According to the invention, a device for transferring data between two
workstations connected to a network is provided. This device comprises
means for distributing data among a plurality of links of the network.
Preferentially, the device comprises a dual-port memory for storing the
data. In a preferred embodiment, the device further comprises a high
speed interface for transmitting data from a workstation to the memory,
associated with each link, a low speed interface for transmitting a part
of the data from the memory to this link, and a controller for monitoring
the data flow between the workstation and the plurality of links, by
