20100110908METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ADDING LATENCY AND JITTER TO SELECTED NETWORK PACKETS - A method for adding latency and jitter to a number of selected packets transmitted between end systems within a network of end systems is described. The method includes receiving a packet identifier, the packet identifier indicating a selected packet to which latency and jitter is to be added, receiving a selected latency and jitter for the selected packet, receiving a packet, determining if the received packet is the selected packet, and forwarding the received packet to its destination if the received packet is not the selected packet. If the received packet is the selected packet, the method continues by reading a real time clock, computing a transmit time for the received packet based on the selected latency and jitter for the selected packet, and forwarding the received packet to its destination when the real time clock reaches the computed transmit time.05-06-2010

20110193314ASYMMETRICAL OR OFF-CENTER BOTTOM BRACKET - An asymmetric or off-center bottom bracket assembly suitable for a bicycle frame or other similar wheeled vehicle. According to an embodiment, the bottom bracket assembly comprises a shell or housing having a chain ring section configured for coupling a chain ring and a pedal crank section configured for receiving a pedal crank. Each of the chain ring and the pedal crank sections include a receiver for mounting or seating a bearing. According to an embodiment, the bottom bracket assembly is configured to mount the bearing or end of the chain ring section closer to the chain ring than the bearing or end of the pedal crank section to the pedal crank. According to an embodiment, the pedal crank section is configured with a linear dimension greater than the chain ring section. According to another embodiment, the pedal crank section and the chain ring section have the same linear dimensions and the bottom bracket assembly is mounted asymmetrically or off-center to the center line of the bicycle frame. According to another embodiment, the bearing mounted in the chain ring section is larger than the bearing mounted in the pedal crank section of the bottom bracket assembly.08-11-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100061281ROUTING PROTOCOL SUPPORT FOR HALF DUPLEX VIRTUAL ROUTING AND FORWARDING INSTANCE - A method, apparatus and computer program product for providing dynamic routing support for Half-Duplex Virtual Routing and Forwarding (HDVRF) environments. The method, apparatus and computer program function to configure a forwarding Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) table for a router with information to forward incoming packets to a central location within a hub and spoke environment. The method, apparatus and computer program also function to populate a routing Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) table for the router with routing information received from ingress interfaces of the router. The method, apparatus and computer program function further forwards packets received on egress interfaces of the router according to the forwarding VRF table.03-11-2010

20080307110Conditional BGP advertising for dynamic group VPN (DGVPN) clients - In a host within a group, a method for ensuring secure communications is provided. The method involves (a) determining if a group security policy is in place for secure communication between hosts within the group, (b) if the group security policy is in place, advertising routing information to another host within the group, and (c) if the group security policy is not in place, refraining from advertising routing information to the other host. Corresponding apparatus and computer program product embodiments are also provided.12-11-2008
20090185573PSUEDOWIRE TERMINATION DIRECTLY ON A ROUTER - A method, apparatus and computer program product for routing data within a packet-switched network using a PW wherein the PW is terminated directly on the layer-3 routing device such that certain services and applications can be utilized is presented. The method, apparatus and computer program product receives an encapsulated layer-2 Protocol Data Unit (PDU) from a pseudowire emulating a service. The encapsulation is removed from the encapsulated layer-2 PDU and a layer-2 circuit associated with the pseudowire is terminated. The circuit is treated as an interface and the PDU is forwarded based on upper layer protocol information within the PDU.07-23-2009
