Title:
MANAGEMENT OF PATH DESIGNATION IN PACKET COMMUNICATION NETWORK
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3388512
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain centralized management of connection path designation by holding the table of a path object in each agent node, monitoring the respective path data objects and generating a new path when any change of value is detected.
SOLUTION: A route management controller 35 is provided in one of network nodes and performs centralized management concerning the establishment/ completion of all the path designation protocol paths of a network. Each agent node is provided with a path table 36 containing one entry for each action route to start/complete by this node. The entry in the table 36 can be read from a remote position by a prescribed command. Each node continuously monitors the value in the path data object and when any change is generated, the generation of new path is started by a route controller 33 and identified by the new value. The entry is prepared in the table 36 and a path condition table 37 for each new path.
