| 20080229379 | Method and apparatus providing scalability for channel change requests in a switched digital video system - A method, apparatus and computer program product for providing scalability for channel change requests in a Switched Digital Video system is presented. A request for a channel change is received. A determination is made regarding whether a channel requested by the request for a channel change is currently being provided to the settop box. When the channel requested by the request for a channel change is being provided to the settop box then the request for a channel change is buffered for transmission at a later time. When the channel requested by the request for a channel change is not being provided to the settop box then the request for a channel change is immediately sent to an SDV server in communication with the settop box. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080320303 | VPN PROCESSING VIA SERVICE INSERTION ARCHITECTURE - In one embodiment, a method can include: (i) sending a request to join a group to a service broker; (ii) receiving from the service broker a list of key servers servicing the group; and (iii) sending registration information to a selected one of the key servers in the list. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20090097409 | Dynamic Selection Between Active and Passive Probing in Computer Network - In one embodiment, during network operation, it is dynamically determined whether to change from passive probing of communication path metrics to active probing of communication path metrics. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090175194 | IP SECURITY WITHIN MULTI-TOPOLOGY ROUTING - A method for IP Security within Multi-Topology Routing is disclosed. Disclosed methods may also include IKE extensions. A route eligible for IPSec protection is injected into a topology routing table. Network traffic can then be protected in accordance with a security session, such as an IPSec session, between a first network node and a second network node and forwarded through a selected topology to take advantage of the service-differentiation capabilities of MTR. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20100085977 | Optimized Dynamic Multipoint Virtual Private Network Over IPv6 Network - Method and apparatus including registering a first spoke router with a hub router, forwarding an Internet Protocol version Four (IPv4) data packet from the first spoke router to a second spoke router over an Internet Protocol version Six (IPv6) multipoint tunnel via the hub router, transmitting a binding information associated with the first spoke router from the hub router to the second spoke router, and establishing a direct communication path by the second spoke router with the first spoke router based on the received binding information are provided. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100227493 | INTERFACE CONNECTION MANAGEMENT USING A REMOVABLE ADAPTER FOR COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT - An interface comprising a docking site having a first electrical connector adapted to interconnect a bus, and having at least one first retainer portion; and an adapter comprising: at least one second retainer portion, wherein the at least one second retainer portion and the at least one first retainer portion are adapted to releasably engage; a second electrical connector, wherein the second electrical connector and the first electrical connector are adapted to engage and interconnect; at least one port adapted to accept at least one modular connector having at least one electrical contact; and at least one electrical interconnect adapted to interconnect the at least one electrical contact with the second electrical connector. | 09-09-2010 |

| 20090052466 | COMMUNICATION PATH SELECTION - In an example embodiment, a method for selecting a communication path is provided. The method may comprise receiving data encapsulated in a transport protocol. In addition, a classification type and exit path information associated with the classification type may be received. The data is associated with the classification type and then is encapsulated in Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) based on the exit path information. This exit path information is associated with the classification type that is associated with the data. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090122985 | DISTRIBUTION OF GROUP CRYPTOGRAPHY MATERIAL IN A MOBILE IP ENVIRONMENT - In one embodiment, a Home Agent receives a Mobile IP registration request from a group member, where the group member is a Mobile Node. The Home Agent generates a mobility binding for the group member that associates the group member with a care-of address, wherein the group member is a member of one or more groups. The Home Agent generates a Mobile IP registration reply, where the Mobile IP registration reply identifies one or more key servers. Each of the one or more key servers serves at least one of the one or more groups and is adapted for distributing group cryptography material to members of each group that is served by the corresponding key server. The Home Agent sends the Mobile IP registration reply to the group member, thereby enabling the group member to obtain cryptography material for at least one of the one or more groups from at least one of the one or more key servers to enable the group member to use the cryptography group material to securely communicate with other group members. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090161668 | DYNAMIC CLASSIFICATION OF INTERNET PROTOCOL PACKETS BASED ON MEASURED CHARACTERISTICS AND INTERNET PROTOCOL ADDRESS PREFIX - In an example embodiment, a method is provided where a characteristic of a flow of Internet Protocol (IP) packet is measured. Here, the flow is associated with an IP address prefix. Further, an attribute of a routing protocol is associated with the IP address prefix based on the characteristic. An advertisement then is transmitted by way of a routing protocol. The advertisement includes the attribute and the IP address prefix associated with the attribute. Another method is provided where the advertisement is received. Here, the IP address prefix is associated with a class of service that is associated with the attribute. An IP packet associated with the IP address prefix is received and this IP packet is classified to a class of service based on the IP address prefix. The IP packet then is marked with a value that is associated with the class of service. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20100271964 | FLOW REDIRECTION EMPLOYING STATE INFORMATION - In an example embodiment, there is disclosed an apparatus comprising a first interface configured to receive a packet from a client, a second interface configured to transmit the packet to a server, a third interface configured to communicate with at least one processing device, redirection module in communication with the first interface, the second interface and the third interface, and flow monitoring and state information module in communication with the first interface, the second interface, the third interface and the redirection module. Responsive to receipt of the packet on the first interface, the redirection module is operable to communicate with the flow monitoring and state information module whether state information exists for the packet, the state information comprising an address for a processing device. The redirection module is operable to route the packet to the processing device responsive to determining state information exists for the packet. | 10-28-2010 |
