    摘要: To ensure a LES issues address resolution responses when necessary, an association between a MAC/ATM address pair and an intersubnet shortcut virtual channel connection (VCC) is registered. When the LES receives a first data frame being sent from a first station to a second station, with the second station having a MAC address associated with a shortcut VCC, a second data frame is created. The second data frame has as a source address the MAC address. The second frame is sent to devices associated with the first station so that the devices may learn the origination point for the second station and can issue messaging necessary to establish an shortcut VCC. In addition, frame loss reduction in an ATM communications network is accomplished by registering an association between a MAC address of a router associated with a MAC/ATM address pair, and a shortcut VCC. After the association is registered, a data frame being sent from a first station to a second station is received. The second station has the same MAC address as the MAC/ATM address pair. The destination MAC address of the data frame is replaced with the MAC address of the router, wherein the data frame can now be delivered. Also, a first station is prevented from having to wait to send data to a second station over a newly created shortcut VCC by registering an association between a MAC/ATM address pair and a shortcut VCC. Next, a flush request message from an edge device on an ELAN is received. The flush request has a destination ATM address equal to the ATM address of the MAC/ATM address pair. A flush response message is sent to the edge device, where upon receiving the flush response message, the edge device will start sending data from the first station to the second station over the newly created shortcut VCC.

    摘要: A system and method are disclosed for determining when to set up or tear down such a temporary transit path so that temporary transit paths are set up when they are needed and torn down when they are no longer needed. A temporary transit path is set up when the bit rate exceeds a first threshold. The temporary transit path is torn down when the bit rate is less than a second threshold. The temporary transit path is set up or torn down between a source station's router and a next hop router. The temporary transit path is set up within a subnetwork that includes the source station, the next hop router, and an intermediate router that is interconnected by a plurality of permanent transit paths to the source station and the next hop router. In one embodiment, a method for creating a temporary path for data packet transmission in the subnetwork is disclosed. Transmission of the data packets is initiated over the permanent transit paths that are coupled between the source station and the next hop router. A bit rate of the data packets from the source station to the next hop router is measured after initiating the transmission. Data packets transmission over the permanent transit paths is continued when the measured bit rate is below a first predetermined value. A temporary transit path between the source station and the next hop router is created when the measured bit rate is above the first predetermined value. The data packets are transmitted over the created temporary transit path when the measured bit rate is above the first predetermined value. In a preferred embodiment, the bit rate is measured again after creating the temporary transit path and transmitting the data packets over the created temporary transit path. The created temporary transit path is torn down when the bit rate is below the second predetermined value. Transmission of the data packets is sent over the permanent transit paths from the source station to the next hop routers once the temporary transit path is torn down.

    摘要: In an NHRP (NBMA Next Hop Resolution Protocol) address resolution system for transforming a network layer address to a data link layer address in an NBMA (Non-Broadcast, Multi-Access) network not sharing media, an NHRP processing section provides a function of resolving an address while an ATMARP (Asynchronous Transfer Mode Address Resolution Protocol) processing section provides a function of resolving an address on the basis of the ATMARP. A holding section is selectively accessed by the NHRP processing section or ATMARP processing section for holding address information registered by the NHRP or address information registered by the ATMARP. When the NHRP processing section receives an NHRP resolution request packet requesting for a resolution of the address of a given ATMARP terminal's address, the processing section sends, if the ATMARP terminal and a terminal sent the NHRP resolution request packet do not belong to the same subnetwork, a reply representative of the address information of an interface received the request packet.

    摘要: An internetwork relay system and method for transmitting IP traffic including an edge and a core. The edge includes an ingress and egress routers and the core includes a switch network. The ingress router communicates with and receives an IP packet from a source network. The ingress router attaches to each IP packet, a globally unique label which is used to forward the IP packet across the network. The relay switch network communicates with the ingress router, receives the IP packet from the ingress router and forwards the IP packet along its transmission path based on destination information included in its attached label. The egress router receives the IP packet from the switch network and forwards it to a destination network. Once received, the destination network forwards the IP packet to its intended destination.

    摘要: A NHRP/MPOA (Next Hop Resolution Protocol/Multi-Protocol Over ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode)) system for automatically collecting, by using NHRP Extensions, the IP addresses of MPOA servers via which a Resolution Request is sequentially transferred is disclosed. The system includes an input unit or data inputting means and an output unit implemented by a display or a printer. A route search commanding unit analyzes a command received from the input unit or produces an address from a received packet. A receipt unit receives a Resolution Request from another MPS server or another MPC client. A packet handling unit analyzes the content of a received packet and executes necessary processing. A transmission unit sends a Resolution Request to another MPS server or another MPC client. A memory stores a routing table on a computer (router), network interface information and information relating to a computer (router) on which the MPS is mounted. A route displaying method is also disclosed.

    摘要: In a data communication internetwork including a source station, an end station, and a default router for the source station, a default communication path including the default router is defined between the source station and the destination station. During operation of the data communication internetwork, a shortcut data communication path by passing the default router is established between the source station and the destination station, such that data packets transmitted by the source station are not received by the default router. After the shortcut communication path has been established, a control frame containing source-route information regarding the source station is transmitted to the router, and the source-route information is stored at the router. In this manner, the default router can efficiently direct data packets to the source station and facilitate the establishment of shortcut communication paths terminating at the source station even though the default router is bypassed by a shortcut communication path.
