Abstract

A method of managing frame and switch and network structure thereof is disclosed. The method of managing frame provided by the present invention comprises: setting a FIFO queue of a network connect device having a higher processing degree and other FIFO queues having a lower processing degree; and assigning a control frame to the FIFO queue having the higher processing degree, wherein the control frame is a control signal which is required during the operation of network connect device and is outputted by a control device that is build-in or build-out the network connect device. By utilizing the present invention, the control frames among network connect devices have priority to be processed first, and the delay is decreased while sending, receiving and transferring of control frames, so that the quality of service of network is enhanced.

In the network communication, in addition to the continuous transmission of the data frame, the control frame is also continuously transmitted in each network device and network connection device to confirm the alternative of network communication ^ In order to welcome the transmission status of the magic Aiwan (such as peer-to-peer network communication) or multiple parties (such as broadcast network communication), it is constantly adjusted to make the transmission or reception of data frames smoother, Fast and accurate. Therefore, whether the control frame can be transmitted and received in the gates of various network devices and network-connected devices on time and correctly will affect the network's work efficiency and communication service quality. When the network is not busy, because the data traffic is not large, the internal FIF queues of network-connected devices such as switches or routers are not fully loaded, so you can follow the information contained in the received frame (such as the frame's Data type 'processing level and destination, etc.), the frame is easily assigned to the appropriate FIF corresponding to the appropriate port.

Description of the invention () Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, other FIF0 members 18 in group U4 are other frames used to temporarily store non-control frames. Therefore, by using the frame management method of the present invention, the control frame between the network device and the network connection device (such as a switch, etc.) can be transmitted from other data types during transmission and reception. The frame is distinguished and temporarily stored in the FIF0 queue with a higher processing level, so it can be transmitted and received in priority over other frames, making the communication and control between the network device and the network-connected device more accurate To improve the quality of services provided by the Internet. In addition, the present invention also provides a network architecture using a frame management method. Please refer to FIG. 3, which illustrates a schematic diagram of a network architecture to which an embodiment of the present invention is applied. In the network architecture of FIG. 3, the network 200 connects the network connection device 202 and the network connection device 2 through the port 204 of the network connection device 202 and the port 208 of the network connection device 206. 〇6, and the port 210 of the network connection device 202 is connected to the control device 212. This control device 2 1 2 is used to control the network connection device 206, and a control frame required for control operations, and is transmitted through the network connection device and the network 200. When the control frame 214 is transmitted from the control device 212 to the network connection device 206, the control frame 214 will be temporarily stored in the FIFO queue with a higher processing level in the fif〇 buffer group of the port 21o. Then, they are transmitted to the network connection device 206 through the port 204 and the network 200 in sequence. Then, after the control frame 214 is subjected to frame filtering processing and judgment processing by the network connection device 206, the FIFO buffer group of the port 208 has a higher processing level of $ 10. This paper standard is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification ( 210χ 297 公 楚) " ^--......... Ping ......, Yiding ......... ^ (Please read the Please fill in this page again for attention)! 237468 ^ Printed by the Consumer Property Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 B7 Invention Note () The queue will be planned to temporarily store the control frame 2 1 4. ; Wave set 206 processes this control frame 2 1 4 in sequence. In the same way, when the control frame 216 is transmitted from the network connection device 206 to the control unit 212, the 'control frame 216 will be temporarily stored in the FIF0 buffer group of port 208 and has a higher processing level (such as higher Processing level), and then sequentially transmitted to the network connection device 202 via the port 208 and the network 2000 in the case of neodymium. Then, after the control frame 2 丨 6 is subjected to the frame filtering process and the judgment process of the network connection device 202, the FIF〇 queue in the fif〇 buffer group of the port 204 will be planned. 6. Used to temporarily store the control frame 21 6. Then it is transferred to the queue with higher processing level in port 21, and finally the network connection device 202 sends this control frame 2 丨 6 to the control device 2 1 2 in order. The advantage of the present invention is to provide a frame management method and its switch and network architecture. According to the frame management method of the present invention, the control frame required for the operation of the network connection device is After receiving, the network-connected devices are temporarily stored in a queue with a higher processing level to obtain processing of frames that take precedence over other data types. Therefore, it is possible to reduce retransmission of control frames or self-receiving to transmission. Delays, which in turn improves the quality of service provided by the network. As will be understood by those familiar with this technology, the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of patent application for the present invention; all others completed without departing from the spirit of the present invention Effective changes or modifications should be included in the scope of patent application described below.
