Abstract:
A method and nodes are provided for localizing traffic between communication nodes receiving service from a same network. A local mobility anchor informs media access gateways providing access to two communication nodes of each other's addresses. Traffic exchanged between the two communication nodes connected to the same network via these media access gateways are routed directly between the gateways, bypassing the local mobility anchor.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are described which provide communication between a correspondent node and a mobile node including receiving a home prefix of the mobile node and a list of correspondent nodes by a mobile access gateway having an access link with the mobile node and submitting proxy binding update messages by the mobile access gateway to a home agent corresponding to the mobile node and to each of the correspondent nodes in the list.
Abstract:
A method and access point (AP) for providing real-time service access to a user equipment in a packet data network. The AP receives an authentication information message from an authentication server. The authentication information message includes an identity of the UE involved in a real-time service with a corresponding node and information data for authenticating the UE at the AP. The AP detects that the UE enters the zone coverage of the AP and sends a puzzle from the AP to the UE. The AP further receives from the UE an answer for the puzzle and verifies the received answer for authenticating the UE at the AP. Afterwards, the UE is allowed to continue the real-time service with the corresponding node.
Abstract:
Antenna sharing techniques are described. A mobile computing device may comprise an antenna, a switch to couple to the antenna, and multiple transceivers to couple to the switch. The mobile computing device may also comprise an antenna management module to couple to the switch and the transceivers. The antenna management module may control the switch to electrically connect one of the transceivers to the antenna. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Abstract:
A system and method for virtualizing a flow switch to be used by application providers in a cloud computing environment is provided. An application provider's packet handling rules are received by a cloud management system. The rules are translated from the application provider's overlay topology to the underlay data center topology. The underlay network elements involved in the received rules can be identified. A translated rule can be decomposed into a plurality of rule portions which are transmitted to the appropriate underlay network elements.
Abstract:
A system and method for steering traffic through a set of services is provided. A service path or service chain is assigned to a received packet based on a classification of the packet and correlation of the packet with a traffic flow. A new service chain identifier can be created if no such correlation exists. A next service type and a particular instance of the next service type can be determined in accordance with the service chain identifier. A next destination for the traffic can be set in accordance with the instance of the next service.
Abstract:
Methods, network address translation (NAT) devices, network nodes and system for allowing identification of a private device in a public network or treating traffic of a private device in a public network. The NAT may allocate a private IPv4 address to the private device, reserve a block of ports on the public IPv4 address for the private device and send an identification of the block of ports to a network node in the public network. The network node of the public network may receive an identification of a block of ports on the public IPv4 address indicating that the block of ports is reserved for the private device and activate a rule for treating traffic of the private device.
Abstract:
Systems and methods provide for authenticating a device. A method for authenticating a device can include receiving, at communications node, a first message, wherein the first message includes a first Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) packet which includes an EAP (Identify) ID response and a first destination address; generating, by the communications node, a second message, wherein the second message includes the first EAP ID response and a second destination address which is different from the first destination address; and transmitting, by the communications node, the second message toward the second destination address.
