<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce traffic on a network reducing various address resolution servers having been used for a LANE(LAN emulation) and an MPOA(multi- protocol over asynchronous transfer mode ATM). SOLUTION: In the case of setting an ATM-switched virtual circuit SVC connection, an address conversion server is not needed in a network and communication is conducted not via the address conversion server. In the case of receiving an Internet protocol IP packet from terminals 11a, 19a, the IP address is converted into an IP compatible ATM address and an ATM cell is transmitted to an ATM network 15. In the case of receiving the ATM cell from the ATM network 15, the ATM address is converted into the IP address, and the IP packet is transmitted to the terminals 11a, 19a.</p> |
