Abstract
An apparatus and method for setting a default gateway address of a mobile terminal (MT). In the method, address configuration information is received from a network device. An address different from a Packet Data Protocol (PDP) included in the address configuration information is configured as a network address of the default gateway. Filtering is performed on a packet received by the mobile terminal.
Claims22
A method for setting a default gateway address of a mobile terminal in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving address configuration information from a network device;
- setting an address different from a Packet Data Protocol (PDP) address included in the address configuration information as a network address of a default gateway;
- and
- filtering a packet received by the mobile terminal.
An apparatus of a mobile terminal, for setting a default gateway address of the mobile terminal, the apparatus comprising:
- a mobile communication unit;
- an Internet Protocol (IP) configuration management unit;
- and
- an Ethernet unit,
- wherein the mobile communication unit receives address configuration information and a packet from a network device, provides the address configuration information and the packet from the network device to the IP configuration management unit, and transmits a packet from the IP configuration management unit to the network device,
- wherein the IP configuration management unit sets an address different from a Packet Data Protocol (PDP) address included in the address configuration information as a network address of the default gateway, filters a packet provided by the Ethernet unit, processes the packet provided by the Ethernet unit, provides the filtered packet to the mobile communication unit or the Ethernet unit, and provides the packet provided by the mobile communicant unit to the Ethernet unit, and
- wherein the Ethernet unit generates an Ethernet packet including an IP packet provided by the mobile communication unit and the IP configuration management unit in order to transmit the generated Ethernet packet to a terminal equipment, obtains an IP packet from the Ethernet packet received from the terminal equipment, and provides the obtained IP packet to the IP configuration management unit.
