<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide network units which are easily managed even in the case of automatic tunnels, for exchanging protocol data units through tunnels. <P>SOLUTION: Network units 1, 2, 3 for exchanging protocol data units through tunnels 7, 8, 9 comprise detectors 11, 21, 31 for detecting indications in protocol data units, associators 12, 22, 32 for associating tunnels to the indications, and managers 13, 23, 33 for managing the tunnels 7, 8, 9. By providing the associators 12, 22, 32 with retrievers 41, 61 for retrieving information defining known tunnels and with generators 42, 62 for generating information defining new tunnels and by feeding back the manager 13, 23, 33 to the associator 12, 22, 32, the associator 12, 22, 32 is controlled by the management results. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
