Patent

CA 2670996

A system and method for minimizing interactions between a multi-homed device and associated control points in the event that the multi-homed device experiences connectivity disruptions in some, but not all, of its network interfaces. In various embodiments, a new optional header to the SSDP:byebye message format. The new header allows a multi-homed device to signal its continuous availability to compatible control points, despite the need to send SSDP:byebye messages, update its BOOTlD value and re-advertise itself to address a network issue it experienced elsewhere. The use of this new header indicates to control points unaffected by the disruption that they can continue to utilize the device and its associated services regardless of these SSDP messages.

La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé pour minimiser des interactions entre un dispositif à plusieurs connexions et des points de commande associés au cas où le dispositif à plusieurs connexions présente des interruptions de connectivité dans certaines, pas toutes, de ses interfaces réseau. Différents modes de réalisation concernent un nouvel en-tête en option au format de message SSDP : byebye. Le nouvel en-tête permet à un dispositif à plusieurs connexions de signaler sa disponibilité en continu à des points de commande compatibles, malgré le besoin d'envoyer des messages byebye SSDP, de mettre à jour sa valeur BOOTID et de se ré-annoncer pour répondre à un problème de réseau qu'il a rencontré ailleurs. L'utilisation de ce nouvel en-tête indique aux points de commande qui n'ont pas été influencés par l'interruption qu'ils peuvent continuer à utiliser le dispositif et ses services associés indépendamment de ces messages SSDP.
