COMMUNICATION MODULE AND APPLICATION PROGRAM PROVIDED WITH SAME

摘要

[PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED] An interactive communication is carried out by using a specific communication protocol in an application without depending on a specific network environment by OS, etc. [MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS] In order to connect an application program with an imaginary network through a server on the internet, a communication module is installed in the client device. The module intervenes between the application program and a local communication protocol stack group of the operation system installed in this computer, holds an address for the application program on the imaginary network, carries out tunneling processing of a packet addressed to the imaginary network from the local communication protocol stack, delivers the same to the server through the local communication protocol stack, and is provided with protocol stacks of layers 2, 3 and 4 that are independent of the local communication protocol stack group.
