Embodiment Construction
[0027] Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.
[0028] The topology of a "network of resource-constrained devices" may be any mesh topology, such as Figure 4 As shown, the network topology contains closed loops (401, 402). However, in most cases, the "network of resource-constrained devices" has a tree topology, such as Figure 5 shown. If the "network composed of resource-limited devices" topology contains closed loops, a known method such as "spanning tree" (IEEE802.1d) can be used to form a tree topology without closed loops.
[0029] The present invention performs topology discovery and configuration management between devices only through link layer protocol message exchange. Among them, "source path backtracking" is used to discover topology, while "virtual management path" is used for configuration management. Both related query and response messages are link layer messages. If the physical link is Ethernet, the ...
