Abstract

A method and apparatus are provided for creating a virtual hierarchical loca l 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 se t of network devices. The second frame format includes the fields of a frame i n the first frame format that is used to communicate between the first set of communication devices and the second set of communication devices.

Claims (26)

1. ~An apparatus associated with a network, the apparatus comprising, an input to receive a frame in a first format from a first node of the network, the first frame format identifying a first hierarchy in the network; and a framing mechanism to add another data link layer header to the frame in the first format to form a frame in a second format, the second frame format identifying a second hierarchy in the network.
2. ~The apparatus of Claim 1, further comprising an output to transmit the frame in the second format to a second node of the network.
3. ~The apparatus of Claim 1, further comprising a processor to control operation of the apparatus.
4. ~The apparatus of Claim 1, wherein the framing mechanism adds another trailer to the frame in the first format to form the frame in the second format.
5. ~The apparatus of Claim 1, wherein the frame in the first format includes a first field to hold an address specifying an address associated with a device in the network sending the frame in the first format.
6. ~The apparatus of Claim 1, wherein the frame in the first format includes a second field to hold an address specifying an address associated with a device in the network to receive the frame in the first format.
7. ~The apparatus of Claim 1, wherein the apparatus comprises a switch.
8. ~The apparatus of Claim 1, wherein the apparatus comprises a bridge.
9. ~In an electronic device associated with a network, a method comprising the steps of, taking action to receive a frame in a first frame format on an input of the electronic device, the first frame format identifying a first hierarchy of the network; and formatting the frame in the first frame format into a second frame format, the second frame format includes a header identifying a second hierarchy of the network.
10. ~The method of Claim 9, further comprising the step of forwarding the frame in the second format based on a destination address from the first frame format.
