Abstract
A network interface module for coupling a host device to a switched network as a network node is described. The network interface module comprises a single half-duplex port for communicatively coupling to a shared bus of the switched network, at least one frame queue sized to store one multicast read frame received via the shared bus, and logic circuitry. The logic circuitry is configured to decode a read command for the interface module included in a payload of the multicast read frame that includes multiple read commands for other network nodes of the switched network, and transmit a response frame including read data on the shared bus when detecting the shared bus is available for transmitting.
