Abstract

The protocol repeat/conversion library 13 and the protocol repeat/conversion program 24 exchange inner information between each other in order to establish a virtual connection. The protocol repeat/conversion library 13 sends a logical host address name determined independently of the receiver protocol. The protocol repeat/conversion program 24 resolves the receiver address determined dependently of the receiver protocol and stores the receiver address to the address conversion table 242 with a index number related to the receiver address. The index number indicates one line in the address conversion table 132 and 242. The protocol repeat/conversion library 13 receives the index number. After all, the index number is applied for establishing a virtual connection between the sending terminal 1 and the receiving terminal 3.
