    摘要: The process for determining the best communication route from a source end station to a destination end station is distributed over both source and destination network nodes. Network nodes, at the interface between a wide area network (WAN) and each subnetwork, contain access agents to control the communication flow between the wide area network and an end station in the subnetwork. The task of selecting the best route between two end stations is distributed between the access agents at the WAN interface in the first subnetwork, and the access agents at the WAN interface in the second subnetwork. Each access agent at one WAN interface obtains the best route from itself to the end station in its subnetwork. Each access agent at the other WAN interface finds the best route from each access agent at the first WAN interface through itself to the end station in its subnetwork. One designated access agent collects all the best route information. This best route information is concatenated, and the route with the least weight is selected as the best route between end stations.

    摘要: Access agents (AA1-AA5) in nodes at the LAN/WAN interface are formed into a group of access agents so that the access agents may be managed by the WAN as a group. The group must maintain group operation integrity in that if communications between agents in the group are broken, the access agents will coalesce into subgroups and continue performing communication jobs as a group activity. Each of the access agents contains a finite state machine to perform the tasks of group formation and maintenance. The formation of interconnected access agents into a group is accomplished by one access agent being identified as a group leader. All other access agents communicating with the group leader within the LAN may then join the group. The maintenance of group activity integrity is accomplished by detecting a break in group communication integrity and thereafter reforming the group into multiple smaller groups. The maintenance of group operation integrity also includes the merger of small groups into a large group when a bridge is added between LAN segments.

    摘要: A packet switched communication system employing ANR and/or multicast tree routing is improved by using a Copy ID field in the network header of the packet. The Copy ID field defines a control function and allows packet processing to be distributed among the several processors of each node. The selection of the processor (or processors) to receive the packet may be accomplished by making use of the routing field of the network header to qualify the control function specified in the Copy ID field. The control message is processed as defined for the control function by the processor receiving the packet. In multicast tree routing the control function is performed at all nodes in the multicast tree. In ANR routing, a prefacing "selective copy" bit is included in each label in the routing field of the network header; each node employed in the packet transmission path uses one label. The selective copy bit in each label triggers or not (according to its setting) the copy function in that node. The network control function specified in the Copy ID field may be performed in a given node when the copy function is triggered for that node.
