Abstract: A system for interconnecting widely separated local area networks (LANs) (11,12) by means of a wide area network (WAN) (10) utilizes network level facilities to establish a connection through the wide area network and to create connection table entries at the WAN access point (13,14) which allow subsequent data frames to be transmitted through the wide area network without such network level operations. More particularly, the various LANs are combined into search groups, represented by address prefixes, to which LAN-initiated connection requests can be broadcast and which can respond so as to establish the data path connections. This system has the connection flexibility of a prior art router and, at the same time, the low overhead of a prior art bridge.

Abstract: The process for determining the best communication route from a source end station to a destination end station is distributed over both source and destination network nodes. Network nodes, at the interface between a wide area network (WAN) and each subnetwork, contain access agents to control the communication flow between the wide area network and an end station in the subnetwork. The task of selecting the best route between two end stations is distributed between the access agents at the WAN interface in the first subnetwork, and the access agents at the WAN interface in the second subnetwork. Each access agent at one WAN interface obtains the best route from itself to the end station in its subnetwork. Each access agent at the other WAN interface finds the best route from each access agent at the first WAN interface through itself to the end station in its subnetwork. One designated access agent collects all the best route information. This best route information is concatenated, and the route with the least weight is selected as the best route between end stations.
