| 20080205071 | LIGHTING APPARATUS - A lighting apparatus that includes an outer housing defining an intake vent and an exhaust vent, an inner housing disposed within the interior of the outer housing, and an air path defined between the outer housing and the inner housing. The outer housing includes a cover, a top and a plurality of side walls that define the interior, and the inner housing includes a top and a plurality of side walls that correspond to the top and plurality of side walls of the outer housing. The air entering the outer housing through the intake vent travels along the air path and exits the outer housing through the exhaust vent. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080216398 | INDOOR GREENHOUSE - Described herein is an indoor greenhouse that includes a rack unit, an outer layer that surrounds the rack unit and defines a greenhouse interior, at least one light surrounded by a light enclosure, a cooling system, and a ventilation system all disposed in the greenhouse interior. The ventilation system includes a fan, a filter and at least one duct that cooperate to exhaust air out of the exhaust vent opening. The rack unit includes a top, a bottom, and an intermediate portion extending therebetween. The outer layer includes a top, a bottom, and an intermediate portion extending therebetween that correspond to the similar portions of the rack unit. The outer layer also has intake and exhaust vent and light cooling openings defined therein. The cooling system includes at least one duct that cooperates with the light enclosure to define an air path between the intake and exhaust light cooling openings. | 09-11-2008 |

| 20090041038 | Scalable Virtual Private Local Area Network Service - In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a data link layer packet, such as an Ethernet packet, at a local provider edge node in a provider network from a first customer edge node of multiple customer edge nodes connected directly to the local provider edge node. A tunnel data packet for a particular tunneling protocol is generated. The tunnel data packet includes tunnel data that indicates tunnel termination at a different provider edge in the provider network. The tunnel data packet also includes customer identifier data and the data link layer packet. The customer identifier data uniquely indicates a customer associated with the first customer edge node. The tunnel data packet is sent over the provider network. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090154466 | Techniques for Migrating a Point to Point Protocol to a Protocol for an Access Network - Techniques for managing a persistent session associated with a particular Media Access Control (MAC) include determining at a broadband remote access server whether an elapsed time since a data packet is received with the particular MAC address exceeds a threshold time. If so, then point-to-point protocol (PPP) control data is sent in a data link protocol payload that is encapsulated in a data packet with an Ethernet destination field that indicates the particular MAC address. The PPP control data indicates a request for an echo. It is determined whether a data packet with the particular MAC address in an Ethernet source field is received within a particular time interval. If not, then a session associated with the particular MAC address is terminated. These techniques allow PPP control plane functionality while utilizing IP over Ethernet for the data plane. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090201811 | Load Balancing Manipulation of Packet Flows Within a Transport Conduit - Disclosed are, inter alia, methods, apparatus, computer-readable media, mechanisms, and means for load balancing manipulation of packet flows within a transport conduit (e.g., a tunnel, pseudo wire, etc.), typically using a load balancing value which is independent of standard routing-based parameters (e.g., source address, destination address, source port, destination port, protocol type, etc.). A load balancing value is included in encapsulated packets transported across a network using a transport conduit. This load balancing value can be used to load balance the individual flows/microflows within the transport conduit. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20100202321 | IPv6 ADDRESSING OVER NON-IPv6 SYSTEMS - A system includes an access node having an associated identifier. The access node is configured to insert the identifier into a network connection request. The system includes an IP edge service node connected to the access node and configured to receive the network connection request. The IP edge service node is further configured to store the inserted identifier and to insert the identifier into an Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) address request transmitted according to dynamic host configuration protocol version 6 (DHCPv6) through an established network connection based on the network connection request. The system further includes a server configured to receive the IPv6 address request and assign an IPv6 address based on the IPv6 address request. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20110019677 | Limiting of Network Device Resources Responsive to IPv6 Originating Entity Identification - Methods, apparatus, computer-storage media, mechanisms, and means associated therewith are used to limit network device resources based on the identification of the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) originating entity (e.g., subscriber of a network carrier). As an IPv6 originating entity will typically be assigned 264 or more valid IPv6 addresses, the originating entity may send packets with a source address of any of these valid IPv6 addresses and still be compliant with Internet standards and/or other specifications (e.g., RFCs). By determining the originating entity and controlling the allocation of network device resources based on the originating entity (in contrast to on a per valid IPv6 address basis), a network service provider can manage its network device resources, such as in a manner to prevent a depletion of resources caused by an originating entity using a plethora valid IPv6 addresses, or a malicious denial-of-service attack. | 01-27-2011 |
