A method and a device for managing a remote communication service (streaming) between a terminal in a communications network and an object of a local area network. The terminal and the object are capable of communicating via a gateway of the local area network. The method includes the following steps on a service provision device providing the service: establishing a list of associations between an address for accessing the object and at least one feature of the service; obtaining at least one criterion linked to the terminal; selecting at least one association in the list of associations according to said criterion; and sending to the terminal at least one address associated with said at least one selected association.

Methods and apparatuses are described for dynamic medium access control (MAC) address distribution in a wireless network. A station (STA) may receive, from an access point (AP), a frame that includes an indicator indicating at least one MAC address type or MAC address policy supported by an extended service set (ESS) associated with the AP. The indicator may comprise an 8 bit bitmap. The STA may then transmit, to the AP, a request message that includes MAC Address Assignment Protocol information determined based on the at least one MAC address type or MAC address policy. The STA may receive a response message that includes a local medium access control (MAC) address assigned based on the MAC Address Assignment Protocol information. The STA may transmit, to the AP, an association request frame with the local MAC address.

In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to use with irrigation devices connected to a multi-wire path in an irrigation system. In some embodiments, there is provided a system for use with irrigation devices including a modulator configured to provide an output power signal modulated with data; a multi-wire interface coupled to the modulator and configured to electrically couple to the multi-wire path extending into a landscape and to which the irrigation devices are connected; and a control circuit configured to execute an automated device discovery process configured to cause the modulator to modulate data comprising a discovery message on the output power signal, the discovery message indicating a portion of an address to match and prompting a response from one or more of the irrigation devices in which a corresponding portion of the unique address matches the portion of the address to match.

A method of configuring a storage system includes the steps of: sending a command to one or more units in the electronic system to enter into an address setting mode; generating a signal for a user to identify units that have entered the address setting mode; and setting up an address for a unit based on an input received from the user.

The present invention relates to a method for controlling devices within an agricultural network system via a network bus such as a physical network bus or a logical network bus, wherein the devices are controlled by means of control information which is transmitted to the devices by means of messages comprising a content and a header title, the method comprising steps for:—determining a function for performing thereof by a device in the network,—determining the content of a message to be transmitted,—compiling header title information for inclusion thereof in a header title for the message to be transmitted, wherein—the header title information comprises a predetermined number of data fields, such as preferably a network identifier, a device type designation, a function designation, a location designation and/or a group designation, for the purpose of determining on the basis of compliance with one or more of these data fields which device or devices receive(s) the message.

A configuration of a cloud application exposed via a public IP address is duplicated with modifications to include a private IP address to expose the application internally. The original configuration is updated so that external network traffic sent to the application is redirected to and distributed across agents running on nodes of a cloud cluster by which web application firewalls (WAFs) are implemented. A set of agents for which the respective WAFs should inspect the redirected network traffic are selected based on cluster metrics, such as network and resource utilization metrics. The redirected network traffic targets a port allocated to the agents that is unique to the application, where ports are allocated on a per-application basis so each of the agents can support WAF protection for multiple applications. Network traffic which a WAF allows to pass is directed from the agent to the application via its private IP address.
