Embodiment Construction

[0034] figure 1 A network architecture suitable for applying the present invention is schematically shown. A network 10 is shown in the Internet. The network can also be a separate and covert network. A network can belong to one operator, or to a group of operators in a joint venture. The network has a single network operation and management (O&M) service. Network 10 includes four nodes. In the remainder of the description, the nodes will be referred to as servers 12 . A server is a network entity for accommodating 0-N switching / routing units and 0-N processing units. figure 1 Among them, the server 12 includes a switching unit 20 and L processing units 14 . Switching unit 20 is a computer networking device within a server that is associated with a network segment or network device. A switching / routing unit receives messages from any device connected to it, and then sends messages only to the device for which the message is intended. The switching unit 20 connects the ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of handling a protocol address (IP_x) in a network (10). The network comprises a number of K servers (12). A server is uniquely identified in the network by a server identifier (Sid_x). A server houses a maximum number of L units (14). A unit comprises one hardware address (MACx) to connect to the network and a unit identifier (Eid_x) which uniquely identifies the unit in the server. A unit hosts a maximum number of M hosts (16). Each host on a unit comprises a local host identifier (Hid_x) uniquely identifying the host on the unit. A unit (14) generates a protocol address (IP_x) for a host on the unit based on the local host identifier (Hid_x) of the host, the unit identifier (Eid_x) of the unit and the server identifier (Sid_x) associated with the unit and assigns the protocol address to the host (16).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of network technology, and in particular to a method and device for processing protocol addresses in the network. Background technique [0002] Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a very important part of Internet Protocol (IP) networking. ARP is an OSI layer 2 (data link) protocol for mapping Media Access Control (MAC) addresses to IP addresses. All hosts on a LAN or private network are located by their IP addresses. ARP is a protocol for associating IP addresses with MAC addresses. [0003] Before a host can communicate with any other host on the network, the host must have that other host's MAC address. In a TCP / IP network, knowing the IP address, an interface can be queried for the MAC address using Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) for Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) or Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) for IPv6. Therefore, the host sends out (broadcasts) ARP packets. The ARP packet contains simp...
