Method and system to connect internet protocol hosts via an application specific bus
First Claim
1. A method of implementing Internet Protocol (IP) hosts on an application specific bus without disrupting the application specific bus comprising:
- determining an application specific bus address of a remote device, said remote device having an IP address in addition to the application specific bus address;
formatting a message conforming to the application specific bus, said message containing an IP datagram and message identifiers;
transmitting the message on the application specific bus;
receiving the message at the remote device based upon the application specific bus address;
authenticating the message as an IP message based upon the message identifiers; and
extracting the IP datagram from the message and processing the IP datagram by a conventional IP network processing protocol.

Abstract
The present invention includes a system and method to implement Internet Protocol (IP) hosts on an application specific bus without disrupting the application specific bus. In one embodiment, an IP host determines the application specific bus address of a remote device, the remote device having an IP address in addition to the application specific bus address. The IP host formats a message conforming to the application specific bus, the message containing IP data and message identifiers. The IP host transmits the message on the application specific bus. In addition, the IP host negotiates for network access on the application specific bus. A destination IP host receives the message based upon the application specific bus address of the destination IP host and authenticates the message as an IP messages based upon the message identifiers. In addition, the destination IP host extracts the IP data from the message and processes the IP data by a conventional IP network processing protocol.
