A mobile communication method includes: a step for transmitting a binding update message for notification of a care-of-address of the network where the mobile network has gone, from a mobile router to a home agent, which can be used after the network has moved; and a step performed upon reception of the binding update message, for notification by the home agent of routing information concerning the route to the mobile network managed by the mobile router to the home network. Thus, the routing information from a mobile node is given to a gateway and the router on the home network without delay after movement, and it is possible to prevent loss of data sent to the mobile node belonging to the network to which the mobile network is connected after the movement.

In a case where internal links connected to plural mobile routers in a mobile network respectively have unique network identifiers initially set, the mobile router, when receiving a network identifier different from the initial setting advertised from another mobile router, selects either one of the network identifier initially set to the self and that advertised, as a network identifier of the internal link connected to the self. Then, if the one selected is identical to that initially set, the mobile router advertises the network identifier to within the mobile network and registers it in a home agent. If not identical, the mobile router registers the one advertised in the home agent as a network identifier of the internal link connected to the self.

Physical router devices report router status information to a router priority calculation device via a local network. According to the router status information reported, the router priority calculation device calculates priority of each physical router device and reports the priority to the physical router devices via the local network. According to the priority reported, the physical router devices decide one master router and a backup router other than this from a plurality of physical router devices. Thus, by utilizing the priority obtained from the router status information on the physical router devices, it is possible to automatically and flexibly constitute a virtual router device.

Between network connection apparatuses connected to each other by use of a virtual redundant arrangement, a first network connection apparatus that is in a standby state receives an advertisement message from a second network connection apparatus that is active as a network connection apparatus, and uses a priority comparing section to compare its own priority with the priority in the received advertisement message. When its own priority is higher, the first network connection apparatus uses a master down timer comparing section to compare the remaining time of a master down timer with the time as weighted in accordance with its own priority and resets the timer for a shorter time.

摘要:
In a mobile network system composed of a mobile network with a mobile router and a terminal interconnected, and of a home agent, when the mobile router connects to an external network, the mobile router informs the home agent of path information to the mobile network including the mobile router. Receiving the path information, the home agent inquires the mobile router in the home network whether or not the mobile router connects to the mobile network informed. Then, the home agent advertises path information to this mobile network only when the mobile router connecting to the mobile network does not exist. Accordingly, the home agent can rapidly switch to an optimum path to the external network.

A router includes a multicast packet transmitting unit that multicasts the identifier of the router periodically, a relay determining unit that determines whether a received data packet should be relayed to a router in another segment, an order determining unit that determines, on the basis of information included in multicast packets from the other routers, the router to which the data packet shall be transferred, and a packet relaying unit that, when the data packet is not relayed, notifies the transmission source which transmitted the packet as to the router selected by the order determining unit to be the relay destination and then transfers the data packet to the selected router. A router suitable for relaying the packet is thus selected. Since switching of the relay router may be performed by following the router redirection message, it is unnecessary to add a new function to a terminal.
摘要:
In a mobile network system composed of plural mobile networks and a home agent, the home agent inquires mobile routers in a mobile network whether or not a terminal is connected, if detecting the absence of the terminal, when data addressed to the terminal arrives at a home network of the terminal in the mobile network. Responding to this inquiry, the mobile routers search whether or not the terminal is connected to the own mobile networks. If the terminal is connected, the mobile routers inform the home agent of the presence of the terminal. When receiving this notice, the home agent transfers data addressed to this terminal to a mobile router as a notice source. This process, even if a terminal moves to a mobile network having a same network prefix as that of the home network, allows transferring a packet accurately to the terminal.

摘要:
Any mobile router or terminal informs a home agent device of a policy of selecting a mobile router, entered by the user. Then, the home agent device creates relay setting information according to the policy information informed and the characteristic information of the mobile routers, and transmits the information to the mobile routers. This relay setting information is for judging whether a packet addressed to the external network, received by the mobile routers is relayed to the external network or transferred to the own network, and if transferring, for determining a transfer destination. Each of the mobile routers relays a received packet according to its relay setting information, thus implementing communication reflecting a user's intention as needed.
