Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090274156CARRIER ETHERNET OVER DOCSIS - A network includes a provider edge device with logic to encapsulate Ethernet frames received from customer equipment into Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) frames using Layer Two Tunneling Protocol. The provider edge device further includes logic to implement a virtual switch instance (VSI).11-05-2009

20080285592Extended layer two tunneling protocol applications and architectures - A device, deployed at the edge of a provider network, includes logic to receive traffic from one or more customer edge devices, and to encapsulate the customer traffic into a Layer 2 tunnel of an IP frame. The IP frame in further included within an Ethernet frame, and quality of service priority bits are promoted from the customer traffic into both the IP frame and the Ethernet frame.11-20-2008

20080232801METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSPORTING DOCSIS COMMUNICATION SIGNALS OVER A PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORK - A translation agent adapts DOCSIS information, primarily QoS information, for transmission over a PON. The agent places into an IP address field of a DHCP message the MAC address of an ONU associated with a CPE device attempting to register with a CMTS. The translation agent intercepts DHCP reply messages from the DHCP server using the MAC address of the ONU. The translation agent extracts information, including an IP address of the client CPE assigned by the DHCP server. The agent downloads a configuration file for the CPE device using the configuration filename and configuration file server contained in a DHCP reply message. Information contained in the configuration file is converted from content in a format used by DOCSIS, to content in a format used by PON devices. The translated content includes QoS parameters, functions related to which are controlled at the ONU by an OLT coupled to the CMTS.09-25-2008
