Abstract
A packet repeater is connected between an IEEE-1394 host terminal and a PPP server. The host terminal transmits a PPP packet containing the physical address of an IEEE-1394 device. During a discovery stage of a PPP connection, the packet repeater receives a PPP packet from the terminal, copies the physical address contained in the packet to an entry of a management table, and successively receives packets from the server and copies the physical address of the server and a session identifier respectively contained in the packets to that entry of the table. During a session stage of the connection, the packet repeater receives a PPP packet either from the terminal or the server and determines the destination of the packet according to the physical address of one of the terminal and the server which is set in the table corresponding to a session identifier of the packet.
