Abstract:
The system comprising an application CSO gateway coupled to an application layer that configures and monitors a plurality of Data Center Elements storing computing resources; a network CSO gateway coupled to a network layer that configures and monitors a plurality of Network Elements and to receive requests from said ACG to configure connections, wherein the system further includes a Client entity coupled in an already deployed Network Element or in a Data Center Element configured to monitor a segment of the network where said Client entity is found; an IT-Aware Network Controller coupled to said network layer configured to run operations in and from the network regarding information of said monitored network information and of said Data Center Elements; and interfaces coupling the different elements of the system allowing the interconnection and communication between them.The method of the invention is intended to be implemented by the system of the invention.
Abstract:
The method comprising receiving, an ALTO server at a network layer, a request from an ALTO client at an application layer to obtain network cost for a connection; computing, the cost information concerning PIDs stored in the ALTO server and adapting, by a request controller, the computed cost information to an ALTO information further sending it to the ALTO server and the latter to said ALTO client; receiving, by a provisioning server, a request from a provisioning client to compute a path for setting up a connection between said PIDs and transmitting said request to a provisioning controller; mapping, the provisioning controller, said received request from the provisioning server into network addresses and computing said path according to said network addresses; and comparing, a network cost of the computed path with a cost information previously stored by the request controller in a request database.
Abstract:
A system including a live streaming optimizer server for optimal distribution of live media content, and a method for implementing the system. The system including at least one user provided with a computing device requesting a live media content; and a controller located in the distribution network of a content delivery network being adapted to receive said requesting and to transmit said requested live media content to said at least one user, and a live streaming optimizer (LISTO) server located in the transport network of said content delivery network and adapted to request said live media content to an identified content delivery network end point in a certain domain and adapted to transmit said live media content to said at least one user.
