Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional tunnel communication setup is used, then communication between different local area networks is achieved, but device complexity and setup difficulty increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic peer-to-peer connection establishment between tunnel communication devices without requiring manual router configuration. The P2P communication setup units automatically discover and connect devices across different networks, allowing the system to service itself rather than requiring user intervention for complex setup procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces communication processing devices as intermediaries that facilitate tunnel communication between different local area networks. These intermediaries handle the complex routing and packet encapsulation/decapsulation processes, shielding end users from the complexity while maintaining reliable communication capability.
2Reliability
If complex router setup is required for tunnel communication, then network connectivity is established, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The tunnel communication devices automatically establish connections through P2P communication setup units without requiring users to perform complex router configurations. The system self-configures routing paths and handles connection management, dramatically improving ease of operation while maintaining reliable network connectivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing communication paths and configuration parameters before actual data transmission begins. The P2P setup units conduct preliminary connection establishment and routing decisions, so that when communication is needed, the path is already ready, eliminating the need for users to perform complex setup procedures.
3Reliability
If manual network configuration is performed, then communication between different networks is achieved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The communication processing devices and P2P setup units automatically perform network configuration and connection establishment without requiring manual user input. This self-service approach dramatically reduces setup time while ensuring reliable communication establishment through automated routing and packet handling.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs all necessary configuration actions preliminarily through automated P2P setup procedures before actual communication begins. Connection paths, routing tables, and packet encapsulation parameters are established in advance through automated discovery and negotiation, eliminating time-consuming manual configuration steps.

AI summary
Provided are an information processing system, a tunnel communication device, a tunnel communication method, and a program that can make a communication between plural information processing devices belonging to different LANs without a user's making a complex setup. In the information processing system, a first tunnel communication unit encapsulates a packet from a first information processing device, transmits the encapsulated packet through a path of a P2P communication, and decapsulates the packet transmitted from a second tunnel communication device through the path of the P2P communication. A second tunnel communication unit encapsulates the packet transmitted from the second information processing device, transmits the encapsulated packet through the path of the P2P communication, and decapsulates the packet transmitted from the first tunnel communication device through the path of the P2P communication.
