Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Upon obtaining a packet including a broadcast/multicast MAC address from a virtual machine, a packet conversion apparatus obtains, based on first association information, a subnet identifier corresponding to the MAC address of the obtained packet, also obtains, based on second association information, a packet type identifier corresponding to the MAC address of the obtained packet, converts the packet to be transmitted to a different computer via a network into a multicast packet by setting the subnet identifier obtained based on the first association information and the packet type identifier obtained based on the second association information in a field of the MAC address of the packet to be transmitted, and transmits the packet to be transmitted, which is obtained by being converted, to the different computer via the network.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a packet conversion program for causing a computer, which has a storing unit configured to store first association information between a MAC address of a virtual machine connected to a virtual switch and a subnet identifier for identifying a subnet to which the virtual machine belongs, and second association information between a MAC address representing a broadcast address or a multicast address and a packet…
