Abstract
A method for transmitting information included in a received packet to an upper layer of a node, including: judging whether or not a first packet satisfies a first condition, storing information which is information in the first packet and used as a part of or all of a second condition when the first packet is judged to satisfy the first condition, judging whether or not a second packet satisfies the second condition when the first packet is judged not to satisfy the first condition, and enabling information in the second packet to be transmitted to the upper layer of a node when the second packet is judged to satisfy the second condition.
Claims18
A method for receiving a first packet and a second packet, and transmitting to an upper layer of a node information included in the second packet, comprising:
- judging whether a first packet satisfies a first condition;
- storing information contained in the first packet and used as at least a part of a second condition when the first packet is judged to satisfy the first condition;
- judging whether a second packet satisfies the second condition when the first packet fails to satisfy the first condition;
- and
- enabling information in the second packet to be transmitted to the upper layer when the second packet is judged to satisfy the second condition.
A method for transmitting information to an upper layer from a packet, comprising:
- storing a first destination ID and a first destination offset in advance;
- judging whether a second destination ID of the packet coincides with the first destination ID, whether a second destination offset of the packet coincides with the first destination offset and whether a transaction code of the packet coincides with a write request transaction code;
- and
- enabling the information included in the packet to be transmitted to the upper layer when it is judged that the second destination ID coincides with the first destination ID, that the second destination offset coincides with the first destination offset and that the transaction code coincides with the write request transaction code.
An apparatus for transmitting information included in a packet to an upper layer of a node, comprising:
- an extraction unit configured to extract from first and second packets at least a part of the information included in the packets;
- a storage unit configured to store the information necessary to judge whether a first condition is satisfied and the information necessary to judge whether a second condition is satisfied;
- a judgment unit confiugred to judge whether the first packet satisfies the first condition and whether the second packet satisfies the second condition;
- and
- a control unit configured to allow the extraction unit to extract from the first packet the information necessary to judge whether the first condition is satisfied, to allow the judgment unit to judge whether the first packet satisfies the first condition, to permit the storage unit to store the information, included in the first packet and used as at least a part of the second condition, when the first packet satisfies the first condition, to permit the extraction unit to extract from the second packet the information necessary to judge whether the second condition is satisfied when the first packet fails to satisfy the first condition, to permit the judgment unit to judge whether the second packet satisfies the second condition and to enable at least a part of the information included in the second packet to be transmitted to the upper layer of a node when the second packet satisfies the second condition.
An apparatus for transmitting information included in a packet to an upper layer of a node, comprising:
- an extraction unit configured to extract at least a part of the information included in the packet from a received packet;
- a storage unit configured to store information necessary to judge whether the packet satisfies an upper layer informing condition;
- a judgment unit configured to judge whether the packet satisfies the upper layer informing condition;
- and
- a control unit configured to permit the extraction unit to extract from the packet the information necessary to judge whether the upper layer informing condition is satisfied, to permit the judgment unit to judge whether the packet satisfies the upper layer informing condition and to enable at least a part of the information included in the packet to be transmitted to the upper layer of a node when the packet satisfies the upper layer informing condition.
