    • A technique is disclosed that allows different computers in a network to create an identifier that uniquely identifies the network. The technique allows the unique identifier to be consistently created over time, regardless of the particular make up of the computing devices in the network at any particular point time. In some implementation, a computer within the network hosts the identification creation tool. In order to create a unique identifier for the network, the tool identifies each network adapter used by the host computer. Using this information, the tool identifies a gateway device used by the network adapter or adapters, and then determines the physical network address of that gateway device. For example, if the network is an Ethernet network, the tool will determine the medial access control (MAC) address for the gateway device. The tool then creates a unique identifier for the network based upon the physical address. The unique network identifier can then be used to associate the billing a usage fee, such as a licensing fee, with the network rather than with an individual computer within the network. Alternately or additionally, the unique network identifier can be used to maintain and support the gateway device for the network.
    • 公开了允许网络中的不同计算机创建唯一地标识网络的标识符的技术。 该技术允许随着时间的推移一致地创建唯一标识符,而不管网络中任何特定点时间的计算设备的具体组成。 在一些实现中,网络内的计算机承载识别创建工具。 为了创建网络的唯一标识符,该工具识别主机使用的每个网络适配器。 使用该信息,该工具识别网络适配器或适配器使用的网关设备,然后确定该网关设备的物理网络地址。 例如,如果网络是以太网,则该工具将确定网关设备的内部访问控制(MAC)地址。 该工具然后基于物理地址创建网络的唯一标识符。 然后可以使用唯一的网络标识符将计费与网络的使用费用(例如许可费用)相关联,而不是与网络内的单个计算机相关联。 或者或另外,唯一网络标识符可以用于维护和支持网络的网关设备。
