Systems, methods, architectures, and computer program products for linking multiple devices are disclosed. In an example for linking a mobile device with a desktop device, an identifier of a mobile device can be received from a desktop computer. The identifier can be used to send a link to the mobile device. When the link is accessed, a code and a channel are generated. The mobile device is connected to the channel and the code is provided to the mobile device. The code is entered at the desktop device and the desktop device is connected to the channel responsive to the code being validated, thereby linking the desktop and mobile devices.

Device linking method

The invention introduces a method for NAT (Network Address Translation) traversal, performed by a processing unit of a node, which contains at least the following steps: issuing an initial packet to an intermediate server through a router, in which the initial packet at least contains ID (identity) information of the node; and periodically sending packets to a black hole through the router, so that the router maintains session information between the node and the black hole.

Methods for NAT (network address translation) traversal and systems using the same

A method for performing wake-up management and an associated apparatus are provided, where the method is applied to at least one portion of a network system, and the network system includes a local area network (LAN). The method includes: utilizing a wake-on-LAN (WOL) agent device to receive device information of a network device, where the WOL agent device and the network device are positioned in the LAN, and the network device broadcasts the device information according to a predetermined communications protocol; utilizing the WOL agent device to update a wake-up management list in the WOL agent device according to the device information, where the wake-up management list includes the device information; and utilizing the WOL agent device to perform a WOL operation on the network device according to the wake-up management list.

Method and associated apparatus for performing wake-up management on network devices

A method for managing static Uniform Resource Locator (URL) access, an associated apparatus, and an associated computer program product are provided, wherein the method includes the steps of: receiving a URL request from a browser running on another electronic device, wherein the URL request includes a static URL, and the static URL is utilized for accessing a specific web page on a specific web server; sending request information representing the URL request to a control server, wherein the control server stores registered information of each web server of at least one web server, and the at least one web server includes the specific web server; receiving response information corresponding to the request information from the control server; and controlling the browser to perform a test operation according to the registered information of the specific web server, in order to selectively control web page access of the browser.

Method, apparatus and computer program product for managing static uniform resource locator access

A server cluster has a plurality of application servers. During failover of a failed node of the application servers, right to use of internet protocol (IP) address of the failed node is transferred to a surviving node of the server cluster according to a failed-link index of the failed node, the total number of surviving nodes of the server cluster, and successful link indexes of the surviving nodes.

Method for controlling operations of server cluster
