Estimating the term…
The invention relates to a method for operating a network as well as a network comprising at least one switch (400) and network infrastructure devices that are connected to said at least one switch (400) which is controlled by a control unit (700). According to the invention, a redundant unit (550) that is connected between the switch (400) and the control unit (700) analyzes the data stream between the switch (400) and the control unit (700), and data is inserted into and/or is removed from the data stream in accordance with the result of the analysis.
In a network comprising at least one switch with an interface to network infrastructure devices of the network, with a controller allocated to at least the one switch, the controller being connected to the switch for data exchange the improvement wherein a redundancy unit is connected between the controller and the switch.
A method of operating a network comprising at least one switch and network infrastructure devices that are connected to the switch, with the switch controlled by a controller wherein a redundancy unit connected between the switch and the controller analyzes the data stream between the switch and the controller, and data is inserted into the data stream or data is removed from the data stream depending on the result of the analysis.
