Point-to-point data communication implemented with multipoint network data communication components
First Claim
1. A data communication system configured to communicatively link a host device and a remote client device with a point to-point data communication link, the host device and the remote client device each configured for multipoint data communication over a distributed network, the data communication system comprising:
- a Remote Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) driver of the host device implemented in the remote client device, the Remote NDIS driver configured to communicatively link with a data Remote NDIS communication interface of the host device via the point-to-point data communication link;
a virtual driver component configured to communicate with the Remote NDIS driver and the remote client device; and
a virtual network configured to communicatively link the Remote NDIS driver and the virtual driver component in the remote client device.

Abstract
A data communication system is configured to communicatively link a host device and a client device with a point-to-point data communication link, where the point-to-point data communication link is configured with multipoint network data communication components designed for data communication over a distributed network. A data communication interface at the host device is communicatively linked with a data communication interface driver via the point-to-point data communication link between the host device and the client device. The data communication interface driver communicates with a virtual driver component for the client device via a virtual network at the client device.
