Apparatus and method for processing path management packet

摘要

An apparatus and method for processing a path management packet is provided, the method including determining whether a router for processing a received path management packet is a storing node, and when the router is determined to be a storing node, controlling the path management packet to be stored in a routing table, or when the router is determined to be a non-storing node, failing to store the path management packet in the routing table and controlling the path management packet to be transmitted to a subsequent node.

主权项

1. An apparatus for processing a path management packet, the apparatus comprising:
a reception unit configured to receive a path management packet; a determination unit configured to determine whether a router for processing the path management packet is a storing node or a non-storing node; a control unit configured to
control to store the path management packet in a routing table before transmitting the path management packet to a subsequent node when the router is determined to be a storing node,control to transmit the path management packet to the subsequent node without storing the path management packet in a routing table, when the router is determined to be a non-storing node, andadd a routing header to the path management packet when the routing header is determined to be required, and control the path management packet to which the routing header is added for transmission to the subsequent node; and a transmission unit configured to transmit the path management packet to the subsequent node.
