Abstract: For a flooded packet transmitted from a first base to a second base connected to a transport network, a first edge node in the transport network first sets path selection information for selecting a return path for transmitting a packet from the second base to the first base, and then transmits the packet to the second base via the path configured in advance. When receiving the flooded packet, a second edge node selects the return path on the basis of the path selection information from a plurality of path candidates configured in advance between the first base and the second base and learns the path in association with information indicating the transmission source.

Abstract: In a control system for an internal combustion engine which stops the rotation of an internal combustion engine by applying a counter torque thereto, the generation of noise or vibration accompanying the stop of rotation of the internal combustion engine is suppressed as much as possible. In the control system provided with a controller being adapted to stop the rotation of the internal combustion engine by carrying out forced stop processing in which the counter torque is inputted, in cases where the forced stop processing is carried out after the completion of the execution of specific motoring processing, the controller makes the counter torque at a certain timing before the counter torque becomes a predetermined torque after the start of the execution of the forced stop processing smaller than in the case where the forced stop processing is carried out without carrying out the specific motoring processing.

At this time, the air fuel ratio dither control is carried out, by setting at least a cylinder with the highest gas impingement intensity in a cylinder group of an internal combustion engine as the one or more lean cylinders.
