International ClassesH04L012/28H04L011/20 AbstractIn a data packet transfer network in which a communication data is transmitted by dividing the communication data to a plurality of data packets, each of a plurality of packet transfer nodes included in the data packet transfer network comprises at least a data packet comparison circuit for comparing sequential numbers of received data packets with sequential numbers of data packets received in the past and a data packet copy circuit for copying the data packets in the order of the sequential numbers thereof and transferring the data packets to a next packet transfer node in the order of the sequential numbers. Data loss is reduced even when there is a time delay until the data is received by a destination node, so that the data is transmitted reliably.Field of SearchSequencing or resequencing of packets to insure proper output sequence orderProcessing of address header for routing, per se Control of data admission to the network Transmission of a single message having multiple packets Assembly or disassembly of messages having address headers Store and forward STORAGE ACCESSING AND CONTROL COMPUTER-TO-COMPUTER DATA ROUTING Computer-to-computer data transfer regulating | |
