A method and apparatus for a router to inform a Layer 2 switch by use of packets of a new router group port management protocol (RGMP) that the layer 2 switch is to forward multicast packets of a specified group to the router. First the router transmits a RGMP HELLO packet to the layer 2 switch to inform the switch that the router is a multicast router implementing the invention. Then, in the event that the router receives an IGMP packet from an end station requesting multicast packets of a particular group, in response the router sends an RGMP JOIN packet to the layer 2 switch. The RGMP JOIN packet requests that the layer 2 switch forward only multicast group packets, of the group whose group number is written into a field of the RGMP JOIN packet, to the router. Also, the router sends a prior art PIM JOIN packet to other multicast routers in order to be placed on the multicast distribution tree for that group. The layer 2 switch builds a forwarding table for multicast groups listing ports connected to routers having sent a RGMP JOIN for that group. When a multicast group packet arrives at the layer 2 switch, the switch uses the forwarding table to forward the packet only to those routers requesting that group.

An improved method and apparatus for connecting various function modules located within a computer or communications system are proposed. In accordance with the principles of the present invention, a port manager controller (PMC) has a direct interface to each of the function modules and to a host component such as a system memory or a CPU. The PMC replaces both the local bus and the arbitrator of prior art systems. All the requests by function modules to access the host component are first processed by the PMC. The PMC schedules the incoming requests in accordance with predefined parameters, such as priority, efficiency, and / or timing. The PMC is capable of handling more than one request at a time. The PMC is also capable of dynamically adapting to load conditions and rearranging the incoming requests to efficiently utilize the available bandwidth. Thus, the PMC reduces latency and improves the performance of the computer or communications system. The PMC also eliminates the need for changes in bus architecture when new function modules are added or old function modules are removed and permits the reuse of old function modules. The PMC also reduces the need for internal buffers and thereby reduces manufacturing costs.

The invention aims at providing a server which manages address information for servers subordinate to a port-forwarding relay device (router) thus allowing an access from a wide area network. A representative server issues a request to assign a default port number to a router. The port management unit of the representative server registered to a default port number acquires the IP address of the router (wide area network address) and port mapping information (port number information on other equipment) from the router and retains the information acquired. In case it is determined that an access from the wide area network is first directed to a representative server, the representative server displays in a list the port number information on the accessing terminal in response to an access from the wide area network. This allows an external user to readily access desired equipment. The representative server periodically makes a port mapping information to the router and updates the information.

The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) chooses a root switch. Each of the other switches has a “root” port and one or more “designated ports(s)” chosen by STP. Packets are transmitted upstream toward the root switch through the root port, and packets designated for downstream switches from the root switch are received by the root port and transmitted through the designated ports. In the invention, an administrator of the core network identifies which switch ports in the core network are boundary ports to customer networks. The administrator designates the boundary ports as “root guard protected” ports (RG ports). The STP then executes as required by the ordinary STP protocol, and if a RG port is selected by the STP to be a root portm then the status of the port is set to “blocked,” and no packets are transmitted through the port.
