The invention concerns a method for providing a connection between two domains (GSPR, LSPR) of contiguous hierarchy of a communication network comprising peers (SP1-SP13, NP1-NP4) by means of at least one dedicated peer (PP1, PP2) whereby said at least one dedicated peer (PP1, PP2) connects said two domains (GSPR, LSPR), controls the access or the traffic flow between said two domains (GSPR, LSPR), acts as a member of said both domains (GSPR, LSPR) and performs the same tasks that are performed by the peers that belong to said two domains (GSPR, LSPR), a dedicated peer, a program module and a communication network therefor.
A method for providing a connection between two domains of contiguous hierarchy of a communication network comprising peers, by means of at least one dedicated peer whereby said at least one dedicated peer connects said two domains, controls the access or the traffic flow between said two domains, acts as a member of said both domains and performs the same tasks that are performed by the peers that belong to said two domains.
A dedicated peer for providing a connection between two domains of contiguous hierarchy of a communication network comprising peers whereby said dedicated peer comprises means for connecting said two domains, for controlling the access or traffic flow between said two domains, for acting as a member of both domains and for performing the same tasks that can be performed by the peers that belong to said two domains.
A program module to be executed in a dedicated peer for providing a connection between two domains of contiguous hierarchy of a communication network comprising peers, whereby if the program module is activated, said dedicated peer connects said two domains, controls the access or traffic flow between said two domains, acts as a member of said both domains and performs the same tasks that can be performed by the peers that belong to said two domains.
A communication network comprising peers and at least one dedicated peer and that is subdivided into at least two domains, whereby said at least one dedicated peer connects two of said at least two domains of contiguous hierarchy of the communication network, controls the access or traffic flow between said two of said at least two domains, acts as a member of said two of said at least two domains and performs the same tasks that can be performed by the peers that belong to said two of said at least two domains.
