Abstract

A network bridge (10) is provided for interfacing between a first network, such as a Gigabit Ethernet (11), having a first protocol and a second network, such as a CLAN (1-9) having a second different protocol. The network bridge (10) has a buffer (29) which receives payload data from Ethernet packets and a buffer (30) which supplies CLAN headers corresponding to the final destination address in memory to which an application for processing the payload data of the packet requires delivery. The CLAN packets are assembled at (31) so that the payload data are delivered to the final memory destination address without the need for a protocol stack in a computer of the CLAN cluster 5.
