- the communication node 243 transfers the packet to the external node 315 based on the control information set from the control device 11 (step S3-7).
- the broadcast packet from the external node 310 reaches the external nodes 311 to 314 and 316 to 318 in the same manner.
- FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the configuration of the communication system of the present embodiment.
- the major difference from the first embodiment is that instead of the core domain 20 and subdomains 21 and 22 of the first embodiment, domains 26 to 28 are provided and connected in a ring shape. is there. Communication nodes 260 to 267 belong to the domain 26, communication nodes 270 to 273 belong to the domain 27, and communication nodes 280 to 283 belong to the domain 28.
- FIG. 13 is a block diagram showing a detailed configuration of the control device 12 according to the third embodiment of the present invention.
- the control device 12 includes a communication node communication unit 1200 that performs control communication with a communication node, and a topology information acquisition unit 1201 that acquires topology information between the communication nodes 260 to 283 from the communication node communication unit 1200.
- a topology information management unit 1202 that stores the topology information, a domain information input unit 1203 that receives input of domain configuration information, and a domain information storage unit 1204 that accumulates domain configuration information input by the domain information input unit 1203
- the inter-domain BC route search unit 1205 searches for a broadcast route between domains and notifies the unicast route search unit 1206 and the BC route search unit 1208, and the unicast route search searches for a unicast route.
- Unit 1206 and unicast route search unit 1206 A unicast path control command generation unit 1207 that generates control information to be set in the communication nodes 260 to 283 from the determined path and transmits a control information setting command from the communication node communication unit 1200, and broadcast (hereinafter referred to as “BC”).
- the BC route search unit 1208 for searching for a route for use, and the control information to be set in the communication nodes 260 to 283 are generated from the route searched by the BC route search unit 1208, and the control information from the communication node communication unit 1200 is generated.
- the configuration of the control device 12 is the same except that the domain control information generation unit 1005 of the control device 10 of the first embodiment is replaced with an inter-domain BC route search unit (corresponding to an inter-domain route calculation unit) 1205.
- the difference will be mainly described.
- the inter-domain BC route search unit 1205 performs a search process for the inter-domain BC route from the topology information stored in the topology information management unit 1202 in the inter-domain BC route search. More specifically, the inter-domain BC route search unit 1205 regards the domain as a logical communication node as shown in FIG. 14 and moves from one domain to all other domains connected to at least an external node. A spanning tree path that can be distributed is calculated. One or a plurality of spanning tree paths may be calculated in the domain. When using a plurality of routes, different global routes may be calculated for each domain connected to an external node. As a route calculation method, it is possible to use a minimum spanning tree (a prim method or a Kruskal method is representative). In this calculation, if a domain is not connected to an external node and is at the end, it is repeatedly excluded to exclude domains that do not exist between domains connected to external nodes. Also good.
- a minimum spanning tree a prim method or a Kruskal method is representative
- the port selected as the spanning tree path calculated between the domains is selected as the inter-domain GW port.
- the inter-domain GW port permits transmission of broadcast packets between domains, and does not permit transmission of broadcast packets to ports connected between domains other than inter-domain GW ports. As a result, even when a domain is connected to a plurality of domains, it is possible to prevent a broadcast packet from wrapping around to its own domain and a plurality of broadcast packets from being output to ports connecting between domains.
- External node 320 transmits the broadcast packet to communication node 260 (step S4-1). Based on the control information set by the control device 12, the communication node 260 transfers the packet to the next communication node 264 on the broadcast path (step S4-2).
- the communication node 264 forwards the packet to the next communication node 270 on the broadcast path based on the control information set by the control device 12 (step S4-3).
- the communication node 270 transfers the packet to the next communication node 271 on the broadcast path based on the control information set by the control device 12 (step S4-4).
- the communication node 271 transfers the packet to the next communication node 273 on the broadcast route based on the control information set by the control device 12 (step S4-5).
- the communication node 273 transfers the packet to the next communication node 282 on the broadcast path based on the control information set by the control device 12 (step S4-6).
- the communication node 282 transfers the packet to the external node 326 based on the control information set from the control device 12 (step S4-7). Although omitted in FIG. 16, the broadcast packets from the external node 320 reach the external nodes 321 to 325 and 327 to 328 in the same manner.
- a failure that occurs in one domain does not affect the path of another domain.
- a communication node having a port elected as an inter-domain GW port fails, the route needs to be recalculated in the domain facing the inter-domain GW port, but other domains are affected. Absent. For example, even if a failure occurs in the inter-domain GW port between the domain 26 and the domain 27 in FIG. 14 (for example, the left link in FIG. 14), the redundant inter-domain GW port (for example, the right side in FIG. 14) Broadcast link can be reconstructed. At this time, the path calculated in the domain 28 can be used.
- the said domain is a control apparatus containing the lower domain comprised by the switch arrange
- a domain information input unit that receives input of configuration information of the domain;
- a control apparatus comprising: a domain information storage unit that stores configuration information of a domain that has received the input.
- a control device that instructs the communication node having the representative port to rewrite the VLAN ID.
- a control device that executes reselection of the representative port and recalculation of a broadcast packet transfer path of a domain in which a change has occurred in the representative port when a failure occurs in the broadcast packet transfer path for each domain.
- a control apparatus comprising: an inter-domain route calculation unit that calculates a transfer route of a broadcast packet for each domain and selects a port between domains on the transfer route of the broadcast packet for each domain as the representative port.
