20090031394 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR INTER-RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SERVICE TYPE DESCRIPTIONS - Communication nodes, systems and methods are described which provide access screening for services based upon service type description information and policy criteria information associated with an access network. If a requested service is, e.g., banned due to regulatory policies in a geographic region associated with a particular access network, then the requested service shall be denied even if the user has a valid subscription to such requested service via another access network. | 01-29-2009 |
20090274148 | EFFICIENT PATH SETUP IN A PROVIDER BACKBONE BRIDGE NETWORK - In a provider backbone-traffic engineering network, a method and a bridge node are provided for setting up path between edge bridges connected to customer premises. A first edge bridge advertises towards peer edge bridges a tuple comprising a port identity and a layer two address. When it needs to set up a path towards the first edge bridge, one of the peer edge bridges uses information in the tuple to compute a path label. | 11-05-2009 |
20120044936 | Methods and Devices for Point to Multipoint Traffic Path Encoding - The present invention relates to network nodes and methods that use an encoding scheme for encoding a point-to-multipoint traffic path from one ingress node to a plurality of egress nodes in, for example, a Multi-Protocol Label Switching network. According to the encoding scheme a so-called common ERO is used. The common ERO specifies a list consisting of nodes that are common to several sub paths in order to provide a compression mechanism that reduces the size of path messages that are used for signaling the point-to-multipoint traffic path. | 02-23-2012 |
20120230187 | LOAD BALANCING SCTP ASSOCIATIONS USING VTAG MEDIATION - Presented is a system and methods for routing Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) between a client and a back-end server by a front-end server operating transparently between the client and the back-end server. The front-end server uses a distribution key created by the front-end server to route the SCTP packets to the proper destination. The distribution key is comprised of a client SCTP port number, a back-end server SCTP port number and a back-end server Initiate-Tag. The front-end server arbitrates clashes between distribution keys of different back-end servers by replacing the back-end server generated SCTP Initiate-Tag with a front-end server generated SCTP Initiate-Tag. | 09-13-2012 |
20120233240 | SCTP ASSOCIATION ENDPOINT RELOCATION IN A LOAD BALANCING SYSTEM - Presented is a system and methods for relocating a Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) association from a first back-end server to a second back-end server without disturbing the SCTP association connection. The front-end server coordinates the replacement by requesting SCTP association connection parameters from the first back-end server and providing the SCTP association connection parameters to the second back-end server. Further, the front-end server discards any SCTP association packets, not necessary to the replacement, directed to the two back-end servers during the replacement. Throughout the replacement, the client, on the non-relocating end of the SCTP association, is unaware of the replacement or the existence of the front-end server. | 09-13-2012 |
20120254384 | SCTP ENDPOINT MIGRATION - An application is seamlessly migrated from one SCTP endpoint to another SCTP endpoint by determining if the application is to be migrated from a first SCTP endpoint associated with a second SCTP endpoint to a third SCTP endpoint, and migrating the application from the first SCTP endpoint to the third SCTP endpoint at the SCTP layer without packet loss occurring as a result of the migration. | 10-04-2012 |
20120331160 | MULTI-PATH TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROTOCOL PROXY SERVICE - A method of providing multi-path proxy services includes receiving a first transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) connection request from a client device at a proxy server, the connection request specifying that the client device is capable of establishing a multi-path TCP/IP connection, establishing a single path TCP/IP connection from the proxy server to a serving node in response to receiving the connection request, establishing first and second TCP/IP connections between the proxy server and the client device as multi-path TCP/IP sub-flows between the proxy server and the client device, and proxying communications between the client device and the serving node over the first and second TCP/IP connections as multipath TCP/IP sub-flows between the client device and the proxy server and the single path TCP/IP connection between the proxy server and the serving node. | 12-27-2012 |
20140181800 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR A SOFTWARE BUILD AND LOAD PROCESS USING A COMPILATION AND DEPLOYMENT SERVICE - Systems, methods, and computer program products for a software build and load process using a compilation and deployment service. A method for a software build and load process using a compilation and deployment service includes receiving, at the service, new software. The method further includes comparing, at the service, the received new software with data in a database, wherein the data comprises active software. The method further includes merging, at the service said new software and active software into one or more load modules based on the comparison. The method further includes deploying the one or more load modules to one or more target processing units. | 06-26-2014 |
