Abstract
The present invention discloses a gateway and its method of transferring data, the gateway being connected to a network by a SIMM-node. In response to a request to establish multi-MAC address routing information of a SIMM-node, multiple MAC addresses corresponding to an IP address of the SIMM-node are obtained. The multi-MAC address routing information of the SIMM-node is established at least according to the obtained multiple MAC addresses corresponding to the IP address of the SIMM-node. In response to receiving a data message sent to the IP address of the SIMM-node, the data message is routed by using the established multi-MAC address routing information of the SIMM-node.
Claims17
A method of transferring data by a gateway, the gateway being connected to a network with a SIMM-node, the method comprising:
- in response to a request to establish multi-MAC address routing information of a SIMM-node:
- obtaining multiple MAC addresses corresponding to an IP address of the SIMM-node;
- and
- establishing the multi-MAC address routing information of the SIMM-node at least according to the obtained multiple MAC addresses corresponding to the IP address of the SIMM-node;
- and
- in response to having received a data message sent to the IP address of the SIMM-node, routing the data message by using the established multi-MAC address routing information of the SIMM-node.
A gateway, connected to a network with a SIMM-node, comprising:
- multi-MAC address routing information establishing logic of the SIMM-node, configured to in response to a need to establish multi-MAC address routing information of a SIMM-node, obtain multiple MAC addresses corresponding to an IP address of the SIMM-node and establish the multi-MAC address routing information of the SIMM-node at least according to the obtained multiple MAC addresses corresponding to the IP address of the SIMM-node;
- and
- routing logic of the SIMM-node, for receiving data configured to, in response to having received a data message sent to the IP address of the SIMM-node, route the data message by using the established multi-MAC address routing information of the SIMM-node.
