DESIGN STRUCTURE FOR AUTOMATED MEANS FOR DETERMINING INTERNET ACCESS ON A SYSTEM ON A CHIP

摘要

A method for determining Internet access by an autonomous electronic circuit on a system on a chip integrated circuit includes a system bus which is snooped to determine if Internet activity is occurring on the system bus. Local header information is collected when the snooping has determined that Internet activity is occurring on the system bus. A packet including the local header information is created. Internet access is requested with the created packet.
