For allowing a simple and reliable differentiation of UEs behind a GW from an AF side a method for providing access of an User End device (UE) to a service provided by an Application Function (AF) within a network structure is claimed, wherein the UE is authenticated by a Gateway (GW) to which the UE is attached and which provides access to the AF via a Broadband Access Network (BB Access Network). The method is characterized in that the GW informs a state database (SDB) on service flow requests to or from the authenticated UE towards the AF, that the GW additionally sends NAT (Network Address Translation) or NAPT (Network Address and Port Translation) binding information of a respective NAT or NAPT binding created by the GW regarding the authenticated UE and a respective service flow request to the SDB and that the SDB sends the NAT or NAPT binding information or an UE identifier to the AF, so that the AF—after having received the service flow request from the GW—can correlate the authenticated UE with the service flow request. Further an according network structure is claimed, preferably for carrying out the above mentioned method.

A method for mounting a device at a server in a network includes attaching the device at an anchor. A virtualized connection is set up between the anchor and the server based on a predefined anchor configuration, Temporary device information is encoded into a network flow generated by the device. It is attempted to mount the device is attempted at the server. Functions and/or data are provided to the mounted device by the server based on a successful mounting. Another server is selected for mounting the device based on an unsuccessful mounting. The network flow of the device is identified and redirected to the selected server by installing one or more forwarding rules on one or more forwarding elements of the software defined network using the temporary device information for identification of the network flow of the mounted device.
摘要:
A method for supporting transport of data packets in a network, in particular service and/or user aware transport of data packets, wherein said data packets are transmitted from a source node to a destination node by employing a tunnel from a first tunnel endpoint to a second tunnel endpoint, wherein a tunnel header is added to said data packets at said first tunnel endpoint, wherein said data packets are transmitted between said tunnel endpoints via a network domain that includes one or more intermediate nodes functioning as transport network, and wherein said intermediate nodes forward said data packets, is characterized in that said tunnel is provided in the form of a virtual tunnel by removing said tunnel header from said data packets where said data packets enter said network domain and adding back said tunnel header to said data packets where said data packets exit said network domain. Furthermore, a corresponding system for supporting transport of data packets is disclosed.

A method for service management for terminals with broadband connections, wherein the terminal is connected through a home gateway to a service connected in an operator network, the home gateway being attached to an access node of the operator network, includes the steps of monitoring whether the terminal is temporarily not using the service, delegating the service and transferring its current status and/or data to the access node, and tearing down the connection between the home gateway and the access node while operating the service in the delegated service host.

For allowing a high degree of resource consumption within a network a method for operating a network is claimed, wherein at least one end user device is connected to an access network, wherein the method is characterized in that the at least one end user device or an application on said end user device queries at least one network element of the access network and/or at least one network element attached to the access network about low layer parameters information for optimizing connection and/or protocol parameters after having received the queried low layer parameters information. Further, a network is claimed, preferably for carrying out the above mentioned method.
摘要:
A method for handling subscribers' network traffic between a CPE (customer premises equipment) and a broadband access network includes establishing a subscriber session between the CPE and a BNG (broadband network gateway, an entity within the broadband access network), to set up a network route between the CPE and the BNG. Data transmitted within the subscriber session are encapsulated into protocol frames. A NCE (network control entity) acquires a state of the subscriber session and updates network policies in at least one network entity on the network route based on the state of the subscriber session. A DEM (dynamic encapsulation module) decides, based on a DEM configuration, whether data sent to the broadband access network are encapsulated data within the subscriber session or are non-encapsulated data outside the subscriber session. The data are transmitted on a part of the network route and are handled according to the network policies.

The present invention relates also to a system for accessing service/data of a first network from a second network for service/data access via the second network.
摘要:
A method for supporting a connection between a communication device and a destination device in a target network over intermediate network nodes, in particular in the context of Internet Protocol based communication, wherein data between the communication device and the destination device is transmitted via a tunnel established between the communication device or a base station connected to the communication device, as a first tunnel endpoint and a gateway in the target network as a second tunnel endpoint. One or more dummy packets are sent via the tunnel from the first tunnel endpoint towards the second tunnel endpoint, information is encoded in the packet headers of the one or more dummy packets, and at least one of the intermediate network nodes, upon receiving the one or more dummy packets, performs the steps of detecting and/or decoding the encoded information and performing a predefined action dependent on the encoded information.
