<p>A route bypassing a root node is constructed in a network in which a spanning tree is formed. A received frame is sent out on a designated port as well as on a root port by using a designated-port data send-out function, provided that a transmitting port for the received frame is learned on the root port. When a frame is received on a blocking port, a transmitting port for a frame whose destination matches the source address of the received frame is temporarily learned on the blocking port by using a blocking-port learning function, on the condition that the destination of the received frame is already learned on some other port. When a frame whose destination matches the temporarily learned address is received, the temporary learning is changed to normal learning by using a temporarily learned address-based data transfer function.</p> |
