FIELD

[0003]

This disclosure

is

directed to

Internet

Protocol IP)

netWorking communications.

B CKGROUND

[0004] In the current

proliferation

of Internet Protocol IP)

netWorking

devices and virtual machine devices, there are

typically tWo Ways that individual

computing

devices are

located

on a netWork.

The

?rst

is

by

means of

an IP address,

usually

conforming to

IPv4,

but Which may also be conform

ing to IPv6. IPv4

addresses are

often

assigned Within a

local

numbering plan and

utiliZe

netWork

address

translation

NAT) in order to

communicate

via one or more routers over

the Internet.

N T

addresses

are

not generally usable

for

incoming connections

from

arbitrary Internet locations,

and

therefore

most

such

devices

are

not intended

to

run

applica

tions

that

provide services to other devices via

the

netWork

Jun.

6,

2013

require

the use of IPv6

to satisfy the

addressing needs of arge

numbers

of devices

coming

on line. HoWever,

the

move

to

IPv6 Will require

signi?cant

infrastructure

upgrades

before

this

can happen.

[0007]

Another

trend is

the groWing

number of

mobile

devices that are being used. The proliferation of various

per

sonal mobile computing

devices

presents a challenge for

the

registration, provisioning and tracking

of

these

devices.

For

example, this

has led

to

the

situation

Where a mobile device

may frequently change

its IP

address as t

relocates.

During

relocation,

the

device

may

ave multiple, active IP

addresses.

This

means

that

an

IP address cannot

be

used

as

a

device

identi?er,

even

Within a communication session, and such

addresses

may

change

unpredictably.

Attempts

to

use addi

tional protocols

such

as SIP

Session

Initiation Protocol) to

resolve this issue

have

also been employed ut do

not prevent

short

term

communication

interruptions.

[0008]

In order

to maintain

an

addressing

identity,

a differ

ent

addressing

strategy must

be used.

One

such

strategy

that

is

part ofmobile IPv6 is to

assign a home

address to

a device

and have

a

home

router

that is

able

to

track the

real

device

address and

route

netWork packets

to the

device When

required.

Another applicable technology is

the

Locator/ID

Separation Protocol LISP) that requires a particular router

infrastructure to simplify

mobile

addressing issues.

[0009]

Yet

another

trend

s the ease With Which loud-based

applications

and services

can be

deployed.

It

is

desirable

that

users are

able to call

up applications

and

services on demand

from

a Wide

range

of cloud providers

and

have them included

Within

their

oWn,

personal

netWork. Hence the automatic

provisioning of irtual machine devices

is very

desirable, and

being able to identify the virtual machine devices by IP

address is a

signi?cant

issue.

[0010] Therefore, there

is

a need for

an

improved

approach

to implement netWork association

betWeen

devices

that

are

associated With

a

particular user, to provide management and

control over the

devices, and to

enable these

devices to have

a

special

messaging relationship With each other.

Patent Fight

• Winning a patent fight is not always obvious

• Will be very expensive

•

Jurisdiction matters – choose wisely

•

Timing is critical

•

Finding prior art sounds easier than it is

•

Defense strategy: Buy and/or Rent

•

Use licensing to block future attacks
