Static routing method and packet routing apparatus implementing the same method

摘要

The present invention is related to the distribution (routing) technology of communication packets in the network, in particular static route setting method ( static routing) to techniques. ; static routing (static routing) method according to the present invention, Next-hop uses (next hop) address groups representing alias (alias name). Static routing command represented by the alias for each group destination address (destination IP address group) Next-hop (next hop) to set the address group. Next to be defined for the alias-hop is different for each group is defined according to the router packet distribution path is set in the entire network. ; The router Next-hop (next hop) when receiving the address mapping definitions request command alias (alias name) for a group, these settings can be updated by external conditions for the alias and the corresponding virtual a request for the name mapping information from the router to respond to the broadcast (broadcast) in the peripheral router for that alias Next-next-hop address of the group receiving the information to be mapped and thereby - defines a hop address group.
