    摘要: A network system includes a communication apparatus, and a control apparatus configured to control the communication apparatus. The communication apparatus includes a memory configured to store program instructions, and a processor configured to execute the instructions to receive an address of a destination virtual machine from the control apparatus, receive a packet from a source virtual machine, identify, based on the address of the destination virtual machine corresponding to the received packet, an identifier of an edge node connected to the destination virtual machine, and add the identifier of the edge node to the received packet.

    摘要: A communication device (100) includes a plurality of communication units (103-1, 103-2) that transmit data in different transmission schemes from one another, a route selector (101) that searches for a most appropriate communication route and gives an instruction to transmit data from the communication unit corresponding to the most appropriate communication route, and a converter/sorter (102) that converts data into a format compatible with a transmission scheme of the most appropriate communication route and outputs the converted data to the communication unit indicated by the route selector (101), wherein the communication unit corresponding to the most appropriate communication route transmits the converted data. It is thereby possible to perform communications using the most appropriate communication route among a plurality of transmission schemes even in the case where an application is not compatible with the data format or protocol of the most appropriate communication route.

    摘要: A network node, computer program, computer-readable medium and method for fail-safe data transmission in a network, in which data packets are transmitted from a sender to a receiver via redundant paths, upon which resources for the transmission are reserved at participating network nodes utilizing an identifier associated with the relevant path, wherein, if a new path is to be found for at least one of the paths involved, then the previous reservations on all redundant paths are maintained, a new redundant path is determined for the at least one path involved and an attempt is made to reserve resources for the transmission on this new redundant path at the participating network nodes, wherein a new identifier associated with the new path is utilized, and if the new reservations on the at least one new path are successful, then previous reservations on the at least one previous path involved are removed.

    摘要: A first router in a first AS, the first router comprises: a processor configured to: obtain information about a broadcast link connecting the first router to a second router in a second AS, and generate a link state message comprising the information; and a transmitter coupled to the processor and configured to transmit the link state message to a third router, wherein the third router is in the first AS and is adjacent to the first router. A method comprises: receiving a first link state message from a first router; receiving a second link state message from a second router; receiving a third link state message from a third router; determining which of the first router, the second router, and the third router are ASBRs connected to a broadcast link based on information in the first link state message, the second link state message, and the third link state message.
