1. A device for sealing an under-mount sink, characterized by:
a. at least one hook disposed between a counter underlay and countertop at the junction of the underlay and countertop sink opening;
b. at least one strap anchored to the at least one hook, wherein the hook is capable of holding the strap under tension;
c. a means for shortening the length of the strap;
d. a sealing material disposed on the lip of an under-mount sink, wherein when the under-mount sink is placed on at least one strap, and the at least one strap is shortened, the sink is elevated against the underside of the countertop compressing the sealing material between the lip of the sink and the underside of the countertop.
2. The device of claim 1, wherein the means for shortening the length of the at least one strap comprises a ratcheting mechanism.
3. The device of claim 1, wherein the at least one hook is anchored to the at least one strap using a window portion of the hook and looped with the at least one strap.
4. The device of claim 3, wherein the at least one hook is comprised of a metal bracket to rigidly brace objects by the at least one strap.
5. The device of claim 1, wherein multiple hooks and straps are used to anchor and seal an under-mount sink in position.
6. The device of claim 5, wherein two straps are disposed lengthwise under an under-mount sink and two additional straps are substantially perpendicular disposed on the lengthwise straps to further comprise an adjustable basket.
7. The device of claim 1, wherein the at least one strap comprises an integrated toothed-track with a clutch locking device disposed thereon.
8. The device of claim 1, wherein the at least one hook is disposed between the underlay and countertop without increasing the distance between the underlay and countertop.
9. The device of claim 1, wherein the at least one strap comprises a first series of straps interconnected to further comprise a basket through the base of which the drain of the sink can be disposed, and a second series of straps that connect to hooks at the edge of a sink.
10. The device of claim 9, wherein the first series of straps are fastened in position relative to each other, and the second series of straps are adjustable.
11. The device of claim 1, wherein the at least one hook is disposed at least six inches from the face of a cabinet, and at least six inches from the back of the cabinet.
12. The device of claim 1, wherein the sealing material comprises a continuous loop around the lip of the sink.
13. The device of claim 1, wherein the sealing material is comprised of a closed cell PVC sealing material that compresses to \u215b inch when installed.
14. A method of leak-proofing a sink, comprising the steps of:
a. placing anchoring hooks at the junction of a counter underlay and countertop sink opening;
b. attaching adjustable straps between the hooks, so that the straps are capable of supporting a sink;
c. placing the sink on the straps, and placing a water sealing material along the top lip of the sink;
d. installing a countertop over the underlay and sink; and
e. adjusting the straps to tighten them, thereby raising the sink against the underside of the countertop, compressing the sealing material.
15. The method of claim 14, wherein positioning adjustments to the straps are made to avoid plumbing fixtures after installation of the straps.
16. The method of claim 14, wherein the sink is raised to \u215c inch below the underlay after placing the sink on the straps.
17. The method of claim 14, wherein the straps are tightened by alternately tightening each strap.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A method for reporting a transmission state by an Internet Protocol (IP), the method comprising the steps of:
determining whether a discard of a datagram has occurred;
obtaining an address of a destination by parsing a discarded datagram, if the discard of a datagram has occurred; and
transmitting an Internal Control Message Protocol (ICMP) message for reporting an occurrence of the discard to the address of the destination.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the datagram is discarded due to an error andor an overflow of a router queue.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ICMP message is formed by adding an IP header including the address of the destination to an ICMP error reporting message generated according to the discard.
4. A network system for reporting a transmission state by an Internet Protocol (IP), the network system comprising:
a source terminal for transmitting a datagram;
a destination terminal for receiving the datagram; and
a router for performing routing between a network and the source terminal or the destination terminal,
wherein if discard of any datagram from the source terminal occurs, obtaining an address of the destination terminal by parsing a discarded datagram, and transmitting an Internal Control Message Protocol (ICMP) message for reporting an occurrence of the discard to the address of the destination terminal.
5. The network system as claimed in claim 4, wherein the datagram is discarded due to an error andor an overflow of a queue of the router.
6. The network system as claimed in claim 4, wherein the ICMP message is formed by adding an IP header including the address of the destination terminal to an ICMP error reporting message generated according to the datagram discard.
