Introduction
Problem and Literature Survey :
In the today's networking world, the number of network
configurations and layouts are unlimited. Yet, understanding the monitoring
principles and concepts provides the user with the ability to find a solution
that can ensure traffic visibility in virtually any situation.
Naturally, the network visibility is not the final purpose. Rather, it's a
base required for the correct usage of network monitoring and analysis
software.
As a technical student, its our duty to view the trends of the current
technologies and try to work with it. So when the idea of final project had
come to my mind , I tried to correlate my project with needs of our system.

Existing system
In the existing driver, one buffer is used to

achieve the data transmission .

since four transmit registers are there in the
controller, we are exploiting all the four
registers in the developing the device driver.

Proposed system
The rtl8139 has got a set of configuration

registers. using this configuration registers,we

can configure device.
Since this controller has got four transmit
register and one reception register,all the four
transmit registers are to be used.
So the transmission becomes faster in the
source machine.
