System for acknowledging availability of neighbor node using data packet containing data that is ordinarily fowarded to neighbor node |
摘要 |
A novel acknowledgment mechanism efficiently requests affirmation from a neighboring node coupled to a communication link of a network that the neighbor is "alive" and connected to that link. The acknowledgment mechanism comprises control information generated by a source node and generally stored in a network layer header of a data packet transmitted to the neighbor. This next-hop acknowledgement (or lack thereof) from the neighbor provides a fast and efficient indication of (lost) system connection between adjacent nodes of a network.
