摘要:
A packet forwarding apparatus provided with a plurality of line interface units, comprises a routing processing unit for referring to a routing table, based on header information of received packet to specify one of output lines to output the received packet, a flow detection unit for referring to an entry table, in which a plurality of entries with flow conditions and control information are registered, to retrieve control information defined by the entry with a flow condition which coincides with that of the header information of the received packet, and a packet forwarding unit for transferring the received packet to one of the line interface units connected to the output line specified by the routing processing unit. The entry table id divided into a plurality of subtables corresponding to the values of flow attributes associated with the received packets and the flow detection unit retrieves the control information from one of said subtables specified by the value of the flow attribute corresponding to the received packet.

A network system comprises first to third routers coupled in series. The first router transmits a first packet indicating a first priority or a second packet indicating a second priority higher than the first priority. The second router receives the first packet, determines whether or not the first priority of the first packet is to be changed or not on the basis of both a first bandwidth which is assigned for receiving, from the first router, a second packet which is indicating the second priority and a second bandwidth which is assigned for communicating a packet including the first packet and the second packet, changes the priority of the first packet if it is decided that its priority is to be changed, and transmits to the third router the packet of which the priority has been changed to the second priority from the first priority. The third router receives the packet transmitted from the second router.

The invention relates to a packet forwarding apparatus provided with a plurality of line interface units (122) each connected to an input line (123) and an output line (123), comprising: a routing processing unit (111) for referring to a routing table, based on header information of each of packets received from the input lines by said line interface units (122), and specifying one of said output lines (123) from which the packet should be output; a common table for storing said plurality of entries therein; a list table (760; 860; 1060; 3560) for storing therein pointer addresses for accessing the entries lying within said common table, said list table being divided into a plurality of sub-list tables corresponding to the values of the specific flow attribute; a flow detection unit (112; 812; 1012; 3612) for retrieving, by referring to the common table, packet transfer control information defined by one of said entries of which the flow condition is satisfied with parameter values extracted from the header information of the received packet; and a packet forwarding unit for transferring said received packet to one of said line interface units connected to the output line specified by said routing processing unit; wherein said flow detection unit (112; 812; 1012; 3612) refers to one of said sub-list tables specified by the value of the specific flow attribute associated with each of said received packets to retrieve the entry having a flow condition satisfied with the header information of said received packet, based on pointer addresses stored in the specified sub-list table; and said packet forwarding unit controls the transfer of each of said received packets to one of said line interface units (123) in accordance with the packet transfer control information notified from said flow detection unit (112; 812; 1012; 3612).

The present invention relates to a router for transmitting a packet and a corresponding network system, wherein said router has plural modes to be applied to input packets. The plural modes include a first mode which is a mode that decides priority of the packet by at least one of the address information and the application information, and a third mode which is a mode that decides to rewrite the DS value by at least one of the address information and the application information. A control unit (112) of the router switches a mode to be applied to an input packet among the plural modes based on the packet header information of the input packet.

A bandwidth monitoring device for use in a network for transferring priority packets in preference to non priority packets as far as the amount of the priority packets is within a contract bandwidth established between a network user and a network operator, comprising a bandwidth check result decision unit (520, 1320) for detecting whether the bandwidth of the priority packets is less than the contract bandwidth, and a DSCP decision unit (530) for determining that a non priority packet may be transferred as a priority packet when the bandwidth of the priority packets is less than the contract bandwidth thereby to sufficiently use the contract bandwidth.
