    摘要: A method and system for enabling interconnection of VPNs is disclosed. An interconnection device manages an interconnection process at one or more facilities including, for example, a gateway device. The gateway device has information relating to a plurality of VPNs, and may facilitate interconnection between devices on at least two of the VPNs by determining that one device is in fact a member of a first one of the VPNs, and by forwarding connection parameters of the first VPN to the second VPN on an as-needed basis. In this way, the gateway allows interconnection without the need for a completely centralized decision-making process, and does so independently of the type of device and/or VPN(s) being used. Moreover, the gateway may implement only those VPN parameters needed by both VPNs to communicate with one another with a desired level of security, thereby simplifying the routing and forwarding processes associated with the actual communication occurring via the interconnection. The information related to the plurality of VPNs and their respective member devices may be stored in a mapping table at the gateway, and identification parameters of a device seeking interconnection and/or associated VPN parameters may be verified by the use of digital certificates.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A method and system for reserving a virtual connection from a source workstation to a destination workstation. Packets of data are transmitted over a network between an ingress node of the source workstation and an egress node of the destination workstation. In accordance with the method of the present invention, a reservation request is delivered from the source workstation to a reservation server. The reservation server includes a user database for storing the identification of each user allowed to access to the reservation server and also stores the rights of each user. The reservation server further includes a network database for storing the information describing a network capacity required to set up the virtual connection. A verification is then performed to determine whether or not the reservation request may be validated in view of user information within said source workstation. A second verification is performed to determine whether or not the capacity of said network is sufficient to meet the requirements of the reservation request. In response to the capacity of the network being sufficient to meet the requirements of the reservation request, a virtual connection is established from the ingress node to the egress node.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method and system of sharing among a plurality of virtual channel connections the bandwidth of a bandwidth adjustable virtual path connection established between a source node and a destination node within a packet or cell switching network comprising a plurality of nodes interconnected with transmission links, said virtual channel connections comprising bandwidth adjustable reserved virtual channel connections with minimum bandwidth reservation and/or reserved virtual channel connections and/or non reserved virtual channel connections with minimum bandwidth reservation or/and totally non reserved connections without minimum bandwidth reservation. When the source node receives a notification indicating a new bandwidth to allocate to the bandwidth adjustable virtual path connection, and when this new bandwidth is lower than the sum of the current reserved bandwidth of virtual channel connections, the current reserved bandwidth of each bandwidth adjustable virtual channel connection is reduced by applying a ratio to the part of the current bandwidth reserved above the minimum reservation. The ratio is, in a preferred embodiment, proportional to the difference between the sum of the reserved bandwidth of all virtual channel connections and the new available bandwidth allocated to the bandwidth adjustable virtual path connection, and inversely proportional to the sum of the bandwidth reserved above the minimum reservation for the bandwidth adjustable virtual channel connections.

    摘要: This system is made to perform congestion detection and flow control in high speed digital packet switching network (22) carrying discardable and non-discardable traffic. Forward traffic received at a destination system over a first connection from a source system is monitored. If a congestion-indicating bit is detected in a received packet, a backward congestion indicator is set in packets flowing from the destination system to the source system over a second connection. The source system integrates the number of backward congestion indicators received over successive periods of time using a count-up, count-down counter. Specific congestion control actions are taken at the source system as a function of the counter state at the end of each of the successive periods of time. The congestion control actions may include increasing or decreasing the bandwidth allocated to discardable traffic intended to be delivered over the first connection.
