Title: Innovations by Jayadev Kumarasamy
Introduction
Jayadev Kumarasamy is a notable inventor based in Morgan Hill, CA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of network technology, holding a total of 5 patents. His work primarily focuses on improving network address allocation and dynamic host configuration.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Proxy for Network Address Allocation." This invention provides a method and apparatus for issuing or renewing a host address. The apparatus includes an input device to receive a data packet with a host identifier, a memory to store a list of host identifiers, and a processor to match the host identifier with the list. If a match is found, the output device transmits the data packet to an address allocation device to issue or renew the host address. The method also includes retrieving the host identifier from the data packet header, matching it with the stored list, and maintaining an authentication state for the host. If no match is found, the host remains unauthenticated. Additionally, the method allows for inserting a proxy address in a relay agent address field and setting a flag before forwarding data packets to the host.
Another significant patent is "Techniques for Dynamic Host Configuration Using Overlapping Network Addresses." This invention outlines techniques for managing leased network addresses across multiple networks with overlapping address spaces. It involves storing banks of addresses for various networks and receiving requests for network addresses from relay agents. The system selects a bank of addresses based on qualifiers associated with the networks and identifies a network address to respond to the relay agent. This allows a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server to provide the same network address for several hosts across different networks, including virtual private networks (VPNs).
