Network simulation system and method
First Claim
1. A method for communication within a network, said method comprising the steps of:
- transmitting a data packet as a broadcast signal from a first application node of a first subnetwork to a first gateway node of the first subnetwork;
transmitting the data packet as a point-to-point signal from the first gateway node to a second gateway node of a second subnetwork; and
transmitting the data packet as a broadcast signal from the second gateway node of the second subnetwork to at least one application node of the second subnetwork.

Abstract
A method allows communication within a network. The method includes the steps of: transmitting data packet as a broadcast signal (107) from a first application node (105) of a first subnetwork (101) to a first gateway node (103) of the first subnetwork (101); transmitting the data packet as a point-to-point signal (108) from the first gateway node (103) to a second gateway node (104) of a second subnetwork (102); and transmitting the data packet as a broadcast signal (109) from the second gateway node (104) of the second subnetwork (102) to at least one application node (106) of the second subnetwork (102).

18. A computer program product for communicating within a network, said product comprising:
-
a first subnetwork having a first application node and a first gateway node; and
a second subnetwork having a second application node and a second gateway node, said first application node transmitting a data packet as a broadcast signal to said first gateway node of said first subnetwork;
said first gateway node transmitting said data packet as a point-to-point signal from said first gateway node to said second gateway node of said second subnetwork, said second gateway node transmitting said data packet as a broadcast signal from said second gateway node of said second subnetwork to said second application node of said second subnetwork.
