    摘要: An intelligent network interface monitors activity states of a client and reports them to a network manager using a single network connection. The network interface monitors interrupts occurring on the client, derives activity states from the interrupts, and logs the activity states on the network interface. An activity state specifies whether the client is in a hung state, but may also specify whether the client is off, sleeping, inactive, or active. The network interface may periodically report the activity states to the network manager or report upon receiving a command. The network interface is preferably powered full time using a trickle power supply and therefore operates even when the remainder of the client is off. By including a processor or specialized logic on the network interface, the interface operates independently of the client operating system and therefore monitors and reports even when the client malfunctions.

    摘要翻译: 智能网络接口监视客户端的活动状态,并使用单个网络连接将其报告给网络管理员。 网络接口监视客户端发生的中断,从中断导出活动状态,并记录网络接口上的活动状态。 活动状态指定客户端是否处于挂起状态,但也可以指定客户端是否处于关闭,睡眠,不活动或活动状态。 网络接口可以在接收到命令时定期向网络管理器报告活动状态或报告。 网络接口优选地使用涓流电源全时供电,因此即使当客户端的其余部分关闭时也是这样。 通过在网络接口上包含处理器或专用逻辑,接口独立于客户端操作系统运行,因此即使客户端发生故障也能监视和报告。
