heterogeneity
problem
Heterogeneous
networking
Connecting
to
different
types
of
networks
:
It should be
clear
that the
forwarding method
will
also
work on
different
types
of
physical
network
Example:
Suppose
node
A
wants to
send
a
message
to
D
:
Node
A
will transmit the
follow
IP packet
:
The
IP packet
will be
transmitted
with an
Ethernet frame
to the
router
:
The
IP packet
will be
forwarded
to
D
using a
Token bus frame
