METHOD FOR DETERMINING PACKET ROUTE IN VLAN, AND VLAN SYSTEM USING ENERGY-SAVING ROUTE

摘要

A VLAN system (100) using an energy-saving route comprises: a terminal (110) through which a user inputs or outputs data; a first switch (120) which connects the terminal to a network; and multiple second switches (130) which are connected to the first switch and form a relay link. If the traffic load of at least one of the multiple second switches is below a minimum threshold value when transmitting packets by using an initial route formed by the relay link (300), the multiple second switches set up a concentrated route in order to enable the packets to be concentrated in a specific route out of the relay link.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2015
