A method for reducing the number of connections between ELAN or LIS in MPOA network

摘要

The main disadvantage of the invention is an asynchronous transmission mode device (hereinafter referred to as ATM-LAN hereinafter) in providing MPOA service multi-protocol processing on the ATM (Multiprotocol Over ATM, or less MPOA quot;) in providing a local area network services over ATM the invention relates to a method to compensate for lack of scalability issues. Particularly, to a fully connected (full mesh) ELAN or Minimization of the number of redundant VCC connection between the LIS to the structure so that it does not happen to provide extensibility in the MPOA networks that may occur in the MPOA network.; The invention origin MPC other imitation screen a local area network (Emulated LAN, hereinafter called ELAN) or logical Internet protocol division network (Logical Internet Protocol Segment, less than LIS quot;) already the ELAN when trying to communicate with the purpose MPC belonging to If the LIS or communicate with other MPC or other virtual channel connection (d virtual channel connection, hereinafter referred to as VCC) is present and sends the information to the MPC or VCC which is currently communicating. And to analyze the information received from the MPC or information to be forwarded to their forwarding the information to the purpose of MPC. All treatment for it is made of the control of the MPOA server (MPOA Server, hereinafter referred to as MPS) for managing the MPC. Applying the method of the present invention can be achieved, but the worst case complete connection structure between the inner and every ELAN ELAN complete connection structure of the entire MPOA network may break. Therefore, it is possible to provide an extension of the MPOA network.
