Abstract

See full text

A connection device connects a radio network and a cabled network communicating respectively by way of messages encapsulated according to radio and cable protocols, and includes a storage module containing a routing table, and a processing module for managing exchanges of data as a function of the routing table. The processing module includes a management module capable on the one hand of disencapsulating a message received from the radio network, in order to extract routing information therefrom and then to compare this information with the routing table in order to choose at least one re-sending network for the message, and on the other hand of re-encapsulating the message in the radio network format or according to a mixed radio format, having radio and cable capsules, depending on whether the re-sending network chosen is the radio network or the cabled network, with a view to re-sending it in the chosen re-sending network segment.
