Asymmetric Addressing For Limited Domains and Internet - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18487838 titled 'Asymmetric Addressing For Limited Domains and Internet

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a mechanism in a border router that receives an upstream packet over a limited domain network (LDN). The source address of the packet includes a LDN suffix, which is translated into an IPv6 suffix using a function. The packet is then forwarded over an IPv6 network based on the translated source address.

  • The mechanism operates in a border router.
  • It receives an upstream packet over a limited domain network (LDN).
  • The upstream packet has a source address with a LDN suffix.
  • The LDN suffix is translated into an IPv6 suffix using a function.
  • The upstream packet is forwarded over an IPv6 network based on the translated source address.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Enhancing network routing efficiency.
  • Enabling seamless communication between LDN and IPv6 networks.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Translation of source addresses from LDN to IPv6 format.
  • Facilitating communication between different network domains.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved compatibility between LDN and IPv6 networks.
  • Efficient routing of packets between different network domains.


Original Abstract Submitted

A mechanism operating in a border router is disclosed. The mechanism includes receiving an upstream packet over a limited domain network (LDN). The upstream packet comprises a source address including a LDN suffix. The source address is translated into Internet Protocol version six (IPv6) format by applying a function to translate the LDN suffix into an IPv6 suffix. The upstream packet is forwarded over an IPv6 network based on the source address in IPv6 format.
