【発明の名称】マルチキャスト・ネットワーク内で動的フィルタリングを使用する管理制御

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP2002512488

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for disseminating filters from an intermediate network entity called an Administrative Control Point (ACP). The ACP sends dynamic filtering information to various ones of the receiving entities in a network. Thus, receivers in the network can have a set of dynamic filters that can differ from all other sets of dynamic filters in the other receivers. When a receiver receives multicast data, it filters the received data using the filters that it received from the ACP before it processes the received data. The ACP can also update and/or change the filters in one or more receivers at a later time. Dynamic filters can be, for example, software modules, software classes, and/or configuration parameters.
