its local network (32, 34, 36).

Abstract translation: 网络（10）包括多个本地网络（32,34,36）。 每个本地网络（32,34,36）包括耦合到数据设备（14,18,22）的中继器（12,16,20）。 中继器（12,16,20）和数据设备（14,18,22）的组合形成用于管理本地网络（32,34,36）内的通信的冲突域。 上行链路模块（40,44）通过隔离冲突域来管理本地网络（32,34,36）之间的通信，并且当消息不能被发送时产生冲突指示。 上行链路模块（40,44）还可以实现阻止网络内消息超出其本地网络（32,34,36）的传输的桥接，路由或过滤能力。
