Leaf 1.02

Crossing network boundaries to overcome physical constraints so we can share

these devices and services as if they were all on the same LAN is the next

revolution in networking. For example, you may want to save files on your PC

to a co-worker?s NAS, watch a video off your media center on your friend?s

TV, share a printer with a neighbor, save pictures of your family directly

onto your parents? PC, play Xbox head-to-head with a classmate and much much

more. In the near future, we will need to create ?virtual? [local area]

networks using the Internet that will include devices outside of our

physical LANs and be able to access them simple as if they were on our own

network.

The unique, patent pending technology created and used by Leaf Networks

allows users to create their own personal private virtual networks without

the need to configure firewalls or routers. No matter where a user is ? hot

spot, hotel, cafe, office or home ? they can still be connected to their

AVAN. Their network devices can be shared using one of many application

protocol router plug-ins offered by Leaf Networks. These protocol routers

bridge network devices between two or more networks without having to modify

the devices. The devices effectively see each other as if they were on the

same local area network.

Users of Leaf Networks? service will be able to engage in activities outside

of the constraints of their physical LAN environment. They will be able save

their files to the hard drive or NAS of colleagues around the world for

backup, stream video off of their media center on to a friend?s TV, share

printers with neighbors, save pictures of their families directly on to

their parents? desktops, access important files from their home PC while on

the road, play head-to-heard Xbox games with their friends, and much, much

more.
