| 20090265467 | Method and System for Load Balancing over a Cluster of Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) Servers - A method and system for load balancing over a cluster of authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) servers. The method performs a distribution of AAA requests among AAA servers having an active AAA connection with an AAA client. The method includes establishing TCP connections with a plurality of AAA servers, using a TCP connection request received from at least one AAA client; opening AAA connections with a plurality of AAA servers, using an AAA connection request received from at least one AAA client, and distributing AAA requests to AAA servers with an active AAA connection according to a predefined load balancing algorithm. The invention is further capable of multiplexing outbound messages and requests received from a plurality of AAA servers. The AAA protocol supported by the invention includes, but is not limited to, a Diameter protocol, a lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP), and the likes. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20090132714 | Method and System for Providing Connection Resiliency - A system, method and device for providing connection resiliency. The method including maintaining, by a first proxy, a TCP connection with a TCP client and a TCP connection with a TCP server through one or more TCP networks; maintaining information of both TCP connections by a forwarding component between the TCP networks and the first proxy; establishing, by the forwarding component, a new TCP connection with a second proxy for each of the TCP connections maintained by the first proxy; and forwarding data, to and from both the client and the server, to and from the second proxy without disconnection of the TCP connections of the TCP client and TCP server. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090043724 | Method, System and Computer Program Product for Preventing SIP Attacks - A method for preventing session initiation protocol (SIP) attacks is provided. The method includes receiving a plurality of SIP response messages comprising at least one pre-defined SIP response code, and extracting at least one user identifier from the plurality of SIP response messages. The method further includes computing at least one of a frequency of the plurality of SIP response messages and a count of the plurality of SIP response messages corresponding to each user identifier of the at least one user identifier. The method further includes calculating a degree of attack corresponding to each user identifier using at least one of the frequency and the count. The method further includes determining a monitoring interval for each user identifier based upon the degree of attack for monitoring the plurality of SIP response messages. An apparatus and a computer program product for preventing SIP attacks are also provided. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20080282254 | Geographic Resiliency and Load Balancing for SIP Application Services - A mechanism for achieving resiliency and load balancing for SIP application services and, in particular, in geographic distributed sites. A method performs a distribution of SIP requests among SIP servers, where at least two sites with a load balancer in each site is configured. The method includes receiving a SIP request by a first load balancer in a first site; determining whether the SIP request should be redirected to a second site; and redirecting the SIP request to an address of a second load balancer in the second site. The invention also includes a SIP proxy including a receiving unit receiving SIP requests; a load balancing unit distributing SIP requests between SIP entities; and a health monitoring unit verifying availability of the SIP entities. The SIP proxy may further be configured with a proximity measuring unit determining a proximity to a SIP entity. | 11-13-2008 |
