Abstract

A communications network operates to conduct the communication of packet based data between communication devices of the network. Local addressing is implemented, to ease the addressing of devices, and to avoid the need to use the full length 6 Byte source and destination Media Access Control (MAC) addresses. Address length is variable, on the basis of previously recorded activity between two devices in communication. Address length control is effected by messages held in pre-allocated areas of a packet of data. The shorter local addresses tend to be allocated to more frequently addressed devices, whereby distinct addresses are allocated in accordance with said address length allocation. Application is suitable for wireless networks where energy consumption resulting from data transfer may be an important factor.
