Abstract
To enable a visitor network to access a host network, a method includes steps in which a router of a visitor network connects to a router of a host network and transmits to it an address request message containing an identifier of the visitor router. The host router extracts, from the address request message received, the identifier of the visitor router, and transmits, to the visitor router, an address assignment message containing either an address or an address prefix of the host network, depending on the identifier of the visitor router extracted from the address request message.

15. A method for a visitor network to access a host network, comprising:
-
steps in which a router of the visitor network is connected to a router of the host network and transmits thereto an address request message containing an identifier of the visitor router; and steps in which the host network router extracts the identifier of the visitor router from the address request message received, and in response transmits, to the visitor router, an address assignment message containing either an address, or an address prefix of the host network, depending on the identifier of the visitor router extracted from the address request message. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A host router for connection to a host network in order to establish a connection with a visitor network by means of a visitor router, the host router comprising:
processing means programmed to receive an address request message transmitted by a visitor router that attempts to connect to the host network, wherein the processing means of the host router are designed to extract, from each received address message request, an identifier of the visitor router that has transmitted the address request message, and to transmit an address assignment message containing either an address, or an address prefix of the host network, according to the identifier of the router extracted from the address request message received. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A visitor router for a visitor network in order to establish a connection with a host network by means of a host router, the visitor router comprising:
processing means designed to transmit an address request message intended for the host router, wherein the processing means includes means for storing an identifier, and wherein the processing means further are designed to insert the identifier into the address request message, to receive, in response to the address request message, an address assignment message containing either an address or an address prefix of the host network, and to establish a connection with the host network using the address or the address prefix received.

30. A system in which a visitor network can access a host network, the system comprising:
-
a visitor router connected to the visitor network; and a host router connected to the host network, wherein the visitor and host routers include means for connecting to another router, wherein the visitor router includes processing means designed to transmit an address request message to another router, wherein the host router comprises processing means designed to receive an address request message coming from another router, and comprises processing means programmed to receive an address request message transmitted by a visitor router that attempts to connect to the host network, wherein the processing means of the host router are designed to extract, from each received address message request, an identifier of the visitor router that has transmitted the address request message, and to transmit an address assignment message containing either an address, or an address prefix of the host network, according to the identifier of the router extracted from the address request message received, and wherein the visitor router comprises processing means designed to transmit an address request message intended for the host router, wherein the visitor router processing means includes means for storing an identifier, and wherein the visitor router processing means further are designed to insert the identifier into the address request message, to receive, in response to the address request message, an address assignment message containing either an address or an address prefix of the host network, and to establish a connection with the host network using the address or the address prefix received.

31. A computer program product for a visitor network to access a host network, the computer program product comprising program code instructions that, when executed by a visitor router on the visitor network, perform the following operations:
-
steps in which the router of the visitor network is connected to a router of the host network and transmits thereto an address request message containing an identifier of the visitor router; and steps in which the visitor network router receives, from the host network router, an address assignment message containing either an address, or an address prefix of the host network, depending on the identifier of the visitor router extracted from the address request message. - View Dependent Claims (32)
