<p>In a bridge unit for connecting branch LANs through a trunk LAN, of address information registered in an address translation table, address information associated with a station not subjected to message transmission or reception for a predetermined period of time is recognized as address information to be deleted from the address translation table. After this recognization, when a message is to be transmitted to a destination station represented by the station address included in the address information to be deleted, message transmission is performed by using the address information to be deleted. When a response message is not received from the destination station, the address information to be deleted is deleted from the address translation table, and the message is retransmitted by broadcast. <IMAGE></p> |
