20100318628 | NETWORK-BASED GEO-LOCATION IDENTIFICATION OF AN END-USER DEVICE - A device receives a connection from a user device, and provides, to a database, connection information associated with the user device. The device receives, from the database, user device information based on the connection information, where the user device information includes a location associated with the user device. The device also receives a trigger instructing the device to provide the user device information to a content provider device, and provides the user device information to the content provider device when the trigger is received. | 12-16-2010 |
20110116376 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING INTEGRATED CONTENT DELIVERY - An approach is provided for integrated content delivery. A request for content stored on a disk array of a router is received. In response to the request, one or more disks of the disk array are selected to retrieve the content, wherein the disk array is natively coupled to a switch fabric of the router. A path is determined through the switch fabric for transmission of the content. | 05-19-2011 |
20110122874 | HETEROGENEOUS FORWARDING INFORMATION BASES IN LINE CARDS - A device may include a control module configured to distribute sets of routing entries to line cards, each of the sets including a portion of a master table for looking up routes based on network addresses. In addition, the device may include a first one of the line cards configured to receive one of the sets of routing entries, store the received set of routing entries in a local table, receive a packet from a network, obtain a routing entry using the local table based on an address associated with the packet, and send the obtained packet to a second one of the line cards, the second line card associated with the routing entry. Further, the device may include the second line card configured to forward the packet toward the address in the network. | 05-26-2011 |
20110122883 | SETTING AND CHANGING QUEUE SIZES IN LINE CARDS - A device may include a first line card and a second line card. The first line card may include a memory including queues. In addition, the first line card may include a processor. The processor may identify, among the queues, a queue whose size is to be modified, change the size of the identified queue, receive a packet, insert a header cell associated with the packet in the identified queue, identify a second line card from which the packet is to be sent to another device in a network, remove the header cell from the identified queue, and forward the header cell to the second line card. The second line card may receive the header cell from the first line card, and send the packet to the other device in the network. | 05-26-2011 |
20110122889 | JUST-IN-TIME FORWARDING INFORMATION BASE - A device may include a line card and a control module. The line card may include a memory that stores a local routing table. The line card may request a routing entry from a routing table, receive the routing entry, insert the routing entry in the local routing table, and age out stale routing entries from the local routing table. The control module may include the routing table. The control module may distribute the routing entry in the routing table to the line card. | 05-26-2011 |
20110125873 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING SENSOR OVERLAY NETWORKS - A system and method for providing a sensor overlay network is disclosed. The system may comprise a control module configured to receive and respond to data requests; a forwarding module configured to receive a data request from at least one network element and forward a response to the data request to the at least one network element, wherein the data request is directed to a control module; and a sensor module, communicatively coupled to the forwarding module and control module, configured to emulate the control module by receiving and responding to the data request from the forwarding module and handle data traffic received from the forwarding module. | 05-26-2011 |
20110138451 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AN INTERCEPT CHAIN OF CUSTODY PROTOCOL - Techniques for establishing a chain of custody for intercepted electronic information are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method, comprising securely negotiating a data collection interval time and protocol support for electronic data collection between network equipment associated with a data collecting party and network equipment associated with a data receiving party, receiving a nonce at a network equipment associated with the data collecting party from network equipment associated with the data receiving party, utilizing the nonce to compute, at least in part, a hash value at network equipment associated with the data collecting party, collecting electronic data at an intercept access device at network equipment associated with the data collecting party, utilizing the nonce and the hash value to transmit the collected electronic data to network equipment associated with the data receiving party, and utilizing the hash value to establish a chain of custody between the data collecting party and the data receiving party. | 06-09-2011 |
20120155250 | METHOD AND SYSTEM OF PROVIDING MICRO-FACILITIES FOR NETWORK RECOVERY - An approach provides micro-facilities for network recovery. An outage condition is detected, and is associated with one of a plurality of service provider facilities forming a service provider network. A router of the service provider network is determined to be capable of reaching the one service provider facility, wherein the provider router is resident within a customer facility. Bandwidth is allocated to one or more links for re-directing traffic over the provider router to the one service provider facility. | 06-21-2012 |
20130028258 | CACHED ROUTING SERVICE - A device may receive a packet, determine whether the received packet is encapsulated with a first header associated with a cached routing service, and determine whether the received packet is to be provided with the cached routing service when the received packet is not encapsulated with the first header associated with the cached routing service. In response to determining that the received packet is to be provided with the cached routing service, the device may encapsulate the received packet with a second header associated with the cached routing service, send the encapsulated packet toward a destination of the packet, and store the encapsulated packet in a buffer in a memory. | 01-31-2013 |
20130031170 | DISTRIBUTED CONTENT CACHING - A content server farm in a host network may be configured to receive a message indicating that content is to be downloaded to a content consumer device in the host network different from a partner network. A first copy of the content is stored at an originating content provider device in the partner network. A path for downloading the first copy of the content from the originating content provider device in the partner network to the content consumer device in the host network includes peering points that connect the host network to the partner network. The content server farm may determine whether a second copy of the content is cached at the content server farm in the host network, acquire the content when the second copy of the content is not cached at the content server farm in the host network, cache the content as the second copy at one or more locations in the content server farm in the host network, and generate indices that correspond to the second copy of the content and the locations at which the second copy of the content is stored. | 01-31-2013 |
