Embodiment Construction

[0022] An object of the present invention is to enable automatic configuration of a communication router by analyzing the traffic received by the communication router.

[0023] As shown in a single figure, the communication router R has an Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) architecture comprising seven hierarchically related layers.

[0024] At the lowest level there are one or more physical layers 1, followed by data link layer(s) 2, followed by network layer(s) 3, and followed by other layers including transport layer 4, session layer 5, Presentation layer 6, and application layer 7 (this is the layer on the highest level). This architecture and the seven layers that make it up are known in the prior art and therefore will not be described here. It can be said that each physical layer 1 and each data link layer 2 are dependent on the technology of the network to which they are connected, whereas each network layer 3 is independent of network technology.

Abstract

A data processing system is disclosed for a communication router having a layered architecture comprising at least one physical layer connected by at least one connection to at least one communicationnetwork and placed immediately under at least one data link layer which is itself placed immediately under at least one network layer. The data processing system comprises processors in each data linklayer to analyze traffic data from each network reaching a physical layer via each of its connections and to determine configuration data for configuring the network layer concerned from the networkt raffic data. There is at least one application programming interface between the data link layer concerned and the network layer concerned, independent of each network technology and able to transfer the particular configuration data to the network layer concerned so that it is configured as a function of each network traffic.

Description

technical field [0001] This application is based on French patent application 0309507 filed on August 1, 2003, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. [0002] The present invention relates to communication networks, and in particular to configuring routers in such networks. technical background [0003] A router is a unit that makes up a network node, and in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, its architecture is divided into seven layers. The seven layers are hierarchical relationships, each layer uses information from the lower layer (lower level) and provides services to the upper layer (higher level). [0004] Starting with the lowest layer, the seven layers are commonly referred to as the physical layer (1), data link layer (2), network layer (3), transport layer (4), session layer (5), presentation layer (6), and application layer layer (7). [0005] Some routers, such as IP routers, for example, are connected to a num...
