    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system and method for offloading selected data traffic in logical tunnels to the Internet. The offloading provides another data path for selected data traffic that can relieve the burden on a mobile operator's network, such as the backhaul and core networks. As the proliferation of data rich content and increasingly more capable mobile devices has continued, the amount of data communicated over mobile operator's networks has increased. Upgrading the existing network that was designed for voice calls is not desirable or practical for many mobile operators. This disclosure provides systems and methods for offloading data to the Internet at a router to relieve congestion on the mobile operator's network.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus of communication processing at a client (e.g., media gateway) connected to a server (e.g., media gateway controller) includes collecting events in a quarantine buffer. The contents of the buffer are examined to determine whether the collected events include one or more synchronizing events. An instruction signal sent to the client from the server includes information defining one or more events as a synchronizing event. If one or more synchronizing events is present, the collected events are processed from the buffer relative to the one or more synchronizing events. The processing may include processing the collected events beginning after the most recent or second most recent synchronizing event. The collected events that occurred up to the most recent or second most recent synchronizing event may be moved to a synchronized event list. The synchronized event list may be reported to the server or discarded.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, at a visited network node, policy for a roaming terminal from a home network of the roaming terminal. The policy is associated with a home Internet Protocol (IP) address of the roaming terminal. The visited network node applies the policy in the visited network to data packets that include the home IP address. Applying the policy to a data packet encompasses either enforcing the policy at the node that applies the policy or sending data that indicates the policy to a different node that applies the policy based on the data sent, or both.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving packet flow optimization (PFO) configuration data that associates each rule name of multiple PFO rule names with a corresponding method for processing a data packet in a communications network based on data in a payload of a layer 3 protocol of the data packet. A first policy message is received from a policy management process in the communications network. The first policy message includes rule data that indicates a signaled rule name associated with a particular network address in the communications network. In response to receiving the first policy message, a data packet of the particular network address is processed according to a particular method associated with a particular rule name selected based on the signaled rule name. As a result, a PFO policy is controlled from the policy management process.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a network device receives an Internet protocol (IP) registration request, such as a mobile IP registration request, from an access terminal. The network device may be a home agent that is configured to register the access terminal for IP services at the network layer. In addition to registering the access terminal at the network layer, the network device may facilitate registration at another layer, such as the application layer. In one example, registration information for the access terminal for an application layer registration, such as information needed to register for a session initiation protocol (SIP) services, is determined. The network device then facilitates registration at the application layer automatically using the registration information.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a first message from a first manager. The first message includes a first element of a request for policy authorization. The request for policy authorization attempts to reserve particular network resources for a particular application context. The method includes, in response to the first message, establishing a policy rendezvous state at a policy manager for a policy decision on the request for policy authorization. The method includes receiving a second message from a second manager subsequent to the first message. The second message includes a second element of the request for policy authorization, and the second element completes the request for policy authorization. The method includes, in response to the second message, making the policy decision based on the first and second elements of the request for policy authorization. The method includes, if the policy decision grants the request for policy authorization, generating a complete policy facet and communicating the complete policy facet to the first manager or the second manager to authorize use of the particular resources for the particular application context.

    Abstract: A mechanism that provides for communication of heartbeat signals from servers (call agents) to clients (gateways) in a packet telephony network environment. Clients listen for receipt of multicast heartbeats from any of the servers that may be part of a multicast group. A client assigned to a particular server for control messaging, upon failure to receive a response to a message sent to the assigned server and failure to receive a heartbeat from the assigned server, may select a second server from among the servers and re-send the message to the second server. Without receipt of heartbeat signals, the client defaults to a normal retry behavior for re-sending the message first to the assigned server a number of times before attempting to re-send the message to the second server. With receipt of the heartbeat from the second server, the client adopts an aggressive retry behavior by re-sending the message to the assigned server a lesser number of retries before attempting to re-send the message to the second server. The clients use the multicast heartbeats as a hint, allowing them to switch to the more aggressive retry behavior and consequently reduce the time to re-associate with a new server and re-establish a new security association (if IPsec is used), resulting in a drastic reduction in service delay due to server failures.

    Abstract translation: 一种机制,用于在分组电话网络环境中提供从服务器(呼叫代理)到客户端(网关)的心跳信号的通信。 客户端收听来自任何可能是多播组一部分的服务器的组播心跳信号。 分配给特定服务器以用于控制消息收发的客户端,在未能接收到发送给所分配的服务器的消息的响应以及未能从所分配的服务器接收到心跳的响应时,可以从服务器中选择第二服务器并重新发送 消息到第二台服务器。 在没有收到心跳信号的情况下,客户端默认为正常的重试行为,以便在尝试将消息重新发送到第二个服务器之前先将消息首先发送到分配的服务器。 在从第二台服务器接收到心跳信号之后,客户端在尝试将消息重新发送到第二个服务器之前,通过将消息重新发送到分配的服务器进行较少数量的重试,从而采取积极的重试行为。 客户端使用组播心跳作为提示,允许他们切换到更积极的重试行为,从而减少与新服务器重新关联的时间,并重新建立新的安全关联(如果使用IPsec),导致 由于服务器故障导致的服务延迟急剧减少。
