摘要:
A control server selects part of nodes included in a first communication network, generates a second communication network from the selected nodes, determines a forwarding probability of a packet between a node and its next hop node in the second communication network to calculate a communication volume between at least one pair of nodes included in the second communication network with respect to a prescribed traffic using the determined forwarding probability, and calculates a link cost for at least one pair of nodes included in the second communication network based on the determined forwarding probability and the calculated communication volume, adds at least one node included in the first communication network to the second communication network so that the calculated link cost satisfies a prescribed condition, and puts nodes not included in the second communication network in a low power consumption mode.
摘要:
A path selection method includes: calculating an inter-node traffic forwarding probability from a parameter value relating to path selection; calculating a link cost when the parameter value is used by using the inter-node traffic forwarding probability and a communication amount; calculating a cost that a traffic flow experiences end-to-end by using the inter-node traffic forwarding probability and the link cost; and using an inter-node traffic forwarding probability with which the cost reaches a minimum value.
摘要:
A packet contains an array of processing operations that are to be performed by a node of a data forwarding network. Each node in a data forwarding network receiving performs the processing it has to the packet and perform in accordance with the array of the processing operations contained in the packet.
