METHOD OF TRANSMITTING ETHERNET FRAME IN NETWORK BRIDGE AND THE BRIDGE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of transmitting an Ethernet frame via a network bridge, the method comprising:
- receiving the Ethernet frame from a previous node;
verifying whether the Ethernet frame is a distance measurement frame for measuring a network distance between a sender and a receiver, by referring to a header of the Ethernet frame; and
forwarding the distance measurement frame with a top priority when the Ethernet frame is verified to be the distance measurement frame as a result of the verification.

Abstract
Provided is a method of transmitting an Ethernet frame via a network bridge, the method includes receiving a frame header from a previous node connected to the network bridge; receiving a header cyclic redundancy check (CRC) flag and header CRC with respect to the frame header from the previous node; determining whether to forward the Ethernet frame including the frame header by referring to the header CRC flag and the header CRC; and forwarding the Ethernet frame from the previous node to a next node connected to the network bridge according to the determination.
