Patent Searching and Data


Title:
NETWORK SYSTEM, SWITCH, AND CONNECTION TERMINAL DETECTION METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/137646
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In an open flow network, it is specified which port number of which node device is connected to a terminal that is connected to a node device group, using only the port number (port information) and the source MAC address (Source MAC) of a packet transmitted from a terminal. Specifically, a node device compares a port number and source MAC address (Source MAC) pair of the packet sent from the terminal to the node device, and a port number and MAC address information pair held in a pre-stage search table, and confirms agreement (a match). When there is no agreement (a match), the node device notifies a control device using an inquiry information (Packet-in) function of overflow. Furthermore, the node device compares the destination MAC address (Destination MAC) information of the packet and the MAC address information held in a post-stage search table, and confirms whether there is agreement (a match).
