IP Messenger Overview
What is IP Messenger?
IP Messenger is a messenger software for LAN created by Keisho Hakusui.
This excellent software automatically recognizes members of the same network and easily allows clients to exchange information with each other in real time.
How IP Messenger works
IP Messenger sends broadcast packets to the LAN to search for other PCs running IP Messenger and automatically recognize users.
Broadcast packets generally reach the same department or floor within the company, so information can be easily exchanged with users within a department or project.
The same mechanism is utilized in many network systems, such as for the purpose of a smartphone or computer finding a wireless LAN router.
IP Messenger and Security
There are several Internet messenger software services available, but since each message is sent and received outside the company, it is necessary to understand the advantages and problems of using these services.
In particular, Internet messengers with file transfer functions must take into account the risk of information leaks, since files are transferred outside the company in a manner that is difficult for administrators to trace.
IP Messenger is a secure messenger for companies because communication is closed within the company (LAN), so there is no need to worry about information leakage to the outside or virus infection from the outside. If you are exchanging information only with members of your company, the LAN Messenger is recommended.
