Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of efficiently assigning addresses in a WPAN and a WPAN device. The address assignment method of the present invention is performed by a higher device. Address assignment information for determining an address to be assigned to a lower device, is managed. An address is assigned to a lower device that requests connection from the higher device based on the address assignment information. The address assignment information is updated to a address value as the address value is assigned, and the updated address assignment information is transmitted to lower devices. If an update of address assignment information is requested by the lower device that assigned an address value to a device lower thereto, the address assignment information is updated and the updated address assignment information is transmitted to lower devices.

Abstract: A point-to-multipoint traffic routing method that routes a multicast traffic through a determined tree on an MPLS network. A node on an MPLS network conducting a point-to-multipoint traffic routing method receives a message with an object including topology information on a determined tree, determines whether itself is a copy node or not based on the topology information, and copies, if determined to be a copy node, the received message to transmit to at least two nodes specified as next by the topology information. The present routing method ensures smooth operations of a copy and a merge node as well as an overall network.
