Abstract
[Object] To provide an apparatus and a method capable of appropriately dealing with an IP address in MEC. [Solution] An apparatus including: a relay processing unit configured to perform relay processing of communication performed between a service provider device that provides a service to a terminal device and is provided in a radio access network and the terminal device; and a conversion processing unit configured to perform processing for converting an internal IP address assigned to the terminal device and an external IP address. In the relay processing, the relay processing unit communicates with the terminal device with use of the internal IP address and communicates with the service provider device with use of the external IP address.
Claims17
An apparatus comprising:
- a relay processing unit configured to perform relay processing of communication performed between a service provider device that provides a service to a terminal device and is provided in a radio access network and the terminal device;
- and
- a conversion processing unit configured to perform processing for converting an internal IP address assigned to the terminal device and an external IP address, wherein
- in the relay processing, the relay processing unit communicates with the terminal device with use of the internal IP address and communicates with the service provider device with use of the external IP address.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processing unit configured to communicate, by using an assigned internal IP address, with a relay device that performs relay processing of communication performed with a service provider device provided in a radio access network, wherein
- a service provided by the service provider device with use of an external IP address is relayed after the external IP address and the internal IP address are converted in the relay device.
A method comprising:
- performing relay processing of communication performed between a service provider device that provides a service to a terminal device and is provided in a radio access network and the terminal device;
- performing processing for causing a processor to convert an internal IP address assigned to the terminal device and an external IP address;
- and
- in the relay processing, communicating with the terminal device with use of the internal IP address and communicating with the service provider device with use of the external IP address.
A method comprising:
- causing a processor to communicate, by using an assigned internal IP address, with a relay device that performs relay processing of communication performed with a service provider device provided in a radio access network, wherein
- a service provided by the service provider device with use of an external IP address is relayed after the external IP address and the internal IP address are converted in the relay device.
