CA 2493383

A method and apparatus are provided for creating a virtual hierarchical local area network. A hierarchical framing technique allows a network architecture to realize a local area network hierarchy within the network. In this manner, a first local area network hierarchy is defined by communication in a first frame format (24) between a first set of network devices and a second set of network devices. A second local area network hierarchy is defined by communication in a second frame format (48) between members of the second set of network devices. The second frame format includes the fields of a frame in the first frame format that is used to communicate between the first set of communication devices and the second set of communication devices.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil pour créer un réseau local hiérarchique. Une technique de verrouillage de trame hiérarchique permet la réalisation d'une hiérarchie de réseau local à l'intérieur du réseau local. De cette manière, une première hiérarchie de réseau local est définie par la communication dans un premier format (24) de trame entre un premier ensemble de dispositifs de réseau et un second ensemble de dispositifs de réseau. Une seconde hiérarchie de réseau local est définie par la communication dans un second format (48) entre des éléments du second ensemble de dispositifs de réseau. Le second format de trame comprend les champs d'une trame dans le premier format de trame qui est utilisé pour communiquer entre le premier ensemble de dispositifs de communication et le second ensemble de dispositifs de communication.
