Patent

CA 2284889

A broadcast or multicast message from a network station is forwarded only to stations in the same virtual broadcast domain (VBD) as the sending station. In some embodiments, a VBD is virtual network (VLAN) or a workgroup (a group of stations, possibly within a VLAN). A membership of a network station in a VBD is determined based on the user who logged on to the station. When the station is first powered up, it is bound to a "default" VBD. When a user logs on, the VBDs assigned to the user are determined, and the user's station is switched to the VBDs. When the user logs off, the user's station is returned to the default VBD.

Un message multidiffusion ou multidestinataire, provenant d'une station de réseau, est retransmis uniquement à des stations du même domaine de diffusion virtuel (VBD) que la station émettrice. Dans certains modes de réalisation, un VBD est un réseau virtuel (VLAN) ou un groupe de travail (c'est-à-dire un groupe de stations, éventuellement à l'intérieur d'un VLAN). Un des appartenants de la station de réseau d'un VBD est déterminé en fonction de l'utilisateur qui s'est connecté à ladite station. Lorsque cette station est mise sous tension, elle est limitée à un VBD "par défaut". Lorsqu'un utilisateur se connecte, le(s) VBD(s) attribué(s) à cet utilisateur est (sont) déterminé(s), et la station dudit utilisateur commutée vers ce(s) VBD(s). Lorsque l'utilisateur se déconnecte, la station de cet utilisateur est à nouveau acheminée vers le VBD par défaut.
