Abstract
A system is connected to an access point via a network, receives packet transmission information held by the access point, and extracts an address having a transfer destination which is radio interface from the packet transmission information. It is assumed that the terminal of the extracted address exists under the access point holing the packet transmission information. Thus, it is possible to realize connection relationship between a terminal and an access point at low cost and not depending on the vendor.
Claims26
A monitor apparatus of a wireless network, characterized in including:
- a means connected to an access point of the wireless network via a network, said means receiving packet transfer information of said access point to extract an address of which a transfer destination is a wireless interface from said packet transfer information;
- and an estimating means for estimating that a terminal having said extracted address exists as a subordinate of the access point retaining said packet transfer information.
A monitor apparatus of a wireless network, characterized in including:
- a means connected to an access point of the wireless network via a network, said means receiving packet transfer information of said access point to extract an address of which a transfer destination is a wireless interface from said packet transfer information;
- and
- a determining means for investigating an operation situation of a terminal having said extracted address to determine that said terminal having said address has a connection with the access point retaining said packet transfer information in a case where said terminal having said address is in operation.
A monitor system of a wireless network, said monitor system being configured of:
- at least one access point of a wireless network;
- at least one terminal of the wireless network;
- and
- a monitor apparatus connected to said access point via a network, characterized in that said monitor apparatus includes:
- a means for receiving packet transfer information of said access point to extract an address of which a transfer destination is a wireless interface from said packet transfer information;
- and
- an estimating means for estimating that said terminal having said extracted address exists as a subordinate of the access point retaining said packet transfer information.
A monitor system of a wireless network, said monitor system being configured of:
- at least one access point of the wireless network;
- at least one terminal of the wireless network;
- and
- a monitor apparatus connected to said access point via a network, characterized in that said monitor apparatus includes:
- a means for receiving packet transfer information of said access point to extract an address of which a transfer destination is a wireless interface from said packet transfer information;
- and
- a determining means for investigating an operation situation of said terminal having said extracted address to determines that said terminal having said address has a connection with the access point retaining said packet transfer information in a case where said terminal having said address is in operation.
A control program of an information processing apparatus, said information processing apparatus being connected to an access point of a wireless network via a network and employed as a monitor apparatus, characterized in causing said information processing apparatus to function as:
- a means for receiving packet transfer information of said access point to extract an address of which a transfer destination is a wireless interface from said packet transfer information;
- and
- an estimating means for estimating that said terminal having said extracted address exists as a subordinate of the access point retaining said packet transfer information.
