One example method includes identifying packets associated with the data stream. The example method may also include updating a set of characterization data associated with the data stream based on information associated with a packet. The example method may also include assigning a data stream classifier to the data stream by comparing characterization data to identification data upon determining that the set of characterization data indicates that the data stream is able to be classified. The example method may also include providing a signal associated with the data stream classifier. | 2013-09-19 |
20130242981 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENABLING PEER-TO-PEER COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ENDPOINTS ON A PER CALL BASIS - A method and apparatus for enabling a user to signal to the network that a call to be initiated or a call that is in progress needs to occur in a peer-to-peer relationship with the terminating endpoint. The network will then remove itself from the call signaling and media path and direct the signaling and media communication to occur directly between the two endpoints. | 2013-09-19 |
20130242982 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CUSTOMER SELECTED DIRECT DIALED VOICE-OVER-INTERNET PROTOCOL (VOIP) - A Voice-over-Internet protocol (VOIP) communications network system that enables direct-dialed (single-stage) access to the Internet Protocol network from the circuit-switched network. Specifically, the VOIP network system includes a VOIP service implemented on a communications system which, after a customer number has been registered for the service, automatically recognizes calls from the registered customer's telephone number and determines if the call can be routed as a VOIP call over the IP network. In embodiments of the present invention, the customer can register for the VOIP service by selecting both a provider and a calling plan or by only selecting a provider. The system can be implemented to handle intra-state, inter-state and international voice-band calls (for example, regular telephone calls, facsimile transmissions and modem initiated calls) using standard circuit-switched telephone lines, cable, twisted pair, digital subscriber line and wireless. | 2013-09-19 |
20130242983 | Servers, Switches, and Systems with Virtual Interface to External Network Connecting Hardware and Integrated Networking Driver - Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for networking communications. One method includes an operation for receiving a packet in a first format by a virtual driver providing a communications interface of a first type (CI1), the first format being for CI1. Further, the method includes an operation for encapsulating the packet in a second format by a processor, the second format being for a communications interface of a second type (CI2) different from CI1. In addition, the method includes an operation for sending the encapsulated packet in the second format to a switch module. The switch module includes a switch fabric, one or more CI1 ports, and one or more CI2 ports, and the switch module transforms the packet back to the first format to send the packet in the first format to a CI1 network via one of the CI1 ports in the switch module. | 2013-09-19 |
20130242984 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR MULTIMODE INTERNETWORKING CONNECTIVITY - This invention presents a digital network system able to concurrently provide multimode internetworking connectivity session over a plurality of disparate network systems, from User Premise Device (UPD) to NSP, CSP or ASP network gateways, and providing a plurality of internetwork environment. The invention also provide the methods for the support of the following internetworking connectivity services, concurrently:—a) public and shared-media Internet services; b) MPLS-enabled and IP-based Virtual Private Network (VPN) services; c) hybrid network system connection sessions among disparate connection-oriented and connectionless network systems; and d) end-to-end, connection-oriented, and circuit-switching connection sessions for VDMI-based application services through digital transceiver, be it xDSL or VCC-based land-line or wireless medium. | 2013-09-19 |
