1. A transmission scheme of a bridge connector for transmitting frames between a high-speed network and a low-speed network, comprising the steps of:

  • converting each of incoming frames of a high speed network frame type into a low speed network frame type;

    looking up a host table to determine if a destination of each of said incoming frames is recorded in a host table;

    arranging a first priority queue by queuing each destination of said incoming frames found in said host table, and updating a frame length and a time of said destination of each of said incoming frames in said host table when said destination of each of said incoming frames is found in said host table;

    arranging a second priority queue by queuing each destination of said incoming frames not found in said host table, and adding each destination of said incoming frames into said host table when each of said destination of said incoming frames is not found in said host table;

    dynamically readjusting each of said destinations in said first priority queue and said second priority queue in response to a current transmission status of said low speed network; and

    transmitting each of said incoming frames according to a priority sequence determined by said priority queue and said second priority queue.
