摘要： Method and arrangement for obtaining unambiguous addressing for data packets communicated between devices (E1B, E3A) in two different local networks (A,B) using potentially overlapping private IP address spaces. A VPN tunnel is initially established between gateways (102,104) in the two local networks and an internal IP address space is defined in each network for devices in the opposite network, not overlapping with an internal IP address space used for its own devices. When the gateway (102) of one network receives a data packet from a device (E1B) in the opposite network, the packet's header is modified by changing the destination and source addresses, which belong to address spaces valid in the opposite network, into addresses belonging to address spaces valid in the present network.

摘要： Apparatus for performing load balancing among network servers connected to an internal IPv6 network. The apparatus comprises a first interface coupled to an external IPv4 or IPv6 network for receiving packets sent across the external network and an IP packet creator coupled to said first interface. This IP packet creator is configured, for each received packet at that interface, to select a network server to be allocated to the packet or identify an already allocated network server. The IP packet creator is further configured to create a corresponding IPv6 packet for transmission over said internal network to the selected or identified network server. The apparatus further comprises a second interface coupled to said internal IPv6 network for transmitting created IPv6 packets across the internal network towards respective selected or identified network servers.

摘要： The present invention relates to a method in a border node of an Autonomous System (AS) and a border node comprising a border route control unit. The border node is configured to route data packets from a source node in an originating Autonomous System to a destination node in a terminating Autonomous System, possibly via intermediate autonomous systems. The method includes determining one inter autonomous system path or multiple inter AS paths constituting a route or multiple routes, respectively, between the originating autonomous system and terminating autonomous system based on at least an energy consumption metrics of transit paths through an own autonomous system and other autonomous systems and a total energy consumption metric for each possible inter autonomous system path. The border node is adapted to store the route or the multiple routes in a border gateway routing table.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention include a communications network using end-to-end tunnels. A control unit monitors the traffic load on at least two paths, as well as determines a power saving traffic distribution if the total traffic on the at least first and second paths if the traffic load does not exceed the capacity of both or all paths between the same end nodes. The power saving traffic distribution puts at least one of the first and second paths in a standby mode in which it carries no traffic. A command unit redirects traffic according to the power saving distribution and to order at least one network element or at least one link in the path or paths to be put in standby mode to enter into a power saving standby mode.

摘要： This invention relates to a method and a node for energy efficient routing and switching in a communication network. When determining the best path from an originating node to a destination node, current routing or switching protocols use route selection metrics based on the bandwidth of the link interface. Certain paths are however consuming more power that others which can result in traffic flowing over a high power consuming and long distance path, because this is the best path based on the existing metrics. The present invention overcomes this by introducing a node and a method to switch data also using energy consumption metrics. These metrics can be based on the power consumption in link interfaces, the links and in the node.

摘要： End-to-end communication in a communications network is controlled by determining, based on monitoring of traffic in the communications network, the number of paths, or links, needed between the first and the at least second network element. If it is determined, based on the traffic load, that not all available paths are needed:—Selecting at least one path that should not be used to carry traffic,—Rerouting any traffic using the selected at least one path to at least one alternative path, and—Placing any network elements or links not carrying traffic after the rerouting in standby mode in which the power consumption of the elements is reduced, to reduce the power consumption in the network.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to methods, a system and an apparatus for detection of load balancing in a packet-switched communication network (10). According to an embodiment a plurality of test sessions(22, 23, 24, 25) are initiated, which differ with respect to at least one associated parameter value for a source address, a destination address, a source port, a destination port, or a protocol. Load detection in the packet-switched communication network (10) can be detected based on differences between measurement results (28) of different test sessions (22, 23, 24, 25) of the plurality of test sessions. Situations where one network path is measured, while application traffic (21) takes another unmeasured network path can be avoided by setting-up multiple simultaneous test sessions (22, 23, 24, 25) with differing parameter values such that the test sessions are routed differently by any hash algorithms(19a, 19b, 19c, 19d) used for load balancing across network paths.
