METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING DEVICES BY USING IPV6 ADDRESS

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for identifying devices by using an IPv6 address is provided to identify devices by using device ID information for identifying kinds of the devices recorded in the rest regions except a company ID region and a serial number region, thereby automatically identifying the devices by using an IPv6 address system. CONSTITUTION: A data structure comprises as follows. A network ID region(410) identifies a network where devices are included. An interface ID region(420) identifies addresses of the devices. The interface ID region(420) comprises as follows. A company ID region(430) identifies manufacturers of the devices. A serial number region(460) identifies IDs(441-458) of the devices. A device ID region(440) is located between the company ID region(430) and the serial number region(460), and identifies the kinds of the devices.
