An access point receives a notification (or advertisement) from a device, which lacks a service. The access point adds the service to the notification, and forwards the notification to other devices on the network. Upon receiving from a control point a request to use the added service, the access point provides the service on behalf of the device.

A socket for transmitting torque from different types of wrenches to a fastener includes an elongated socket body. The body has a fastener engaging end with a plurality of internal fastener engaging surfaces defining an axially facing internal fastener engaging opening. The fastener engaging surfaces are configured to engage with the fastener. The body includes a drive end having an axially facing internal drive opening configured to receive a socket mounting portion from a socket driving type of wrench. The drive end of the socket body also has a series of external flat drive surfaces circumferentially separated by external surfaces having a smaller circumferential width. The flat surfaces are configured to be engaged by inwardly facing drive surfaces of an external driving type wrench. The socket body is tapered axially between the drive end and the fastener engaging end, with the drive end being wider than the fastener engaging end.

Methods and apparatus to provide a platform-level network security framework are described herein. In an example method, a packet associated with a processor system is identified. A platform-level network security protocol associated with an extensible firmware interface is identified. Based on the platform-level network security protocol, the packet is identified with a network security condition.

A method and apparatus establish an address of a frame as being associated with a physical device or a virtual device. If the frame is associated with a virtual device, the address of the frame may be established as being associated with a local virtual device or a remote virtual device. Establishing the nature and location of the device may provide routing by a virtual bridge.

The invention relates to a system and method to allow a remote client to remotely access a home server of a home or private network while preserving end-to-end security. A home server includes a service component. When a server application performs a network operation to start listening for a connection from a remote client, it is detected by the service component. The remote client is coupled through the Internet and through an Internet agent to a home gateway running a Network Address Translation (NAT) software program. The gateway connects to a forwarding agent. The forwarding agent is connected to the home server and provides the Internet agent with access parameters received from the home server. If the remote client provides proper access parameters to the Internet agent, the Internet agent provides the remote client access to services running on the home server.

Nodes on a wide area network (“WAN”) such as the Internet may communicate with multiple Internet Protocol Version 6 (“IPv6”) nodes on a private network despite the lack of domain name service (“DNS”) server support. The nodes on the private network may obtain router advertisements and utilize this information to generate IPv6 addresses (6-to-4 addresses). A detection process may detect these IPv6 addresses and create web pages including these addresses. When the nodes on the WAN attempt to reach the private nodes using an address of the gateway separating the WAN from the private network, the nodes may instead reach the web pages created by the detection process. These web pages may redirect the nodes to communicate with each of the private nodes using their respective IPv6 addresses.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for a dynamically extensible virtual switch. An apparatus or virtual switch includes at least one router and a data structure. The router utilizes the data structure to organize a connection between one or more virtual network interface cards (VNICs) to form a virtual network. The virtual switch also identifies a VNIC node of a data frame by its unique identifier, utilizes the unique identifier to index a collection of elements to retrieve a pointer to a virtual network head, and forwards the data frame to all VNIC nodes in a VNIC node listing associated with the virtual network head except for a VNIC node that relates to the unique identifier.

Methods and systems to dynamically configure computing apparatuses, such as desktop computers and portable computing devices, are disclosed. Embodiments generally comprise configuration systems that communicate with the computing apparatuses, retrieve hardware and/or software information from the apparatuses, and use the information to configure and/or load software onto the apparatuses. The computing apparatuses being configured may comprise desktop computers, computer workstations, or servers, as well as handheld and/or portable computing devices such as notebook or palm-held computers, cellular telephones, and portable media players. In many embodiments, the configuring systems compare information pertaining to installed hardware and software of the computing device, compare the information to software compatibility databases, select software and other configuration information based upon the comparison, and configure the computing apparatuses with the selected software and other configuration information.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for acquiring Internet real-time media channels in a private network. The method includes receiving a service advertisement from a media channel server. The media channel server acts as a gateway between one or more channel service providers and a plurality of rendering devices on a private network. A subscription identifier (ID) and a URI (Universal Resource Identifier) are sent to the media channel server to enable the media channel server to request Internet channel information from one or more channel service providers. If the subscription identifier (ID) is validated by the one or more channel service providers, the Internet channel information is provided from the one or more channel service providers via the media channel server. The Internet channel information is provided to a user for enabling the user to browse the Internet channel information and request media content found on at least one Internet channel to be rendered on at least one of the plurality of rendering devices.
