摘要:
A packet multiplexing control method and equipment using the method are realized by a simple control method with reduced hardware, enabling to provide low cost, efficient and fair bandwidth control corresponding to traffic characteristic of users. The packet multiplexing control method includes the steps of extracting a header part in each packet data received from a plurality of terminals; learning an address in the extracted header part; and controlling either admission processing or discard processing of the received packet according to the result of learning the address.

A repeater and method provides a technique to minimize congestion and packet loss, which may be generated when a fault is detected in a ring type packet network or when the network recovers from such a fault. A repeater having a plurality of ports for transmitting and receiving packets in a ring type network for transmitting the received packets on the basis of an address included in a received packet and a transmitting port database indicating an identifier of a port to transmit the packet having the address as the destination, comprises a control packet processing block to detect reception of a fault notifying packet transmitted from a repeater having detected a fault and a control block to update, upon reception of the fault notifying packet from an immediately adjacent repeater, a port identifier of the transmitting port database having a port identifier of the port having received said fault notifying packet into a port identifier of a port connected to another immediately adjacent repeater.

A data relay apparatus stores identification information for identifying itself. A blocking unit blocks a port to avoid an occurrence of a loop path if the data relay apparatus is a master node, and blocks a port connected to a link of the data relay apparatus if a failure occurs to the link. When the link is restored from the failure, a comparing unit compares identification information of other apparatus connected to the link, with the identification information stored. Based on a result of the comparison, a determining unit determines whether the data relay apparatus should be set as a master node.

An arbitrary node that belongs to a virtual LAN sends a request packet including a count value indicating the number of communication hops across nodes to each of its adjacent nodes that belong to the virtual LAN and are adjacent. Upon receiving the request packet, each of the adjacent nodes sends the request packet in which the count value is incremented or decremented to each of its adjacent nodes that belong to the virtual LAN and are adjacent to the node, excluding a sender of the request packet received, and sends a reply packet including the sender's address, an address of the node that is a replying node, and the count value to a given return destination. The return destination collects reply packets sent thereto and keeps track of the topology of the nodes constituting the virtual LAN from information contained in the reply packets.

An arbitrary node that belongs to a virtual LAN sends a request packet including a count value indicating the number of communication hops across nodes to each of its adjacent nodes that belong to the virtual LAN and are adjacent. Upon receiving the request packet, each of the adjacent nodes sends the request packet in which the count value is incremented or decremented, as predetermined, to each of its adjacent nodes that belong to the virtual LAN and are adjacent to the node, excluding a sender of the request packet received, and sends a reply packet including the sender's address (sender address), an address of the node that is a replying node (replying node address), and the count value to a given return destination. The return destination collects reply packets sent thereto and keeps track of the topology of the nodes constituting the virtual LAN from information contained in the reply packets.
摘要:
A fault detection device capable of detecting network faults by itself with high accuracy in multi-vendor environments, without the need to interoperate with an associated device according to an identical protocol. A monitoring control packet transmitter generates a fault monitoring control packet and transmits the generated packet to the associated device with which the fault detection device need not interoperate to detect faults according to the same protocol. A transmit packet counter keeps count of the transmitted fault monitoring control packet. A receive packet counter receives a control packet transmitted from the associated device, and keeps count of the received control packet. A fault detector monitors the count of transmitted packets and the count of received packets and, if at least one of the counts remains unchanged for a fixed period of time, judges that a fault has occurred and sends a fault notification to outside.

The packet switch performs a scheduling process by selecting a unicast packet or a multicast packet to be output from each of N input buffers such that input lines and output lines cannot conflict each other for a unicast packet, and such that the input lines cannot conflict each other for the multicast packet.

A ring connection apparatus according to one embodiment is provided with: a frame receiver that receives frames to be transmitted to one of the plurality of ring networks from each of the plurality of networks; and a frame transmitter that transmits each of frames, a passing frame to be transmitted from a device to another device inside said one ring network and a crossing frame to be transmitted to a device in said one ring network from a device in another ring network different from said one ring network, to said one ring network within the range of a band, which is separately determined in advance.
