Latest Patents
Hirviniemi holds a patent for a "Wide area network (WAN) interface for a transmission control." This invention relates to a method for interfacing a transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) area network (LAN) to a wide area network via a MAC manager. The TCP/IP software utilizes a lower-level address resolution protocol (ARP) to find physical network addresses corresponding to logical internet protocol (IP) addresses. Additionally, it employs a lower-level IP protocol to transfer useful traffic in IP data packets. In this invention, the media access control (MAC) manager of the wide area network simulates operation complying with the ARP protocol towards the TCP/IP software, transmitting and receiving only IP data packets over the wide area network in a manner specific to the wide area network. Hirviniemi's innovative solution addresses critical challenges in network communication.
