Bridging method and device

Abstract

Especially, being related to data communication area, the invention discloses equipment and method for bridge connection. Using protocol interface process module (PIPM) accomplishes conversion between protocol of data packet accorded with route forwarding module and protocol of local IP interface accorded with network equipment. Using route-forwarding module implements forwarding data packets each other between point-to-point access module and PIPM. Using point-to-point link implements interaction of point-to-point information between point-to-point access module and access server of point-to-point network.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a bridging method and device. Background technique [0002] At present, existing network devices (such as computers and routers) can support point-to-point access to varying degrees, but in most cases (such as in mobile communication networks), network devices need to use dedicated access devices when accessing point-to-point networks. To be done. [0003] At this time, a local area network (LAN) is usually formed by the network device and the access device through a local data interface based on the IP interface (such as an Ethernet interface or V.35, etc.). The schematic diagram of point-to-point access using the access device is shown in Figure 1 As shown, FIG. 1 shows the situation that two network devices complete network access through the access device and the access server respectively. [0004] In practical applications, there may be multiple network devices as shown ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

When the number of network devices is large, a large number of routing table entries need to be set on the access server, which seriously reduces the processing performance of the access server
