CA 2470804

An architecture for performing communications between a remote computer system and a host server over a "connection establishment" type network (i.e., dial- up) is described. The architecture comprises configuring the remote computer system with a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) stack. Similarly, an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) service module and a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server are configured on the remote computer system. The PPP stack provides dial-up networking capabilities, while the DHCP server and the ARP service module provide "always connected" type network (i.e., LAN) messaging functionality. The PPP stack, the ARP service module, and the DHCP server are configured as a driver that is installed on the remote computer system. As such, the driver will enable a connection over the "connection establishment" type network that will appear to be an "always connected" type connection to the remote computer system.

L'invention concerne une architecture permettant d'effectuer des communications entre un système informatique distant et un serveur hôte via un réseau de type "à établissement de communication" (c'est-à-dire, commuté). Cette architecture consiste à configurer le système informatique distant avec une pile de protocole de point-à-point (PPP). De même, un module de service de protocole de résolution d'adresse (ARP) et un serveur DHCP sont configurés sur le système informatique distant. La pile PPP assure des fonctions d'accès au réseau par ligne commutée, tandis que le serveur DHCP et le module de service ARP assurent une fonction de messagerie de réseau du type "toujours commuté" (c'est-à-dire, réseau local). La pile PPP, le module de service ARP et le serveur DHCP sont configurés sous forme de logiciel pilote qui est installé sur le système informatique distant. A ce titre, le logiciel pilote valide la communication via le réseau du type "à établissement de communication" qui ressemble à un réseau du type "toujours commuté" au système informatique distant.
