| 20120224587 | LOCATOR RESOLUTION IN COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS - A set of globally-reachable attachment registers is provided for objects in an internetwork of interconnected communications networks. “Objects” can be networks, hosts or terminals, or passive objects which themselves do not have a network interface. Each attachment register corresponds to an object in the internetwork. The attachment registers are not located with their respective object. Information is stored in the attachment registers that establishes one or more logical links between the attachment registers. The information is used to perform one or more network communication functions, and in particular to determine a locator by identifying a logical path, along the logical links between attachment registers, from a destination attachment register corresponding to the destination object. Other non-limiting example functions include location registration and update, name to global locator resolution, routing, multi-homing, dynamic ISP selection, and handover. | 2012-09-06 |
| 20120224588 | DYNAMIC NETWORKING OF VIRTUAL MACHINES - The invention is directed to the use of Provider Backbone Bridging (PBB) technology with Shortest Path Bridging, also called Provider Link State Bridging (PLSB) technology in the context of data centers and virtualized physical servers infrastructures. Virtual servers can be located anywhere inside the data center, or across different data centers, and still act as though they are physically adjacent and share the same Ethernet connectivity. Ethernet virtual machine VLan memberships are mapped to PBB Service Identifiers (I-SIDs). PBB I-SIDs extend the connectivity model to every Ethernet switches in the local, metropolitan or wide area networks. PLSB complements the connectivity by providing dynamic distribution and mapping of I-SID endpoints in the PBB domain. Virtual servers can then be added, removed or transferred to another point in the network and PLSB adjusts the VLan/I-SID specific connectivity pattern to match the physical distribution of the servers. | 2012-09-06 |
| 20120224589 | RELAY STATION AND RELAY METHOD - A relay station for relaying data between first and second ring networks, each of the first and the second ring networks including a plurality of stations includes a first transmission and receiving circuit transmitting and receiving data to and from the first ring network; a second transmission and receiving circuit transmitting and receiving the data to and from the second ring network; and a switch that, when a destination of the data received by the first transmission and receiving circuit is one of the stations included in the second ring network, inputs the data to the second transmission and receiving circuit, and, when a destination of the data received by the second transmission and receiving circuit is another of the stations included in the first ring network, inputs the data to the first transmission and receiving circuit. | 2012-09-06 |
