Zusammenfassung:It is provided a relay apparatus, comprising: a plurality of ports coupled to a network; a Layer 2 processing module for relaying, via the network, a frame comprising a Layer 2 header and a Layer 2 data segment, the Layer 2 data segment comprising a Layer 3 header and a Layer 3 data segment; and an output unit, wherein the module updates a value of a particular field of the Layer 3 header, uses a first characteristic value related to the Layer 3 header, which is stored in a given field, and a pre-update value and post-update value of the particular field to compute a second characteristic value related to the Layer 3 header, and updates the value of the given field from the first characteristic value to the second characteristic value, and wherein the output unit outputs the updated frame as an output destination of the updated frame.
