摘要： Event processing in rate limited network devices is described. An event receiver is notified of a backlog condition and may respond by increasing the rate limit for the network device. If an event queue on the network device overflows, event messages may be diverted to an event message overflow store or to a network location. Later, the messages may be retrieved after the overflow condition has cleared. As a result, critical messages or events such as Syslog messages are not lost when a rate limited network device cannot deliver the messages to a network management station.

摘要： A method includes receiving a request to provision a path associated with at least a portion of a packet network and determining whether a router is associated with the path in the packet network. The method also includes provisioning a first connection between a first gateway and a second gateway when the router is not associated with the path. The method further includes provisioning a second connection between the first gateway and the router and a third connection between the router and the second gateway when the router is associated with the path. In addition, the method includes at least one of associating and disassociating a first endpoint of the first gateway and a second endpoint of the second gateway with one or more of the connections.

摘要： A method is disclosed for transmitting system management requests to computer systems along a network path using a network control protocol, such as RSVP. For example, an originating node may send a single system management request along a path to a destination node using a network control protocol. Each computer system along the network path may analyze the network control protocol message to determine whether the message contains a system management request. If a system management request is found in the message, the computer system may perform the system management function identified in the request, and respond to it.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for efficient decentralized information dissemination in a network are discussed herein. The decentralized information dissemination techniques are based on non-deterministic protocols such as gossip-based protocols. An example method for dissemination of information in a network can include: selecting a destination node from a set of neighboring nodes using a gossip-based protocol; transmitting a message to the destination node; and receiving a feedback response from the destination node. The feedback response can include a level of usefulness of the message to the destination node. In addition, each neighboring node in the set can be associated with a selection weight, and the selection weights can be related to a probability of selecting each neighboring node in the set as the destination node using the gossip-based protocol. Upon receiving the feedback response, the method can include adjusting the selection weight of the destination node based on the feedback response.

摘要： A method, device, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for automatically activating a probe configured to generate test network traffic in response to evaluating a policy that accounts for aggregated information that describes traffic that was processed by a network device. The method includes storing a policy, and evaluating the policy based at least in part on an item of received aggregated information that describes a set of packets that were processed by the network device and sent or received on a network. The probe is activated at least partially in response to evaluating the policy. The probe generates test packets to emulate one or more applications, services, or devices communicating on the network.

摘要： A uniquely configured data structure is used to store event information for each network entity, where logical and physical dependency relationships among entities are captured in the data structure. For each entity, the data structure is configured to store (a) a “genuine event set”, which includes a list of events that originated in association with the entity; and (b) a “derived event set”, which includes a list of records in which each record is associated with an event that originated in association with an entity that has a dependency relationship (e.g., layering or topological) with the entity. The derived event set may simply comprise references to the genuine event sets for entities that have a dependency relationship with the entity.

摘要： A method for managing packet voice networks using a virtual switch approach and abstract information model approach is disclosed. A virtual switch object represents a virtual switch having a media gateway controller and one or more associated media gateways. User input specifies a configuration operation on the virtual switch and one or more parameter values. One or more configuration instructions are automatically issued to both the media gateway controller and the media gateway, resulting in configuring both the media gateway controller and the media gateway as specified in the user input. As a result, a user can configure or operate on a virtual switch as an atomic entity, for example, in a network management application, without involvement in complicated details of the actual network devices that provide a particular packet voice service.
