The method also includes installing a new rule group comprising the one or more currently deployed rules of the existing rule group and one or more new rules associated with the first user and not currently installed within a forwarding plane. The method also includes applying each rule of the new rule group to network traffic associated with the first user. | 01-03-2013 |
| 20130007286 | USER SESSION ROUTING BETWEEN MOBILE NETWORK GATEWAYS - In general, techniques are described for dynamically redirecting session requests received with a mobile network gateway to another gateway of the mobile network. Heterogeneous static and dynamic capabilities among gateways of the mobile network lead some gateways unable to service a particular session requested by a wireless device attached to the mobile network. A set of policies configured within the gateways by a mobile network operator and applied by the gateway enable the gateway to identify and offload session requests to another gateway of the mobile network that has the present capability to service the session. The policies may define conditions and actions to provide flexible routing of the user session to an appropriate gateway. | 01-03-2013 |
| 20140198794 | CONNECTING MULTIPLE CUSTOMER SITES OVER A WIDE AREA NETWORK USING AN OVERLAY NETWORK - A method and apparatus for connecting multiple customer sites over a wide area network (WAN) using an overlay network is described. In one embodiment of the invention, each one of multiple customer edge (CE) routers establishes a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) session with one or more BGP route reflectors and announces their private IP network prefixes and one or more transport IP addresses to reach that CE router. The BGP route reflector(s) reflect those IP network prefixes and the one or more transport IP addresses to reach that specific CE router to the other CE routers. The CE routers receive those reflected IP network prefixes and the corresponding transport IP address(es) to reach that CE router in which those IP network prefixes belong and register them in their corresponding routing/forwarding data structures. In this way, the CE routers learn how to reach each other. | 07-17-2014 |

When the system is powered on, the system processor is held in a reset mode, while a microcontroller in the system identifies an external device to be booted, and then copies a portion of boot code from the external device to an on-chip memory. The microcontroller can then direct the reset vector to the boot code in the on-chip memory and brings the system processor out of reset. The system processor can execute the boot code in-place on the on-chip memory, which initiates the system memory and the second stage boot loader. | 08-21-2014 |
| 20150098469 | TCP SEGMENTATION OFFLOAD IN A SERVER ON A CHIP - A system and method are provided for performing transmission control protocol segmentation on a server on a chip using coprocessors on the server chip. A system processor manages the TCP/IP stack and prepares a large (64 KB) single chunk of data to be sent out via a network interface on the server on a chip. The system software processes this and calls the interface device driver to send the packet out. The device driver, instead of sending the packet out directly on the interface, calls a coprocessor interface and delivers some metadata about the chunk of data to the interface. The coprocessor segments the chunk of data into a maximum transmission unit size associated with the network interface and increments a sequential number field in the header information of each packet before sending the segments to the network interface. | 04-09-2015 |
| 20150324306 | FLOW PINNING IN A SERVER ON A CHIP - Various embodiments provide for a system on a chip or a server on a chip that performs flow pinning, where packets or streams of packets are enqueued to specific queues, wherein each queue is associated with a respective core in a multiprocessor/multi-core system or server on a chip. With each stream of packets, or flow, assigned to a particular processor, the server on a chip can process and intake packets from multiple queues from multiple streams from the same single Ethernet interface in parallel. Each of the queues can issue interrupts to their assigned processors, allowing each of the processors to receive packets from their respective queues at the same time. Packet processing speed is therefore increased by receiving and processing packets in parallel for different streams. | 11-12-2015 |
