Abstract

Un système de communication est fourni dans lequel les relations des connexions entre les dispositifs de communication inclus dans un réseau de communication tel qu'un réseau local (LAN) commandés par un routeur peuvent être déterminées à moindre coût et sans imposer une charge excessive sur ces dispositifs de communication. Lorsqu'un concentrateur de commutation a reçu depuis un port de sens descendant un paquet ARP (protocole de résolution d'adresse) adressé à un routeur et demandant que le LAN soit connecté à un réseau IP, le concentrateur de commutation ajoute des informations d'étiquette indiquant le port au paquet ARP et achemine le paquet. En outre, lorsque le routeur a reçu un paquet ARP adressé à un dispositif géré par le routeur, il génère, à partir des informations d'étiquette annexées au paquet ARP, des informations indiquant les relations des connexions entre le terminal de communication qui a transmis le paquet ARP et les concentrateurs de commutation qui ont acheminé le paquet, et stocke les informations générées.
