1. Key Firewire principles
1.1 Presentation
Firewire is a standard defining a serial bus capable of interconnecting up to 63 different devices, called nodes, within a single network, at high data rates (25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1,600 and 3,200 Mbit/s, designated S25 to S3200 respectively, table 1 ). It is based on the ISO/IEC 13213 "register-based" architecture standard.
