    摘要: A generic service node that operates in a first state while waiting for instructions to adopt a specific service. Upon receiving the instructions, the generic service node operates in a second state where the node installs software received from a network to enable the generic service node to provide the specific service to the network. The generic service node is in communication with a control node or nodes such that the generic service node can be adapted to provide a particular service as requested by the control node(s).

    摘要: As described herein, explicit service ordering information may be associated with each of a plurality of logical services in a service path. A unique sequence number, for example, may be assigned, and associated with each service in the path. The sequence number may be assigned by a service broker in the control plane of a service insertion architecture that provides a platform-independent framework to insert services into a network. The sequence number may represent the relative ordering of the service with respect to the other services in the path. The sequence number, along with a traffic classification identifier, constitutes the shared context that is tagged to the packet injected into the chain which is used in the SIA data plane to virtualize and uniquely select series of services defined in the policy.

    摘要: A system for selectively applying a service to a packet in a network. In a specific embodiment, the system includes a mechanism for encoding service information in a network-compatible packet header and providing encoded data in response thereto. In a more specific embodiment, the network-compatible header includes a Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) header, a Generic Route Encapsulation (GRE) header, and/or a Layer-2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) header.

    摘要: Particular embodiments provide power usage management for network devices according to historical traffic pattern data. Network traffic statistics for traffic flowing through a network device may be determined. A traffic pattern for a time period based on the traffic flowing through the network device is then determined. The network device may then manage power based on the pattern. For example, when a pattern indicates that traffic flowing through the network device is light during a time period, then the network device may operate in a lower power mode, such as a standby mode and when it indicates that there is higher usage, the network device may operate in a normal power mode. In one embodiment, a power usage policy may be determined based on the historical traffic patterns and is automatically enforced by the network device. The power usage policy may also be dynamically adjusted over time based on network traffic statistics.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a first network device receives a control message in a first protocol from a client, the control message in the first protocol being addressed to a second network device. The first network device identifies an existing connection in a second protocol that is associated with the second network device. The first network device establishes a connection in the first protocol with the client according to a status of the existing connection in the second protocol that is associated with the second network device.

    摘要: A system for interfacing different types of network communications. In one embodiment, the system includes one or more gateways capable of converting messages from messages that are adapted for a first type of network and/or destination device to messages that are adapted for a second type of network and/or destination device. The second type of network and/or destination device includes a first Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) communications device. A message-analysis module is adapted to employ an address associated with the message to selectively forward the message to one or more of the one or more gateways and/or to a destination device. In a more specific embodiment, the first type of network includes a packet-switched network in communication with the first VOIP phone. The destination device includes a mobile phone in communication with a cellular network. In the specific embodiment, the first type of destination device includes a user option to selectively transition a text-based communications session to a voice-based communications session.

    摘要: In an example embodiment, a method for selective performance enhancement of traffic flows, such as a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) flow, on devices where enhancement of a limited number of concurrent flows is supported, or where a limited number of TCP accelerated or IP (Internet Protocol) compressed flows are supported. Flows are selected to be enhanced, accelerated or compressed based on configured priorities, including but not limited to type of the flow, importance of the flow, and availability of resources to enhance, accelerate or compress the flow. For example, a high-priority TCP session is accelerated for the lifetime of the session, while a low-priority TCP session is accelerated while there are available resources for the low-priority flow.
