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 unused regions except bit regions, thereby automatically identifying the devices without setting an address. CONSTITUTION: A data structure comprises as follows. A network ID region(410) identifies a network including devices therein. An interface ID region(420) identifies addresses of the devices in the network. The interface ID region comprises as follows. A device ID region(430) identifies kinds of the devices. A company ID region(440) identifies manufacturers of the devices. A serial number region(460) identifies IDs(431-436) of the devices. The device ID region(430) is not included in an unused region of the company ID region(440).
