Abstract
Provided is a bridge system of a high-speed PLC network and Ethernet. The bridge system includes a QoS control unit for controlling a QoS process of an entire bridge system; a flow managing unit for storing and managing connection information on a flow, QoS information required by each flow, and information required for executing a bridge function; a bridge QoS processing unit for allocating and managing internal resources of the bridge system and providing the QoS by controlling the QoS control unit and making reference to information stored in the flow managing; a PLC QoS processing unit for managing the QoS of the PLC network by control of the QoS control unit; and an Ethernet QoS processing unit for managing a link state of the Ethernet and providing the link state to the QoS control unit.
