COMMUNICATION NETWORK MANAGEMENT DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DISTRIBUTING DATA IN VARIOUS BANDWIDTH

摘要

A communication network management apparatus and method for distributing data at multiple bandwidths are provided. The communication network management apparatus is connected to a local network, a router routing packet data generated in the local network to an external network and connected to a first data transmission path, and a second data transmission path for transmitting data at a different bandwidth from a bandwidth of the first data transmission path. The communication network management apparatus includes a packet analyzer, which intercepts packet data transmitted from the local network to the router and analyzes header information of the packet data; a distribution processor, which bypasses packet data to be transmitted through the first data transmission path and changes header information of packet data to be transmitted through the second data transmission path according to the result of the analysis; a first interface unit, which transmits packet data bypassed by the distribution processor to the router so that the packet data is transmitted through the first data transmission path; and a second interface unit, which is connected to the second data transmission path and transmits packet data whose header information is changed by the distribution processor to the second data transmission path.
