摘要:
Certain exemplary embodiments provide a method for converting data packets based upon IPv4 protocol into data packets based upon IPv6 protocol, said method comprising converting any data packet based upon the IPv4 protocol into a data packet based upon the IPv6 protocol before transmitting it to an IP switched network using information provided by an external server, and converting any data packet based upon the IPv6 protocol provided by said IP switched network into a data packet based upon the IPv4 protocol before transmitting it to a first or second workstation.

A method is given for sharing reserved bandwidth between a plurality of connections issuing from a port of a node. A connection bandwidth is determined for each connection of the plurality of connections. An aggregate bandwidth is determined for all connections of the plurality of connections issuing from the port, the aggregate bandwidth being less than a sum of the connection bandwidth for all connections. The aggregate bandwidth is compared with a maximum access rate for the port, and in the event that the aggregate bandwidth does not exceed the maximum access rate, reserving the aggregate bandwidth for the port.

A method and system for implementing secure communications between a plurality of devices are provided. The method and system generally include the provision of at least one common encryption parameter to each of the plurality of devices, as well as an identification of the plurality of devices to one another. This information can be maintained and shared by interaction of the plurality of devices with a designated server device. In this way, a secure, point-to-point connection between at least two of the plurality of devices can be established.

A method and system for implementing secure network communications between a first device and a second device, at least one of the devices communicating with the other device via a firewall device, are provided. The method and system may include obtaining an encryption parameter that is shared by the first device, second device and firewall device. A data packet sent by the first device may then be copied within the firewall device, so that decryption of the copy of the data packet within a portion of the firewall device may take place. In particular, the portion of the firewall device in which decryption takes place is defined such that contents of the portion are inaccessible to an operator of the firewall device. Thus, scanning of the decrypted copy of the data packet for compliance with a predetermined criterion may take place within the firewall device, without an operator of the firewall device having access to the contents of the data packet to be transmitted. Thereafter, the original data packet can be forwarded to its originally-intended recipient.

Method for transmitting high-priority packets in an IP transmission network based upon the Internet Protocol (IP) wherein low-priority packets or fragments of packets are transmitted between a sender and a receiver and at least a high-priority packet can be transmitted from the sender to the receiver by pre-emption of a low-priority packet or a fragment of packet. The method comprises in the sender, the steps of determining whether a low-priority packet or fragment of packet is being transmitted from the sender to the receiver when a high-priority packet has to be transmitted, setting to 1 a reserved bit within the IP header of the high-priority packet used as a pre-emption indicator if a low-priority packet or fragment of packet is currently transmitted, transmitting the high-priority packet with the pre-emption indicator set to 1 from the sender to the receiver, and resuming the transmission of the low-priority packet or fragment of packet at the end of transmission of the high-priority packet.
摘要:
The present application discloses a method and system of sharing reserved bandwidth among several connections issuing from a same physical port in an origin node of a packet switching communication network comprising a plurality of nodes interconnected with transmission links. At each request for establishing a connection i from an origin node to a destination node, the dependent connection management process: selects for connection i a routing path comprising one or a plurality of links from the origin node to the destination node: identifies on the selected path all consecutive links starting from the origin node and shared with another connection issuing from the same physical port; reserves on each link of these identified consecutive links an aggregate bandwidth for all connections issuing from the same physical port, said aggregate bandwidth being less than the sum of the bandwidth reserved for each connection considered individually.
摘要:
Method and system for assigning labels in a data transmission network in which flows of data, composed of packets, are transmitted from a source node to a destination node through a plurality of switching nodes. The network is further characterized in that a label, identifying each flow of data, is added to each packet of the flow of data before the packet is transmitted from a transmitting node to an adjacent receiving node in the network. This so-called identification label is recognized by the receiving node as the identification of the flow of data to be transmitted. Each node in the network assigns an identification label to the packets when a new flow of data is received by the node. Both the transmitting and receiving nodes in the network generate an identical label for a given flow of data. Thus, the overhead associated with the sending of assigned labels from assigning nodes to corresponding upstream or downstream transmitting or receiving nodes in the network is avoided.

Process for transmitting compressed voice circuits over a packet switching network of the type comprising a plurality of switching nodes (SW-1 to SW-7) interconnected by connection lines and including at least an end switching node (SW-1) connected to a source exchange telephone device (PABX A) and another end switching node (SW-3) connected to a destination exchange telephone device (CX), and comprising the steps of receiving from the source exchange telephone device a sequence of uncompressed frames wherein each frame contains n slots containing each J bytes respectively associated to J voice circuits, compressing the data bits of each voice circuit in order to build a packet containing J compressed voice circuits, and providing this packet to the end switching node for transmission to the destination exchange telephone device.
摘要:
Voice circuit emulation system in a packet switching network includes a plurality of switching nodes (SW-1, SW-2, . . . ) interconnected by connection lines (TL-1, TL-2, . . . ), enabling voice signals to be transmitted in circuit emulation packets from any source exchange telephone device (PBX-A) to any destination exchange telephone device (PBX-B). Each switching node (SW-1 or SW-2) includes a circuit emulation server (CES-1 or CES-2) including a plurality of connection tables corresponding each to an incoming connection line, each table containing for each incoming connection line, the identification of each outgoing connection line associated to each slot of the circuit emulation packet received from the incoming connection line and the identification of each slot of the packet to be transmitted on the outgoing connection line. A switching module looks up the connection table for each slot contained in each incoming circuit emulation packet received from all incoming lines and thereby transferring the contents thereof to the slot of the outgoing connection line identified in said connection table.
