Abstract
Provided in the EoE technique are the node, the network, the correspondence relationship generating method and the frame transfer program to avoid traffic concentration on a specific link to improve throughput of the network as a whole by realizing optimum path transfer. The frame switching unit includes the frame analysis unit for analyzing an input frame kind and the like, the table search unit for obtaining frame rewriting information and output port information, the forwarding table storage unit for managing an output port of a frame, the MAC learning unit for executing MAC address learning, the EoE-MAC learning unit for learning a relationship between a MAC address and an EoE-MAC address, the STP control unit for executing processing of a spanning tree, and the like.
