NETWORK DEVICE AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

If destination information on a packet is not present in a routing table, a network device broadcasts, to adjacent nodes, a path request packet in which destination information on a packet is set. When the network device receives a path response packet associated with the path request packet from another node, the network device sends the packet after setting a send source node of the path response packet to the transfer destination. Furthermore, if the network device does not receive the path response packet, the network device sends, by using flooding, a packet in which the destination information on the packet is set.

主权项

1. A network device comprising:
a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor executes a process comprising: broadcasting a path request packet in which a destination information on a first packet is set, to adjacent nodes, when the destination information on the first packet is not present in a routing table that is stored in the memory and in which destination information on other nodes included in an ad hoc network is set; sending a second packet by setting a send source node of a path response packet to the transfer destination of the second packet, when the path response packet associated with the path request packet is received from one of the other nodes; and flooding a third packet in which the destination information on the first packet is set, when the path response packet is not received.
