    摘要: A method is provided for reliable real-time data streaming in a multimedia delivery system. The system is implemented using a real-time protocol that is based on the well-known Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) suite which provides a framework for implementing near real-time reliable data delivery over non real-time unreliable data link layer technologies (e.g., Ethernet). These protocols provide near real-time reliable or best feasible data streaming while utilizing best effort unreliable network services (e.g., Internet). Under the Reliable protocol, an entire data block, including any missing or lost data packets, is reconstructed from all of the individual data packets through the use of a selective negative acknowledgement (NACK) mechanism. In contrast, the Best Feasible protocol sacrifices some of the data packet's reliability by not retransmitting “late” packets. An additional timing parameter encapsulated in the NACK message will facilitate the determination of whether it is “feasible” to retransmit a missing data packet. A real-time identification technique has been incorporated into the format of each transmitted data packet that allows for the identification of both its sender and intended recipient(s) without having to call an underlying socket specific function.

    摘要: A logical tree structure and method for managing membership in a multicast group provides scalability and security from internal attacks. The structure defines key groups and subgroups, with each subgroup having a subgroup manager. Dual encryption allows the sender of the multicast data to manage distribution of a first set of encryption keys whereas the individual subgroup managers manage the distribution of a second set of encryption keys. The two key sets allow the sender to delegate much of the group management responsibilities without compromising security because a key from each set is required to access the multicast data. Security is further maintained via a method in which subgroup managers can be either member subgroup managers or participant subgroup managers. Access to both keys is provided to member subgroup managers whereas access to only one key is provided to participant subgroup managers. Nodes can be added without the need to generate a new encryption key at the top level which provides improved scalability.

    摘要: A capability is provided for providing transparent cloud computing with a virtualized network infrastructure. A method for enabling use of a resource of a data center as an extension of a customer network includes receiving, at a forwarding element (FE), a packet intended for a virtual machine hosted at an edge domain of the data center, determining a VLAN ID of the VLAN for the customer network in the edge domain, updating the packet to include the VLAN ID of the VLAN for the customer network in the edge domain, and propagating the updated packet from the FE toward virtual machine. The edge domain supports a plurality of VLANs for a respective plurality of customer networks. The packet includes an identifier of the customer network and a MAC address of the virtual machine. The VLAN ID of the VLAN for the customer network in the edge domain is determined using the identifier of the customer network and the MAC address of the virtual machine. The FE may be associated with the edge domain at which the virtual machine is hosted, an edge domain of the data center that is different than the edge domain at which the virtual machine is hosted, or the customer network. Depending on the location of the FE at which the packet is received, additional processing may be provided as needed.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention are methods for selecting, out of a lineup of IPTV channels, a subset of channels for caching. The methods take into account viewers' tendency to walk through the channels that lie between their current channel and their desired channel if that walking distance is short, and, alternatively, viewers' tendency to jump to a distant channel. Accordingly, embodiments of the present invention include any channel selection method which selects for caching any number of channels less than the entire lineup, and where at least two of those channels form a segment of adjacent channels. Other embodiments include methods which rely upon specific extrinsic data, e.g., IGMP and EPG information, for selecting a subset of channels to be cached.
