<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve an IP network system by which a packet can reliably arrive even when failures occur in one of its routes. <P>SOLUTION: The IP network system establishes packet communication between hosts through a ring network which is composed of several relay apparatuses. In this case, the relay apparatuses transfer received packets to destination hosts respectively through clockwise and counterclockwise routes of the ring network according to the transfer direction information which is included in the received packets. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
