Abstract: If the communication partner of a client node (A1a) is an encryption communication target node (C1), a DNS Proxy unit (A12a) in the client node rewrites a response to a name resolution request for the communication partner node of an application from the actual IP address of the communication partner node to a loopback address that changes depending on the communication partner. On the basis of the destination loopback address of a data packet transmitted from the application, a communication encryption module (A13a) in the client node identifies the communication partner and the encryption communication path to be used for communication with the communication partner. Hence, encryption communication can simultaneously be executed directly with a plurality of communication partner nodes by using the communication encryption module that operates as an independent process.

Abstract: The packet relay device includes a clock generation portion adapted to generate a clock signal of prescribed frequency as a standard for operation of the packet relay device; a timer portion adapted to count up a timer value over a first number of clock cycles on the basis of the clock signal; a relay control portion adapted relay received packets while limiting to a prescribed amount of packets the amount of packets forwardable per a predetermined increment of the timer value; and a power control portion adapted to reduce the frequency of the clock signal to 1/n in order to reduce power consumption by the packet relay device. If the frequency of the clock signal has been reduced to 1/n by the power control portion, the timer portion counts up the timer value over a number of clock cycles equivalent to 1/n the aforementioned number of clock cycles.

Abstract: In a packet relay apparatus or bandwidth policing apparatus, when the bandwidth of a flow having a function to respond to a congestion notification surpasses a first threshold, a congestion notification is given to rewrite a value representing the congestion state of the network out of the packet headers of the packet received by the apparatus. The packet is dropped if the bandwidth of the flow surpasses a second threshold higher than the first threshold. One of the following, including packet drop, rewriting the value representing the priority level in the network out of the packet headers and altering the priority level in the apparatus is imposed on the packet when the bandwidth of the flows surpasses a second threshold higher than the first threshold.
