Provided is a communication adapter switching method and apparatus in a system having a plurality of communication adapters. The method includes: setting the addresses of the plurality of communication adapters equal to the address of the first of the plurality of communication adapters; setting a packet filtering mode of the communication adapters other than the first communication adapter to a mode in which all packets are accepted; and switching from one of the communication adapters to another when the one communication adapter is disconnected during communication. Accordingly, seamless handoff from the wired LAN to the wireless LAN is possible, since the TCP/IP session is maintained with the same IP address.

A handover method in a wireless local area network (WLAN) environment, a mobile node device that carries out a handover in a WLAN environment, and a beacon signal structure are provided. The handover method involves receiving a beacon signal containing access router identification information; and carrying out a handover based on the access router identification information contained in the beacon signal. The mobile node device includes a beacon signal reception unit for receiving a beacon signal containing access router identified information, a determination unit for comparing access router identification information from the beacon signal with that of a previous access router and a handover performing unit for carrying out a handover based on a result of the determination from the determination unit. The beacon signal structure, which is used for carrying out a handover in a WLAN environment, includes a reserved field into which access router identification information is inserted.

An apparatus and a method for permitting access to storage means are provided in which a host is permitted to easily access a storage means or a plurality of storage means connected to a USB device through a separate interface, as well as an internal flash memory. The apparatus comprises a storage means checking unit to check whether a peripheral is a storage means by referencing received information regarding the peripheral; a virtual storage means generating unit to generate a virtual storage means for the storage means when the checked peripheral is a storage means; a binding unit to bind the storage means and the generated virtual storage means; and a directory generating unit to generate a directory for the bound virtual storage means.

A multi-home agent control apparatus and method are provided. The multi-home agent control apparatus includes a packet observing unit, which observes a packet input to or output from a home link; a home agent list storage unit, which creates a home agent list using home address information included in a binding update (BU) message and stores the home agent list if the packet observing unit receives the BU message and a binding acknowledgement (BACK) message; and a preference value calculation unit, which calculates a preference value of each of the home agents using the home agent list.

A method for more efficiently operating a network, and more particularly, for discovery of a path maximum transmission unit (PMTU) between nodes on an IP network, is provided. The method includes (a) comparing the size of a received packet with a maximum transmission unit (MTU) of a next link; and (b) if the size of the received packet is greater than the MTU of the next link, generating an error message, transmitting the generated error message to a source node, generating a test message of the size of the MTU of the next link, and transmitting the generated test message to a destination node. According to the PMTU discovery method, a PMTU can be determined in a shorter time, and it is possible to minimize the use of network resources.

A home agent management apparatus and method for routing a packet using a home network equipment as a home agent in a mobile Inter Protocol version 6 (IPv6) are provided. The home agent management apparatus includes a packet analyzer, which receives a packet and analyzes the packet; a database, which stores information indicating whether a home agent of a home network operates normally according to the result of the analysis; and a home agent function executor, which performs a home agent function in place of the home agent when the home agent does not operate normally. Accordingly, a load concentrated on a home agent of an Internet Service Provider (ISP) can be split.
摘要:
A method of advertising an address of a domain name service (DNS) server present, for example, on an IPv6 network by searching a location of the DNS server on a router network subnet using a dynamic routing protocol, storing link state information of the router indicating the DNS server existence in the router subnet, in a link state advertisement of the router, and delivering the link state advertisement to all routers within an autonomous system, to which the router belongs. When the router having the location of the DNS server is requested by another router to provide the DNS server address, the router replies to the requesting router, and the requesting router receiving the reply, advertises a router advertisement message containing the DNS server address to a subnet to which the requesting router belongs. Accordingly, a network can be set without manually setting DNS server addresses at hosts.

An apparatus and method for enabling communications between heterogeneous terminals are provided. A method for establishing an ad-hoc network includes: accessing a first terminal, on which a first protocol stack is installed; accessing a second terminal, on which a second protocol stack is installed; receiving a data packet, formatted for the first protocol stack, from the first terminal; converting the format of the data packet to the format of the second protocol stack; and transmitting the converted data packet to the second terminal. The apparatus and method enable a plurality of heterogeneous terminals, conventionally unable to communicate directly with each other, to form an ad-hoc network in which they can freely communicate with each other.

A remote control apparatus, method, and medium for enabling a server to control a plurality of clients located in remote areas is provided. The method includes: switching an environment of a server by loading display information stored in one of a plurality of backup buffers in a display processing module of the server; and transmitting the display information to one of the plurality of clients if there is a request for the display information issued by the one of the plurality of clients. Accordingly, it is possible to enable the plurality of clients to be simultaneously served by the server, regardless of which types of remote control protocols and which types of OSs the plurality of clients use, by repeatedly performing interrupt service routines for backing up display information of the plurality of clients to the respective backup buffers or loading the display information of the plurality of clients into the server.
