Router Network Layer Overview

The CEBus-EIB Router Network Layer is conceptually divided into several elements, each performing distinct, well-defined services. Each element may be thought of as an independent process that communicates with the other elements and protocol layers through specified interfaces. Figure 1-1 illustrates these elements and associated communications interfaces. This document defines the inter-element interfaces and the operation of each element. Another part of this standard, Part 1: Description of the CEBUS-EIB Router, provides an overview of router operation, and should be read first.
