Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve high-speed data transfer in the internet environment. SOLUTION: Concerning the method for improving high-speed traffic operation by accelerating data/packet transfer between a transmission source host S and connected to a first token ring LAN N1 and a target host T inside subnet connected to a different token ring LAN N2 in the internet environment that uses the standardized protocol of so-called internet protocol(IP) collection, the high-speed traffic operation is improved for mutually connecting both the LAN through a router by dynamically setting a single virtual (bridged) LAN during traffic operation.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To dynamically set an optimal value regarding response delay without demanding a user of a parameter. SOLUTION: A root discovery frame is transmitted to all communication controllers 32, 34 and 36 from a station 32, a response frame is returned to the station 32 from each one of the communication controllers accompanied by a specific delay and, thus, a protocol for selecting a route defined by the first response frame that the station 32 receives is mounted, and the delay to be adapted to the response frame is dynamically defined at each point of time by using a logarithmic function of the number of present active stations.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a data transmission system which exchanges packetized data through an IP network as a medium between an arbitrary IP host in a cluster of IP hosts and a plurality of workstations. SOLUTION: Each IP host has at least an IP layer and a network layer. The IP host is connected to the IP network by a pair of routers 26 and 28 and a network dispather 34, through a layer-2 network 24 as the interface of the IP network 22. The network dispatcher 34 receives all incoming flows from workstations and dispatches them between host clusters. This system includes a monitor device including a means which is included in the host cluster and monitors at least the availability of the routers and a means which broadcasts availability information on the routers to individual hosts in the host cluster through the network dispatcher.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a data transmission system including an IP network where an IP host directly selects a default router so as to enhance load balance thereby enhancing the availability of the system. SOLUTION: In the data transmission system, packetized data from an IP host 10 having an least an IP layer 34 a network layer are transmitted to a plurality of work stations 12, 14 through a medium that is an IP network 16. The IP host is connected to the IP network via a layer 2 network 18 interfacing the IP network by a set of routers 20, 22, 24. The IP host has a multiple address resolution protocol(MARP) layer 36 between the IP layer and the network layer, and the MARP layer selects any of the routers in response to a succeeding hop IP address fed to the MARP layer with the IP layer when a data packet is transmitted to any of the work stations from the IP host.
Abstract:
The invention allows to prevent robots from browsing a Web site beyond a welcome page. When an initial request from an undefined originator is received Web site responds to it with a welcome page including a challenge. Then, on receiving a further request from the undefined originator Web site can check whether the challenge is fulfilled or not. If fulfilled the undefined originator is assumed to be a human being and authorized to go on. If challenge is not however fulfilled the undefined originator is assumed to be a robot in which case site access is further denied. The invention prevent Web site contents from being investigated by robots while not requiring users to have to log on.
Abstract:
Auto-adaptive method of load balancing in a data transmission system wherein one active station (32) amongst a plurality of stations requests the access to the resources of a host (10), the active station being connected to a connected-oriented network linked to host (10) by means of a plurality of communication controllers (12, 14, 16) identified by the station (32) with the address of host (10), the connected-oriented network implementing a protocol in which route discovery frames are sent from the station (32) to all the communication controllers (32, 34, 36) and response frames are sent back with a predefined delay from each one of the communication controllers to the station (32), whereby the station (32) selects the route defined by the first received response frame, this method being characterized in that the delay to apply to the response frame is at each moment dynamically defined by using a logarithmic function of the current number of active stations.
