Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0034885A1] The present invention provides for the remote installation of a rerouting driver (335) into the network driver interface (315) in the path between one or more media access control units (320) and one or more protocol drivers (310) in a computer system. Code in the network driver interface (315) is disabled, patched to insert the rerouting driver (335), and then re-enabled. The disabling and re-enabling of the code is performed such that the computer system does not have to be restarted following installation of the patch.
