THE CUBIC CROSS MULTIPLE VIRTUAL LINK
Liu E · Chinese Journal of Computers · 1979
The purpose of this article is to provide a flow control method for a computer network. The concepts of the virtual channel, virtual link and chain mechanism describe the flow control of a common data communication network; but those concepts of the multiple virtual link, cubic cross multiple virtual link, multiple chain mechanism, Bridging-on and Bridging-off describe the flow control of a computer network.Bridging-on and Bridging-off are two essential concepts. They provide simple and flexible tools of unified command and centralized management for communication among user processes, and help to simplify the implementation of higher layer computer network protocols.
