SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENABLING G.HN NODES TO SUPPORT 1905.1 RELAYING (MAC RELAYING) WHILE SUPPORTING LEGACY G.HN RELAYING ACCORDING TO THE G.HN STANDARDS

摘要

first connection via the network in the second node and the third node and the communication to the device comprising a first node is configured. The first node including a first network layer associated with the first communication domain. The first communication domain correspond to the first connection. A second network layer is associated with the first communication domain, and the second communication domain. The first communication domain, and the second communication domain are different from each other. The first network layer is configured to receive a data packet to be relayed to the third node from the second node, forwarding the data packet in a first mode to a third node, and the second the data packet in the second mode optionally provided to the network layer. The second network layer is adapted to the data packet in a second mode to forward to the third node.
