Abstract: In a multicast network which permits client nodes to join only a source-specific multicast group, when a multicast group join request is received from a client node provided with an any-source multicast management protocol, a multicast router translates the join request into a join request for a source-specific multicast group by applying a source server address of the multicast group searched from a multicast source address table on the basis of an address of an incoming line of the join request and the multicast group address designated in the join request.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a method of producing a separating agent for an enantiomeric isomer having a high optical resolution power together with sufficient solvent resistance. That is, a method of producing a separating agent for an enantiomeric isomer comprising the steps of allowing the porous carrier to carry the optically active polymer compound by bringing the porous carrier into contact with a dope of the optically active polymer compound and exposing a product to radiation.

Abstract: In a first-hop router, a reachability monitor monitors RP (Rendezvous-Point) reachability, and the number of times when a response time is not shorter than a predetermined time is stored in a RP management table. An RP selection process controls not to select RP whose reachability from the first-hop router is not stable, so that PIM Register transmission to an unstable RP is suppressed.

Abstract: The invention improves safety of an electronic controller using a nonvolatile memory MRAM able to easily perform reading and writing operations at high speed. Therefore, MRAM for writing a control program from an external tool has a correction code adding writing circuit, a decoding reading-out circuit, and error registers for writing an error generating address number thereto as error data. When the error generating address is designated and confirmation reading-out is performed and an error is generated as before, an overlapping abnormality judgment is made and abnormality notification is performed. A program memory area of MRAM is normally in a writing inhibition state. When the external tool is connected, the inhibition state is released. The error registers are arranged in a data memory area set to no writing inhibition object.

Abstract: A glucan derivative (e.g., a cellulose acylate derivative) which is useful for a thermoplastic resin, is inhibited in hygroscopicity at a high level and is excellent in compatibility with a plasticizer or solubility in a solvent is provided. In the glucan derivative which comprises an acyl group and a graft chain formed from at least one graft component selected from a lactone and a hydroxycarboxylic acid, each bonding to a glucose unit of a glucan (e.g., a cellulose) constituting the glucan derivative, a hydroxyl group in the graft chain is protected with a protecting group. The graft chain may be formed from a C4-16lactone. The hydroxyl group in the graft chain may be protected with an acyl group (e.g., a C2-8alkylcarbonyl group such as acetyl group). The degree of substitution of the acyl group may be from 1 to 2.99, and the degree of substitution of the graft chain may be from 0.01 to 2.

The communication system includes a home network installed with a home agent for holding mobile terminal location information and, a visited network installed with a radio communications device for communicating with that mobile terminal, and gateway equipment in the visited network for forming an interface with the home network. The radio communication device includes an access request transfer unit for forwarding access requests from a mobile terminal of the visited network to the gateway equipment which makes an acquisition request to the home agent for an identifier of that mobile terminal, and forwards that acquired identifier to that mobile terminal.

Abstract: Flow information of excessive traffic detected by a traffic monitor of a packet forwarding apparatus is entirely delivered to a manager server. By combining input/output port information of the flow and topology information, the manager server calculates from where the flow is inputted and to where the flow is outputted. By further combining results of judgment of traffic contents, the manager server controls the traffic at an optimal position according to the traffic contents. The problems of inefficiency can be avoided by managing the flow information by the manager server in a concentrated way. Adding the flow information to the network topology drawing for each flow, it is possible for the network administrator to more easily understand the statuses of flows on the network.

Abstract: Prior art quarantine networks were implemented by two methods, the IEEE802.1x method and the DHCP method, but these methods both have different problems. The problem with the IEEE802.1x method is that it is difficult to make the transition from an existing management framework. The problem with the DHCP method is that it is difficult to prevent attacks on the network itself, and to repeat client quarantine. The present invention implements client login authentication and client security status quarantine independently, and controls layer-2 connectivity based on the respective results. This permits quarantine using an existing management framework, as well as enhancing network protection by layer-2 connection control and permitting repeat quarantine of the client using the same IP address. Moreover, by incorporating other layer-2 connectivity control mechanisms, flexible layer-2 connectivity control outside the quarantine network can also be implemented.
