The energy-saving high strength aramid fiber conveyer belt is expected to have longer service life and better energy-saving and environment-friendly properties, and is particularly suitable for long-distance material conveyance in industries such as coal mine, metallurgy, mine, etc.

In this invention, an idea of the reverse direction label switched path (RLP) in Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is applied to the multicast transmission to improve the management transmission in the multicast transmission, and to easily carry out an additional connection and disconnection. Specifically, in the reverse direction symmetric routing Label switched Path (LP), a virtual label in addition to an input label and an output label is used for the reverse direction routing. However, in this invention, instead of the virtual label, a multicast address to which a client terminal, which is connected to a head of the path on the reverse direction routing, and corresponds to a leaf in the multicast tree, is connected, is registered, as a multicast index, in routers on the path. Then, when receiving a multicast packet including a label and a multicast address, an output label corresponding to the received label is identified, thereby a destination link is identified.

Disclosed is a system that make it possible for a user to readily boot an operating system from a user terminal with user-specific settings, thereby making it unnecessary for the server to register an image for each OS environment, as a result of which the required storage capacity of the server can be reduced. The user terminal, which is connected to the server by a network, is booted using an operating system stored in the server. In booting of the user terminal, user information that has been selected by the user from OS-booting user information stored on a removable storage medium of the user terminal is transmitted to the server under the control of a BIOS preboot environment stored in a storage device of the user terminal. On the basis of the user information, the server authenticates the user terminal, transmits the operating system to the user terminal and network-boots the operating system in a user-specific environment.
