Abstract
An apparatus for limiting the use of a network address acquires identification data specific to a device connected to the network and generates a message preventing the device from using a network address generated based on the identification data. An apparatus for limiting data transfer detects that a device connected to a network sends data containing a network address generated based on an identifier specific to the device and prevents such data from being transferred.
