In one embodiment, a node “N” within a computer network utilizing directed acyclic graph (DAG) routing selects a parent node “P” within the DAG, and, where P is not a DAG root, may determine a grandparent node “GP” as a parent node to the parent node P. The node N may then also select an alternate parent node “P′” that has connectivity to GP and N. N may then inform P and P′ about prefixes reachable via N, and also about P′ as an alternate parent node to P to reach the prefixes reachable via N. Also, in one embodiment, P may be configured to inform GP about the prefixes reachable via N and also about P′ as an alternate parent node to P to reach the prefixes reachable via N, and P′ may be configured to store the prefixes reachable via N without informing other nodes about those prefixes.

A router is configured for sharing routing rules with other routers, the routing rules defining aggregated routes according to a prescribed topology. Each routing rule, used by the router for routing a packet having a corresponding matching destination address prefix, specifies a corresponding address prefix pattern rule for extracting an identified pattern from a portion of the destination address, and a gateway address pattern rule for generating a gateway address, for a gateway providing reachability to the destination address, based on applying the identified pattern to a specified portion of the gateway address. The router generates a routing update message that describes the address prefix pattern rule and the gateway address pattern rule, and outputs the routing update message to a second router according to a prescribed distance vector routing protocol (e.g., Multiprotocol Extension for Border Gateway Protocol).

A real-time data transport protocol directed to aggregating multiple packets of a real-time protocol session and transmitting redundant copies of the packets as defined by a sliding window. In particular implementations, a method comprising accessing a plurality of packets of a real-time protocol session; aggregating, over a sliding window, a contiguous sequence of packets in the plurality of packets into real-time data transport packets, and transmitting the real-time data transport packets to a receiving node.

In one embodiment, a method comprises initiating neighbor discovery in response to detecting an absence of an IP destination address of a received data packet within a neighbor cache, including outputting a neighbor solicitation message targeting the IP destination address into a network served by the router, generating a hash index value based on the IP destination address combined with a randomized token stored in the router, and storing the data packet in a selected one of a plurality of pending message queues in the router based on the corresponding hash index value, each pending message queue configured for storing stored data packets having the corresponding hash index value and awaiting respective solicited neighbor advertisement messages from the network; and detecting whether the router is encountering a neighbor discovery denial of service attack based on a determined distribution of the stored data packets among the pending message queues.
摘要:
A system for providing a tree topology for a network having an interior gateway protocol. A first router receives a hello message from all connected routers in the network. The hello messages include tree topology information. The first router then uses the tree topology information to determine a parent of the router. The first router then establishes connections with directly connected routers at the same level in the tree topology. The first router also generates link messages that include all of the prefixes for children of the first router and broadcasts the link messages.

A clusterhead of a tree-based, mobile ad hoc network includes a mobile IP proxy resource for registering a received binding update request from a mobile ad hoc router within the network, creating a first mobile IP tunnel with the mobile ad hoc router, sending a second binding update request to a remote home agent of the mobile ad hoc router, and initiating a second mobile IP tunnel between the clusterhead and the home agent. If a packet received from the mobile ad hoc router specifies a destination determined as reachable within the mobile ad hoc network, use of the second mobile IP tunnel is minimized by outputting the packet toward the destination according to the mobile ad hoc routing protocol. If the packet is not reachable within the mobile ad hoc network, the packet is forwarded via the second mobile IP tunnel to ensure packet transmission is topologically correct.
摘要:
A mobile router is configured for attaching to a selected router in a clustered network (e.g., a mobile ad hoc network) based on identifying a network topology model of the clustered network from received router advertisement messages that include tree information option fields specifying attributes of the network topology model. The mobile router selects which router advertisement originator to attach to based on correlating the attributes of the router advertisement originators relative to identified priorities, and orders the router advertisement originators within a default router list based on the identified priorities. If the mobile router detects a router from a second clustered network, the mobile router advertises to the attachment router that the second clustered network is reachable, enabling the two clustered networks to communicate using a point-to-point link between the respective attachment routers.

A default gateway router of a multi-homed site is configured for supplying, to a host device, a plurality of address prefixes having been advertised by respective exit routers providing respective connecting links for the multi-homed site to a wide area network. The default gateway router sends the address prefixes to the host device in a determined order based on a determined preference in the default gateway router for reaching the respective exit routers. The host device is configured for selecting a source address according to the determined order supplied by the default gateway router. The address also prefixes may be grouped according to identified destination prefixes, enabling the host device to select, for a given identified destination prefix, the source address according to the ordering of address prefixes within the corresponding group.

The invention enables the surveillance of computer-like devices while they are connected to a communications network. This latter includes a Network Surveillance Server (NSS). Upon joining said communications network, a device is first required to log-in to NSS. After which, NSS polls it while connected on the network so that an alarm can be issued, from NSS, to a central surveillance unit, if the device fails responding to polling. Hence, prior to leaving the communications network, the computer-like device is also required to log-out to NSS. Thus, as long as it is connected to the communications network, the computer-like device is watched.
摘要:
A data transmission system for exchanging packetized data between any IP host selected from a cluster of IP hosts, each host having at least an IP layer, a network layer, and a plurality of workstations coupled by an intermediary of an IP network. The IP hosts are coupled to the IP network via a layer 2 network such as a LAN interfacing the IP network by a set of routers and a network dispatcher that receives all incoming data flow and dispatches the data to the cluster of hosts. The data transmission system comprises at least a monitoring device included in the cluster of hosts where the monitoring device is operable to monitor the availability of candidate routers selected from the set of possible routers. The monitoring device also is operable for broadcasting router availability information to each host in the cluster of hosts via the network dispatcher.
