Abstract: Without changing an existing network and terminals, means for preventing improper use of the network is introduced at low costs. An address management server having a topology database of Layer 2 devices (hub, switch, and wireless station in the case of Ethernet) that configure an intranet is used. Within the server, with respect to each Layer 2 device, an address/port number correspondence acquisition means and a packet filtering specification means are stored. The address management server, according to topology information, recursively calls the address/port number correspondence acquisition means of each Layer 2 device from the upstream of the network, thereby obtaining a Layer 2 device accommodating a given Layer 2 address and its port number. By recursively calling the packet filtering specification means from the Layer 2 device in the upstream direction of the network, the Layer 2 device obtained above and its port number are filtered in a Layer device nearest to the terminal.

Abstract: A first internetwork apparatus connected to a network retains a plurality of IPv6 address prefixes and gives notice of an arbitrary IPv6 address prefix to a second internetwork apparatus in response to a request from the second internetwork apparatus. A second internetwork apparatus requests an IPv6 address prefix from the first internetwork apparatus, and generates a second prefix required to create an IPv6 address in a user apparatus, on the basis of one or more IPv6 address prefixes given as notice by the first internetwork apparatus. The second internetwork apparatus gives notice of the generated second prefix to the user apparatus.

Abstract: Due to the mobility of mobile node devices including for example a laptop computer used on a work network and also on a home network with different home addresses, a mobile node (MN) home address and HA (home agent) address may need to be dynamically changed when using prefix communication functions and HA address discovery functions so methods for manually setting the IPsec SA security for encryption between the MN and HA are not practical in this environment. The current Mobile IPv6 protocol also has no function allowing recognition of the MN itself.

Requirement (A): Bright spotty matters in sizes of 20 &mgr;m or more are not more than 20 units/mm3. Requirement (B): Blocking constant (K) is not more than 60. Requirement (C): The ratio (G′/G″) of storage modulus (G′) to loss modulus (G″) at a measuring frequency of 0.016 Hz is not more than 0.2.

Abstract: Disclosed is a communication method allowing MN (mobile nodes) to acquire a home address in a visited network. A communication system comprises 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 contains an access request transfer means for forwarding access requests from a mobile terminal of the visited network to the gateway equipment, and the gateway equipment 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: By using combinations of a plurality of firewall techniques and making these techniques work together appropriately, problems presented with popular use of always-on Internet connections and end-to-end communications using IPv6 are resolved. This flexible manner of applying access control techniques grants favors to corporate network users, resulting from the popular use of always-on Internet connections and IPv6, e.g., the promotion of teleworking and virtual offices. A traffic control computing device which processes control requests from traffic control devices, provided in a network, coordinates the control actions of the individual traffic control devices appropriately.

Abstract: A semiconductor device, wherein contact between bonding wires is prevented, and a method for producing the same are disclosed. A contact prevention member is placed on outer bonding wires so as to be interposed between the outer bonding wires and inner bonding wires, thereby preventing the inner wires and the outer wires from coming into contact with each other.

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: A separating agent for enantiomeric isomers has an enantiomerically active polymer compound supported thereon. The polymer compound has an exothermic peak before a decomposition temperature of the polymer compound supported is reached in a differential calorimetric curve obtained in a process of temperature elevation in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) on the separating agent. Also, disclosed is a method of evaluating asymmetry recognition ability of a separating agent for enantiomeric isomers. The method includes performing the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of a separating agent for enantiomeric isomers having supported thereon an enantiomerically active polymer compound to obtain a differential calorimetric curve in a process of temperature elevation therein, and observing presence or absence of an exothermic peak of the polymer compound in the differential calorimetric curve before a decomposition temperature of the supported polymer compound is reached.

Abstract: A highly-expandable router configuration technology which flexibly meets the need to increase lines as a network grows. A network information sharing unit is provided in a route calculation unit of each router in a clustered router. The network information sharing unit receives an update notification of network information collected by routing protocol units and sends this update information to all other routers in the clustered router as a network information notification packet. The network information sharing units in the receiving router notifies the routing protocol units of the contents of the received updated information. The routing protocol unit updates the network information thereof based on the notified contents, thereby allowing the network information obtained from all routers outside the clustered router to be shared and the clustered router to be recognized externally as a single router.
