Abstract
The communication method concerns two data processing apparatuss (101, 105) each having a microprocessor (201, 211) and memory (205, 215), a first one (105) at least of the data processing apparatus having and managing at least one input/output resource (106).For communicating each set of user information coming from the second data processing apparatus and intended to be transmitted to an input/output resource managed by the first of the data processing apparatuses, it includes:performed by the second data processing apparatus, a step of dissociating, with the said set of user information, a set of additional information representing:the communication protocol from which the information comes in the second data processing apparatus, andthe said input/output resource; andperformed conjointly by the two data processing apparatuses, a step of transmitting the said sets of information from the second data processing apparatus to the first data processing apparatus.
