METHOD FOR PROVIDING A NAME SERVICE WITHIN AN INDUSTRIAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND ROUTER

摘要

Router advertisements containing name information from superordinate subnetworks are received by routers associated with subordinate subnetworks. The router advertisements are supplemented with a topological and/or hierarchical name component associated with the respective router and are distributed inside the respective subordinate subnetwork. Communication terminals independently generate their device name from topological and/or hierarchical name components and a unique name component inside their respective subnetwork.
