随着互联网用户数量的增加，网络设备需要实现节能。为此，作者提出了一种基于目的IP地址的千兆以太网链路速率切换方法，适用于小型办公室或家庭中的典型网络。然而，该方法的问题在于，当切换链路速率时，通信被中断几秒钟。针对这一问题，提出了一种通信链路切换方法。在此方法中，假设客户端通过多个网络接口（如千兆以太网和无线LAN）连接到用户的子网。当用户开始通信时，该方法根据目的IP地址选择其中一个接口。通信实验表明，该方法与以前的方法相比，降低了功耗，避免了任何通信中断时间。
As the number of Internet users increases, network devices are required to achieve power savings. For this purpose, the authors proposed a Gigabit Ethernet link rate switching method based on the destination IP address for typical networks in small offices or at home. However, this method has a problem in that the communication is interrupted for a few seconds when the link rate is switched. To solve the problem, this paper proposes a communication link switching method. In this method, a client is assumed to connect via multiple network interfaces such as Gigabit Ethernet and a wireless LAN to the user's subnet. When a user starts communicating, the method selects one of the interfaces based on the destination IP address. The communication experiments demonstrate that the proposed method has improved power consumption and avoided any communication interruption time compared to our previous method.
