In a communication system, multiple nodes sequentially transmit a data frame along a communication direction and can read and write data from and to the data frame, and includes a specific node requiring data in the data frame transmitted by another network. In one network of two networks connected to a common bridge, a specific node is disposed within a half circumference of disposition positions of the multiple nodes on the upstream side in the communication direction with respect to the bridge, and in the other network, the specific node is disposed within a half circumference of the disposition positions of the multiple nodes on the downstream side in the communication direction with respect to the bridge.

A connected computer may be operated as node by inspecting communications from other nodes that pass through that node. From the communications, two or more pointers may be determined for the given node. These pointers may include a first pointer identified by a default designation that links the given node to a first node in the network, and a second pointer to another node. The second pointer may be identified by a determination that a designated criteria has been satisfied after the given node is placed on the network.

The present invention provides a data processing method and device. A data processing device receives a first data stream, where the first data stream includes a first data unit; obtains a boundary of the first data unit; obtains a first skew according to a first data amount and the boundary of the first data unit; and adjusts the first data stream according to the first skew, so that a difference between the boundary of the first data unit and a boundary of the first data amount is a length of an integral quantity of first data units, so that a relatively small amount of data is needed in such an adjustment, that is, one data stream is adjusted, and an adjusted data stream can meet a basic condition for multiplexing, which reduces operation complexity and costs and is beneficial to deploy and implement bit width conversion.
