Title:
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONVERTING REQUEST BETWEEN DIFFERENT MULTICAST PROTOCOLS IN COMMUNICATION NETWORK
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2004208302
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a system and method for generating and evaluating a request in a protocol from another request formed in another protocol.

The request relates to a change of membership to a group, and the group relates a service to a host of the service in a communication network. In particular, the method comprises receiving said request, identifying a target group from said request, identifying an associated host to said target group, and generating in another protocol another request containing a reference to said target group and said associated host. The request identifies said group and does not uniquely identify said associated host. The invention provides the ability to block a request from proceeding further if it does not belong to a recognized group.
