<p>System that wakes up a sleeping target system (110) on a target LAN from a remote system (102) located on a remote LAN (104) . Since the sleeping target system (110) is in a sleep state, it receives packets of a lower-layer protocol which cannot be used by the remote system (102) to directly send packets to the sleeping target system. During operation, the remote system creates a wake-up packet (304) . The remote system (102) then uses a second protocol to send the wake-up packet to a relay agent (112) located on the target LAN. Upon receiving the first wake-up packet, the relay agent uses the lower-layer protocol to send a second wake-up packet to the sleeping target system (312) , which wakes up (316) .</p> |
