Description

異質網路系統及其協調者閘道器Heterogeneous network system and its coordinator gateway

本發明是有關於一種異質網路(Heterogeneous Network)系統,且特別是有關於一種異質網路的協調者閘道器。The present invention relates to a Heterogeneous Network system, and more particularly to a coordinator gateway for a heterogeneous network.

異質網路通常是指在不同頻帶(frequency spectrum)或不同通訊協定之標準的2個網路。例如,全球行動通信系統(Global System for Mobile communications,簡稱為GSM)與個人手持式電話系統(Personal Handyphone System)就可以被視為異質網路,因為這兩者在核心網路以及無線接取網路都使用不同的通訊協定。又例如,GSM網路與使用IEEE 802.11n協定之無線區域網路也可被視為異質網路。Heterogeneous networks usually refer to two networks in different frequency bands or different communication protocol standards. For example, the Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) and the Personal Handyphone System can be considered heterogeneous networks because both are in the core network and the wireless access network. Roads use different communication protocols. As another example, a GSM network and a wireless local area network using the IEEE 802.11n protocol can also be considered a heterogeneous network.

另外,兩個在不同傳輸媒介運作的網路系統,也可以被稱為異質網路,例如ZigBee(由ZigBee Alliance制定的無線通訊網路標準)網路與電力線網路這兩種網路,就算是異質網路。ZigBee網路使用無線傳輸,可以在有限網路架設困難的環境下提供資料傳輸的服務,而電力線網路使用大多數建築物既有的電力線,並無須重新佈建傳輸線路。將此兩種異質網路連接在一起可以發揮特定之優點,例如低網路佈建成本、快速佈建網路以及彈性之網路架構。當需要將這兩個異質網路連接時,則需要一閘道器將這兩個網路連接在一起,並提供相關的通訊協定之轉換與封包格式之轉換。當多個閘道器可以提供多個不同通訊協定之轉換功能時,多個異質網路就可以被耦接在一起。In addition, two network systems operating on different transmission media can also be called heterogeneous networks, such as ZigBee (a wireless communication network standard developed by the ZigBee Alliance) network and power line network, even if it is Heterogeneous network. The ZigBee network uses wireless transmission to provide data transmission services in a difficult environment with limited network setup. The power line network uses the existing power lines of most buildings and does not require re-arrangement of transmission lines. Connecting these two heterogeneous networks can provide specific benefits, such as low network deployment costs, fast network deployment, and resilient network architecture. When the two heterogeneous networks need to be connected, a gateway is needed to connect the two networks together and provide conversion of the relevant protocol and conversion of the packet format. Multiple heterogeneous networks can be coupled together when multiple gateways can provide multiple different communication protocol conversion functions.

然而,目前一個包括不同通訊協定或不同傳輸媒介之網路的異質網路系統,除了需要在異質網路間提供通訊協定與封包格式之轉換,更重要的是封包傳送時的路徑選取。目前缺乏一個有效的路徑選取機制,以致於異質網路系統之封包傳送效能低落且異質網路在不同環境下的優點並未被有效發揮。However, at present, a heterogeneous network system including networks with different communication protocols or different transmission media needs to provide communication protocol and packet format conversion between heterogeneous networks, and more importantly, path selection when packets are transmitted. At present, there is a lack of an effective path selection mechanism, so that the packet transmission performance of the heterogeneous network system is low and the advantages of the heterogeneous network in different environments are not effectively utilized.

為解決上述之問題,本發明提供一種異質網路的協調者閘道器,用以提昇此異質網路之封包傳送效能。To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a heterogeneous network coordinator gateway for improving the packet transmission performance of the heterogeneous network.

以下請詳細參照本發明的實施例,其實施例繪示於附圖中,附帶一提的是,附圖中相同的參考標記表示用於相同或相似的部件。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the following, the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

首先請參照圖1,圖1繪示本發明一實施例的異質網路系統100的示意圖。異質網路系統100包括第一網路閘道器110、第一網路112、協調者閘道器120、第二網路124、路由器(router)122、第三網路閘道器130以及第三網路132。其中,協調者閘道器120連接第一網路112、第二網路124以及第三網路132,而這三個網路的傳輸媒介不同。另外,第一網路112、第二網路124及第三網路132分別包括多個網路裝置。第一網路112連接第一網路閘道器110並藉由第一網路閘道器110與另外兩個網路連接。相同地,第三網路132連接第三網路閘道器130並藉由第一網路閘道器110與另外兩個網路連接。而協調者閘道器120連接第二網路路由器120及多個網路裝置1241~124n。First, please refer to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a heterogeneous network system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The heterogeneous network system 100 includes a first network gateway 110, a first network 112, a coordinator gateway 120, a second network 124, a router 122, a third network gateway 130, and a Three networks 132. The coordinator gateway 120 is connected to the first network 112, the second network 124, and the third network 132, and the transmission media of the three networks are different. In addition, the first network 112, the second network 124, and the third network 132 respectively include a plurality of network devices. The first network 112 is coupled to the first network gateway 110 and is coupled to the other two networks by the first network gateway 110. Similarly, the third network 132 is coupled to the third network gateway 130 and is coupled to the other two networks by the first network gateway 110. The coordinator gateway 120 is connected to the second network router 120 and the plurality of network devices 1241~124n.

在本實施例中,第一網路112、第二網路124及第三網路132的傳輸媒介不同。例如,第一網路閘道器110經由有線傳輸方式連接到協調者閘道120,並將第一網路112與第二網路124連接在一起。而第二網路路由器122經由無線傳輸方式分別連接到第一網路閘道器110、協調者閘道器120以及第三網路閘道器130。如此,三個異質網路的閘道器都連接在一起,形成一個異質網路系統。In this embodiment, the transmission media of the first network 112, the second network 124, and the third network 132 are different. For example, the first network gateway 110 is connected to the coordinator gateway 120 via wire transmission and connects the first network 112 with the second network 124. The second network routers 122 are respectively connected to the first network gateway 110, the coordinator gateway 120, and the third network gateway 130 via wireless transmission. In this way, the gateways of the three heterogeneous networks are connected together to form a heterogeneous network system.

在此,舉個實際的例子來進一步說明,其中圖1繪示的第一網路112內的多個網路裝置是透過電力線網路來連接。第二網路路由器122藉由ZigBee網路系統與第一網路閘道器110、協調者閘道器120以及第三網路閘道器130連接,而第二網路124內的多個網路裝置也透過ZigBee網路系統連接在一起。最後,第三網路132內的多個網路裝置是藉由乙太網路(Ethernet)彼此連接的。第三網路132則是夠過第三網路閘道器130與連接第一、二網路112、124。Here, a practical example is further illustrated, wherein a plurality of network devices in the first network 112 shown in FIG. 1 are connected through a power line network. The second network router 122 is coupled to the first network gateway 110, the coordinator gateway 120, and the third network gateway 130 by a ZigBee network system, and the plurality of networks within the second network 124 The road devices are also connected through the ZigBee network system. Finally, a plurality of network devices in the third network 132 are connected to each other via an Ethernet. The third network 132 is sufficient to pass through the third network gateway 130 and to connect the first and second networks 112, 124.

上述的範例中所舉個三個網路連接成一個網路系統僅是一個範例,並非用以限定本發明。異質網路系統100中各網路之傳輸媒介亦可以是其他類型,且異質網路系統100可以擴展為包括三個以上之網路,且這些網路具有多數種不同的傳輸媒介。另外,異質網路系統中可以有一個以上之閘道器,但是必須要有至少一個協調者閘道器耦接在這些閘道器及這些網路間。The three network connections shown in the above examples are only one example and are not intended to limit the present invention. The transmission medium of each network in the heterogeneous network system 100 can also be of other types, and the heterogeneous network system 100 can be extended to include more than three networks, and these networks have a plurality of different transmission media. In addition, there may be more than one gateway in a heterogeneous network system, but at least one coordinator gateway must be coupled between these gateways and these networks.

請繼續參照圖1之實施例,異質網路系統100中的路由器122主要執行網路層之網際網路協定定址(Internet Protocol address,簡稱IP address)的更新、查找與網際網路封包之轉傳。而第一網路之閘道器110以及第三網路閘道器130則執行個別網路之間的封包傳送。此路由器122在本實施例中非必要組件,當異質網路系統100是複雜且龐大時,才需要路由器122以增進封包轉傳之效能。在本實例中,第一網路之閘道器110以及第三網路閘道器130也可以直接與協調者閘道器120連接。值得一提的是,協調者閘道器120除了執行第二網路124內的封包傳送,還藉由自本身第二網路124中蒐集的網路裝置名單,以及匯集由第一網路閘道器110與第三網路閘道器130蒐集而得的網路裝置名單,彙整成一個網路裝置名單。此網路裝置名單包括在異質網路系統100內所有網路裝置名稱。另外,協調者閘道器120還同時偵測此三個網路中的交通狀況,以選取封包傳送之最佳路徑,並依最佳路徑來調派封包傳送,進而提昇異質網路內封包傳送之效能。本實施例將以圖2~3說明此異質網路系統100之協調者閘道器及一般閘道器的技術手段。圖3繪示根據本發明實施例之閘道器110的一實施方式的示意圖。Referring to the embodiment of FIG. 1, the router 122 in the heterogeneous network system 100 mainly performs network protocol address (IP address) update, search and network packet forwarding. . The first network gateway 110 and the third network gateway 130 perform packet transmission between individual networks. This router 122 is an unnecessary component in this embodiment. When the heterogeneous network system 100 is complex and bulky, the router 122 is required to improve the performance of packet forwarding. In the present example, the first network gateway 110 and the third network gateway 130 may also be directly coupled to the coordinator gateway 120. It is worth mentioning that the coordinator gateway 120 performs the packet transmission in the second network 124, the list of network devices collected from the second network 124 itself, and the aggregation by the first network gate. The list of network devices collected by the router 110 and the third network gateway 130 is merged into a list of network devices. This list of network devices includes all network device names within the heterogeneous network system 100. In addition, the coordinator gateway 120 also detects the traffic conditions in the three networks to select the best path for the packet transmission, and dispatches the packet transmission according to the optimal path, thereby improving the packet transmission in the heterogeneous network. efficacy. In this embodiment, the technical means of the coordinator gateway and the general gateway of the heterogeneous network system 100 will be described with reference to Figs. 3 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a gateway 110 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

以下請參見圖2,圖2繪示根據本發明實施例之協調者閘道器120的一實施方式的示意圖。協調者閘道器200連接第一網路112與第二網路124。其中,第一網路112如圖1之實施例所述的是一個有線網路,其內部之網路裝置(未繪示)經由有線傳輸連接在一起。而第二網路124則是一個具有與第一網路112不同傳輸媒介的無線網路,也就是說,其內部之網路裝置(未繪示)經由無線傳輸連接在一起。Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a coordinator gateway 120 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The coordinator gateway 200 connects the first network 112 with the second network 124. The first network 112 is a wired network as shown in the embodiment of FIG. 1. The internal network devices (not shown) are connected by wired transmission. The second network 124 is a wireless network having a different transmission medium than the first network 112, that is, its internal network devices (not shown) are connected via wireless transmission.

請繼續參照圖2,協調者閘道器120包括接收端緩衝器202、封包解析器204、裝置名單206、傳送緩衝器208、網路監視裝置210、網路裝置名單212、包調派裝置214、接收端緩衝器222、封包解析器224、裝置名單226以及傳送緩衝器228。Referring to FIG. 2, the coordinator gateway 120 includes a receiver buffer 202, a packet parser 204, a device list 206, a transmission buffer 208, a network monitoring device 210, a network device list 212, and a packet dispatching device 214. Receiver buffer 222, packet parser 224, device list 226, and transmit buffer 228.

如前所述,網路裝置名單212儲存第一網路112及第二網路124中的所有網路裝置名稱。網路裝置名單212耦接裝置名單206、226。第一網路112內的裝置名單是由裝置名單206蒐集第一網路內所有裝置名稱得到的,而第二網路124內的裝置名單是由裝置名單226蒐集第二網路124內所有裝置名稱得到的。As previously mentioned, the network device list 212 stores all network device names in the first network 112 and the second network 124. The network device list 212 is coupled to the device lists 206, 226. The list of devices in the first network 112 is obtained by the device list 206 collecting all device names in the first network, and the device list in the second network 124 is collected by the device list 226 for all devices in the second network 124. The name is obtained.

舉一個實際的例子來說明,當一個新的網路裝置A(未繪示)登入第一網路112時,上述之網路裝置A會廣播一個登入訊息。封包解析器204藉由接收端緩衝器202接收此上述之網路裝置A傳送的傳送封包,並解析此傳送封包以更新協調者閘道器200之裝置名單206。網路裝置A廣播的登入訊息可包括上述之網路裝置A之識別碼(Identification code,簡稱為ID),並可包括一個負載內容為登入訊息。封包解析器204解析此登入訊息之封包後,則通知裝置名單206,而裝置名單206會新增上述之網路裝置A的狀態值紀錄到裝置名單206上面。As a practical example, when a new network device A (not shown) is logged into the first network 112, the network device A broadcasts a login message. The packet parser 204 receives the transport packet transmitted by the network device A as described above by the sink buffer 202, and parses the transport packet to update the device list 206 of the coordinator gateway 200. The login message broadcasted by the network device A may include an identification code (ID) of the network device A, and may include a load content as a login message. After parsing the packet of the login message, the packet parser 204 notifies the device list 206, and the device list 206 adds the status value record of the network device A to the device list 206.

相反地,當已登入到第一網路112的一個網路裝置B(未繪示)登出第一網路112時,網路裝置會廣播一個登出訊息。此時,封包解析器204藉由接收端緩衝器202接收上述之網路裝置B傳送的傳送封包,並解析此傳送封包以更新第一裝置名單206。此登出封包可包括上述之網路裝置B的ID,並可包括一個負載內容為登出訊息。封包解析器204解析此登出訊息之封包後,則通知裝置名單206,而裝置名單206會將欲網路裝置B的狀態值由第一裝置名單206上面刪除。Conversely, when a network device B (not shown) that has logged into the first network 112 logs out of the first network 112, the network device broadcasts a logout message. At this time, the packet parser 204 receives the transport packet transmitted by the network device B described above by the receiver buffer 202, and parses the transport packet to update the first device list 206. The logout packet may include the ID of the network device B described above, and may include a load content as a logout message. After parsing the packet of the logout message, the packet parser 204 notifies the device list 206, and the device list 206 deletes the state value of the device B to be deleted from the first device list 206.

裝置名單226的功能與上述之裝置名單206相同,即依據第二網路124內之網路裝置登入或登出之狀態,更新裝置名單226。協調者閘道器120中的網路裝置名單212則匯集第一網路112、第二網路124以及第三網路132內的裝置名單,以儲存異質網路100內所有網路裝置的名稱。本發明並不限於以上實施例,協調者閘道器200的網路裝置名單212還可在各網路之閘道器於裝置名單更新後,主動告知此協調者閘道器200更新網路裝置名單212之內容以匯集多個網路的網路裝置名單。此網路裝置名單212之內容可以包含各網路裝置所在之網路位置、網路裝置ID、服務此網路裝置之閘道器ID,以及此網路裝置距離閘道器之距離等參數。The function list 226 has the same function as the device list 206 described above, that is, the device list 226 is updated in accordance with the state of the network device login or logout in the second network 124. The list of network devices 212 in the coordinator gateway 120 aggregates the list of devices in the first network 112, the second network 124, and the third network 132 to store the names of all network devices in the heterogeneous network 100. . The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. The network device list 212 of the coordinator gateway 200 can also actively inform the coordinator gateway 200 to update the network device after the gateway of each network is updated in the device list. The contents of the list 212 are a list of network devices that aggregate multiple networks. The content of the network device list 212 may include parameters such as the network location of each network device, the network device ID, the gateway ID of the network device, and the distance of the network device from the gateway.

請繼續參照圖2之實施例,協調者閘道器120中的網路監視裝置210連接第一網路112及第二網路124,並且同時監視第一網路112及第二網路124的交通狀況。這裡所指的此交通狀況分別包括第一、第二網路112、124的壅塞狀況及傳送資料封包所需傳送的距離。Referring to the embodiment of FIG. 2, the network monitoring device 210 in the coordinator gateway 120 connects the first network 112 and the second network 124, and simultaneously monitors the first network 112 and the second network 124. traffic condition. The traffic conditions referred to herein include the congestion conditions of the first and second networks 112, 124, respectively, and the distances required to transmit the data packets.

網路監視裝置210可藉由定時廣播多個量測封包至多個網路以監視各網路內的交通狀況。其次,網路監視裝置210亦可以在網路裝置名單212每次更新時,重新啟動監視各網路內的交通狀況。另外,網路監視裝置210也可以在網路裝置名單212每次更新時,重新產生傳送的距離。The network monitoring device 210 can monitor traffic conditions within each network by periodically broadcasting a plurality of measurement packets to a plurality of networks. Secondly, the network monitoring device 210 can also restart monitoring the traffic conditions in each network when the network device list 212 is updated each time. In addition, the network monitoring device 210 may regenerate the transmitted distance each time the network device list 212 is updated.

當協調者閘道器120欲量測傳送資料封包所需傳送的距離時,網路監視裝置210會廣播多個量測封包至第一網路112及第二網路124。網路監視裝置210並藉由第一網路112及第二網路124中多個網路裝置對應產生的回覆封包來計算並產生傳送的距離。例如,當單一個回覆封包從一個網路裝置回覆時,每經過一個閘道器時,傳送的距離即增加一,或是回覆封包每經過一個路由器時,傳送的距離即增加一,亦或是取前所述回覆封包經過閘道器與路由器數目的總合來作為傳送的距離。When the coordinator gateway 120 is to measure the distance that the data packet needs to be transmitted, the network monitoring device 210 broadcasts a plurality of measurement packets to the first network 112 and the second network 124. The network monitoring device 210 calculates and generates the transmitted distance by using the reply packet generated by the plurality of network devices in the first network 112 and the second network 124. For example, when a single reply packet is replied from a network device, the distance transmitted is increased by one each time a gateway is passed, or the distance transmitted by each packet is increased by one, or The sum of the number of gateways and the number of routers passing through the packet is taken as the distance of transmission.

另外,網路監視裝置210還可藉由第一網路112(例如是有線網路)連接的傳輸線上的連續忙碌次數來判斷網路壅塞狀況。當傳輸線上的連續忙碌次數大於一個預設次數時,則表示此有線網路的交通狀況為壅塞狀況。例如,當第一預設次數可以是在單位時間內連續忙碌3次。依據實施例的實際狀況,本發明之此第一預設次數並不限於此例,也可以是其他數值。In addition, the network monitoring device 210 can also determine the network congestion condition by the continuous busy number on the transmission line connected by the first network 112 (for example, a wired network). When the number of consecutive busy times on the transmission line is greater than a preset number of times, it indicates that the traffic condition of the wired network is a congestion condition. For example, when the first preset number of times may be continuously busy 3 times in a unit time. According to the actual situation of the embodiment, the first preset number of times of the present invention is not limited to this example, and may be other values.

此外,在無線網路的壅塞狀況的監視上,當網路監視裝置210監視到在一個網路裝置A(未繪示)傳送封包的期間內,接收到與上述之網路裝置A所傳送的封包不同的另一個封包,則表示上述之網路裝置A的封包傳送遭受到碰撞。在本實施例中,網路監視裝置210可藉由偵測此無線網路,當發生資料封包的連續碰撞次數大於一個預設次數時,即表示此無線網路的交通狀況為壅塞狀況。例如,假設預設次數被設定為3時,當網路監視裝置210監視此無線網路內的封包傳送狀況。當上述之網路裝置A在第1次傳送封包期間遇到碰撞時,上述之網路裝置A便在二的1次方內隨機選取一個數字,並作等待以嘗試下一次的封包傳送。第1次等待時間為二的1次方內隨機選取一個數字再乘上傳送一個封包所需的時間。接著,當上述之網路裝置A第2次欲傳送相同之封包,又遇到碰撞時,上述之網路裝置A便在二的2次方內隨機選取一個數字,並第一次的方式再作等待以嘗試下一次的封包傳送。第2次等待時間為二的3次方內隨機選取一個數字再乘上傳送一個封包所需的時間。依此類推,當上述之網路裝A第3次嘗試傳送封包期間遇到碰撞時,就改為由二的3次方內隨機選取一個數字,並再作等待以嘗試下一次的封包傳送。第3次等待時間為二的3次方內隨機選取一個數字再乘上傳送一個封包所需的時間。當網路監視裝置210監視此無線網路內,有連續三次嘗試傳送封包都遇到碰撞時,即視為此網路之交通狀況為壅塞狀況。In addition, during the monitoring of the congestion condition of the wireless network, when the network monitoring device 210 monitors that a network device A (not shown) transmits the packet, it receives the transmission with the network device A described above. The other packet with a different packet indicates that the packet transmission of the above network device A is subject to collision. In this embodiment, the network monitoring device 210 can detect the wireless network, and when the number of consecutive collisions of the data packet occurs is greater than a preset number of times, the traffic condition of the wireless network is a congestion condition. For example, assuming that the preset number of times is set to 3, the network monitoring device 210 monitors the packet transmission status within the wireless network. When the network device A encounters a collision during the first transmission of the packet, the network device A randomly selects a number within the second power of the second and waits to try the next packet transmission. The first waiting time is two in the first power, and one number is randomly selected and multiplied by the time required to transmit a packet. Then, when the network device A described above wants to transmit the same packet for the second time and encounters a collision, the network device A randomly selects a number within the second power of the second, and the first time Wait for the next packet transfer. The second waiting time is two in the third power, randomly picking a number and multiplying the time required to transmit a packet. Similarly, when the network device A encounters a collision during the third attempt to transmit the packet, it randomly selects a number from the third power of the second, and waits again to try the next packet transmission. The third waiting time is two in the third power, randomly picking a number and multiplying the time required to transmit a packet. When the network monitoring device 210 monitors the wireless network and encounters a collision in three consecutive attempts to transmit the packet, the traffic condition of the network is regarded as a congestion condition.

當然,上述設定預設次數為3僅只是一個範例,本發明之此預設次數並不限於此例,也可以是其他數值。Of course, the preset number of times set by 3 is only an example. The preset number of times of the present invention is not limited to this example, and may be other values.

請繼續參照圖2之實施例,網路監視裝置210所獲悉之第一、第二網路112、124的交通狀況,可以被網路裝置名單212用來產生對應第一、第二網路112、124的封包傳送路徑。更進一步說明,網路裝置名單212可依據網路監視裝置210產生的第一交通狀況產生對應第一網路112的第一路徑。並且,網路裝置名單212可依據網路監視裝置210所產生的第二交通狀況產生對應第二網路124的第二路徑。依此類推,網路裝置名單212可依據網路監視裝置210所獲悉之網路N的交通狀況產生對應網路N的封包傳送路徑。Referring to the embodiment of FIG. 2, the traffic conditions of the first and second networks 112, 124 learned by the network monitoring device 210 can be used by the network device list 212 to generate corresponding first and second networks 112. , 124 packet transmission path. Further, the network device list 212 can generate a first path corresponding to the first network 112 according to the first traffic condition generated by the network monitoring device 210. Moreover, the network device list 212 can generate a second path corresponding to the second network 124 according to the second traffic condition generated by the network monitoring device 210. By analogy, the network device list 212 can generate a packet transmission path corresponding to the network N according to the traffic condition of the network N learned by the network monitoring device 210.

請繼續參照圖2之實施例,協調者閘道器200中的封包調派裝置214耦接至網路裝置名單212。另外,封包調派裝置214還依據網路裝置名單212產生之封包傳送路徑來傳送封包。舉個實際的範例說明,當封包調派裝置214接收到一個由第一網路112發送的傳送資料封包C,且傳送資料封包C的目的地是第二網路124時,封包調派裝置214會依據網路裝置名單212產生之第二路徑傳送將傳送資料封包C傳送至第二網路124。相同地,當封包調派裝置214接收到一個由第二網路124發送的傳送資料封包D,且傳送資料封包D的目的地是第一網路112時,封包調派裝置214會依據網路裝置名單212產生之第二路徑傳送將傳送資料封包C傳送至第一網路112。With continued reference to the embodiment of FIG. 2, the packet dispatch device 214 in the coordinator gateway 200 is coupled to the network device list 212. In addition, the packet dispatching device 214 also transmits the packet according to the packet transmission path generated by the network device list 212. As a practical example, when the packet dispatching device 214 receives a transport data packet C sent by the first network 112, and the destination of the data packet C is the second network 124, the packet dispatching device 214 The second path transmission generated by the network device list 212 transmits the transport data packet C to the second network 124. Similarly, when the packet dispatching device 214 receives a transport data packet D sent by the second network 124, and the destination of the transport data packet D is the first network 112, the packet dispatching device 214 will depend on the network device list. The second path transmission generated by 212 transmits the transport data packet C to the first network 112.

當封包調派裝置214遇到一個封包之傳送同時具有兩個以上之路徑,封包調派裝置214還可以依據網路壅塞狀況或訊號強度狀況來找出較佳之路徑。When the packet dispatching device 214 encounters the transmission of one packet and has more than two paths, the packet dispatching device 214 can also find a better path according to the network congestion condition or the signal strength status.
