  • Patent number: 8521884
    Abstract: A network system and a method of address resolution are provided. The network system includes a network, a plurality of virtual machines, a routing module and a path directory module. Each virtual machine includes an internet protocol (IP) address and N media access control (MAC) addresses, so as to connect the network through N transmission routes. The routing module detects and calculates states of the transmission routes. The path directory module receives and decodes an address resolution protocol (ARP) request presented by at least one source virtual machine to reply path information, which includes N MAC addresses corresponding to an IP address of a destination virtual machine and states of the N transmission routes. Thus, the virtual machines present the ARP request without broadcast, so that the problem of network congestion is solved.

  • Publication number: 20120238316
    Abstract: A mobile phone includes two different communication systems and a current table storing relationship between signal transmission power and current in relation to the two different communication systems. The mobile phone obtains two received signal strength indications (RSSI) in relation to the two different communication systems if the mobile phone requires the voice call service, and then calculates two signal transmission power in relation to the two communication system according to the two RSSI. The mobile phone searches a current table to obtain two current according to the two signal transmission power. The mobile phone compares the two current to select one of the two communication systems which needs a smaller one of the two current to provide the voice call service.
