Dual LAN Topology with the Dual Path Ethernet Module

A Dual-Path Ethernet Module(DPEM) is developed to improve Local Area Network (LAN)`s performance, High Availability(H/A) and security. Since a DPEM simply locates at the front end of any network device as a transparent add-on, it does not require sophisticated server reconfiguration. Our evaluation results show that the developed scheme is more efficient than conventional LAN structures in various aspects.
