摘要： A router device for controlling label switching path set up is disclosed. In the router device, a,policy information indicating a permitted starting point of a label switching path is stored, and a request message that contains a starting point information indicating a starting point node/network of the requested label switching path and a stream information indicating a desired packet stream to be transferred through the requested label switching path is received. Then, whether or not to permit the set up of the requested label switching path is judged by comparing the starting point information contained in the request message with the stored policy information, and the requested label switching path through the router device for the desired packet stream indicated by the stream information contained in the request message is set up when the set up of the requested label switching path is judged as permitted. Instead of the starting point information, a neighbor information, a stream information, or an ending point information may be used.

摘要： A system for forming one point-to-multipoint connection provides various service attributes in an ATM network in response to differences in service attributes requested by receiving parties or differences in available resources. A network node sets up an output VC (Virtual Channel) link to be connected to an input VC link, the VC links being parts of a point-multipoint connection, receives a new VC link set-up request, and adds to the point-multipoint connection, in response to the new VC link set-up request, new output VC link with service attribute different from that of the input VC link.

摘要： In a label switched path (LSP) including label switching nodes, some of which process a Time To Live (TTL) value of a generic label header and others of which that do not process the TTL value, an adequate hop-count information regarding the LSP is reported from node to node by using a label distribution protocol. A node, which has received a message including a hop-count of the LSP from an upstream node or a downstream node, determines whether or not the node itself is to update the TTL value in a packet if received through the LSP. The node then transmits a message indicating that the hop-count is one or a message including the incremented hop-count, in accordance with this determination, to the downstream node or the upstream node. Thus, upon transferring packets on the LSP, the nodes forming the LSP that process the TTL value can appropriately decrement the TTL value of the packet.

摘要： A mechanism for performing multicast packet transfer when a certain one of the destination nodes participating in the multicast communication requires resource reservation for a certain packet flow specified among the packet flows to that destination node. A system may transfer multicast packets using a plurality of virtual connections based on which flow the packets to be transferred belong to, so that each node receives the packets without duplication. Alternatively, a system may selectively discard received packets to avoid processing duplicated packets, although duplicated packets are received at each node.

摘要： A router is usable to transfer a packet from a first node belonging to one logical network to a second node belonging to another logical network. The router receives a first message for resource reservation from the second node, and stores a correspondence relationship between a first virtual connection available for receiving a packet of a specified flow from the first node and a second virtual connection available for transmitting the packet of the specified flow to the second node, when the first and second virtual connections exist. The router transmits a second message for resource reservation based on the first message to the first node, when the correspondence relationship can be stored. Alternatively, the router, after transmitting the second message to the first node irrespective of the correspondence relationship, transmits a cancellation message to the first node for canceling the second message depending upon whether the correspondence relationship can be stored.

摘要： A node manages a virtual connection (VC) in a network such that at least one unused virtual connection to the neighboring node is established and registered. When a VC is needed to transmit a packet, the node obtains the required VC by selecting one of the registered unused VCs instead of setting up a new VC. When a VC in use becomes no longer necessary, the node registers the VC as an unused VC instead of releasing the VC.

摘要： In a label switched path (LSP) including label switching nodes, some of which process a Time To Live (TTL) value of a generic label header and others of which that do not process the TTL value, an adequate hop-count information regarding the LSP is reported from node to node by using a label distribution protocol. A node, which has received a message including a hop-count of the LSP from an upstream node or a downstream node, determines whether or not the node itself is to update the TTL value in a packet if received through the LSP. The node then transmits a message indicating that the hop-count is one or a message including the incremented hop-count, in accordance with this determination, to the downstream node or the upstream node. Thus, upon transferring packets on the LSP, the nodes forming the LSP that process the TTL value can appropriately decrement the TTL value of the packet.

摘要翻译： 在包括标签交换节点的标签交换路径（LSP）中，其中一些处理通用标签头的生存时间（TTL）值，并且其中不处理TTL值的适当的跳数信息 通过使用标签分发协议从节点报告LSP。 接收到包含来自上游节点或下游节点的LSP的跳数的消息的节点，如果通过LSP接收，则确定节点本身是否要更新分组中的TTL值。 然后，该节点根据该确定向下游节点或上游节点发送指示跳数为1的消息或包括递增的跳数的消息。 因此，在LSP上传送报文时，形成处理TTL值的LSP的节点可以适当地减小报文的TTL值。

摘要： A packet transfer control method and a node device which are capable of providing a dedicated cut-through path for a specific end-to-end packet flow, while reducing a time required until the cut-through path is established, so as to be able to reduce the load of the address analysis processing at the router. One node belonging to one logical network stores an information indicating an existence of a first dedicated virtual path for transferring packet flows specified by a first condition, which is capable of transferring packets without applying a network layer processing up to another node belonging to another logical network, and the communicates an identifier information for identifying a second dedicated virtual path for transferring a packet flow specified by a second condition which is more specific than the first condition by utilizing the first dedicated virtual path, and a condition information for indicating the second condition, in order to set up the second dedicated virtual path up to a termination point node of the first dedicated virtual path or a further downstream side node, between that one node and the termination point node.
