<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method that conducts proper configuration processing at a topological changes, even when the topology of a network is changed during a system operation. SOLUTION: Increase/decrease in number of devices connected to the network by the reception of a self ID packet in succession to the observation of a bus reset in an IEEE 1394 network (a serial bus is used for the physical layer/data link layer) environment. In Figures 3 (a) and 3 (b), the increase in number of the devices is observed, and the system configuration processing is conducted where a client 2 receives a service provided by a server 1 through communication by a prescribed protocol. In Figures 3 (b) and 3 (c), the decrease in number of the devices is observed, and the system configuration processing is conducted to confirm whether the client 2 can receive the service provided by the server 1.</p> |
