Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system architecture for high-speed serial bus having compatibility with IEEE 1394 standard. SOLUTION: A transaction interface 210 adjusts a data bus sent from an IEEE 1394 bus. A kernel/scheduler/dispatcher 22- allocates memory resources and starts various tasks and services. The task and service change while depending on an application layer. The transaction interface 210 utilizes information derived from a received data packet to arrange the data packet in the suitable task queue. When any other message control block does not exist in a specified queue corresponding to the called task, the called task is immediately started. In the other case, a message control block stands by for being finally processed in the queue.

Abstract: A system architecture for a high speed serial bus compatible with the 1394 standard is disclosed. A transaction interface coordinates data packets received from or sent to a 1394 bus. A kernel/scheduler/dispatcher is used to allocate memory resources, and start a variety of tasks and services. The tasks and services vary depending on protocols used in a transport layer and application layer used in conjunction with the 1394 layers. The transaction interface uses information derived from the data packets received to form message control blocks, particular for each individual task, and places the control blocks into the proper task queue. The transaction interface forms a dispatcher message control block and places it into the scheduler/dispatcher queue to initiate the task. If there are no other message control blocks in the queue particular for the called task, the called task is immediately started. Otherwise, the message control block waits in the queue to eventually be operated on.

Abstract: A system and method for configuring and managing the connectivity of a broadband, cable modem network station to a network, including a state-driven network manager having a centralized error handling state and peripheral states for initialization, dynamic host configuration, configuration download, start simple-network-management, and an operational state. The operational state monitors for error and other messages communicated from other states and sends error messages to the centralized error-handling state and request messages to an operational support system interface management task. The error handling state receives error messages and requests error event logging from the operational support system interface management task. A change upstream-or-downstream channel task optimizes channel selection.
