    摘要: An apparatus and method are disclosed that enable a first telecommunications endpoint to ensure that a second endpoint is receiving the first endpoint's packet stream transmissions with a satisfactory waveform quality. When the second endpoint receives the packet stream, it decodes the media waveform from the stream, encodes the waveform back into a second packet stream, and transmits some or all of the packets in the second stream back to the first endpoint. The first endpoint then decodes the received waveform in the second stream and compares it to the original waveform transmitted to the second endpoint. Based on the comparison, the first endpoint adjusts the value of a quality indication, and provides the quality indication to its user and to the second endpoint. Advantageously, the user at the second endpoint is able to determine whether the received waveform is, in fact, close enough to the waveform that the first endpoint's user intended to be received and understood.

    摘要: An apparatus and methods are disclosed that enable load-balancing of routes in ad-hoc wireless networks. In accordance with the illustrative embodiment, when a candidate intermediate node receives a routing-protocol message, the node waits before it transmits a message in response to the received message, where the amount of time that the node waits is based on the value of a load metric at the node and is independent of any other nodes in the network. As a result, a node that has a larger load will wait longer to transmit its routing-protocol message, and consequently, it is less likely that this node will be selected for inclusion in the new route. The techniques of the illustrative embodiment are applicable to both proactive and on-demand routing protocols, and are also applicable to other kinds of networks.

    摘要: A technique that seeks to direct and re-direct streams of packets through a packet network without adversely affecting the quality of service of existing streams is disclosed. In accordance with the illustrative embodiment of the present invention, streams of packets that are directed and re-directed through a packet network are initially put on probation. During the probation period, a quality-of-service measure for the stream is compared with a threshold whose value is initially high and decreases with time. This has the advantageous affect of noticing problems quickly so that they can be remediated quickly.

    摘要: A method and an apparatus are disclosed that provide a privilege-granting technique for enabling a service-providing domain to grant a privilege to a requesting user in a service-requesting domain. A request handler in the service-providing domain, which comprises one or more service-associated resources, receives a user request to use a service and requests a token from a privilege-granting server, in accordance with the illustrative embodiment of the present invention. Upon receiving the token that specifies a granted privilege from the privilege-granting server, the request handler extends the privilege to the requesting user. Alternatively, the request handler can request a plurality of tokens in advance from the privilege-granting server; after receiving the tokens, the request handler extends a privilege to each requesting user as the handler receives requests to use one or more services.

    摘要: Techniques for performing rapid fault detection and recovery in communication networks are disclosed. For example, in one aspect of the invention, a technique for detecting one or more conditions in a communication network comprises the following steps/operations. One or more keep-alive packets are transmitted from a source node in the communication network to a destination node in the communication network over two or more paths between the source node and the destination node, wherein the two or more paths are at least partially disjoint. Upon receipt of the one or more keep-alive packets at the destination node via the two or more paths, at least one quality measure is computed at the destination node for each of the two or more paths, the at least one quality measure being indicative of one or more conditions in the communication network. While not limited thereto, the invention is particularly well-suited to Internet Protocol (IP) telephony networks, particularly those that provide Voice over IP (VoIP) applications.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for authenticating the contents of a device requesting access to a first network, such as an enterprise network. If a device has connected to at least one other network then the content of the device is evaluated prior to obtaining access. The scope of the content evaluation may be based, for example, on properties of the other network or on one or more defined content authentication rules. If a device attempts to access a network, the content of the device is evaluated and the device may be restricted to accessing only one or more restoration services if the content fails to satisfy one or more predefined criteria, such as a content item that is out of date or a determination that the device connected to one or more external networks. The restoration service(s) can update a content item that is out of date, reinstall one or more programs or return configuration settings to default values.

    摘要: A packet data filter which stores ordered rules and sequentially applies the rules to received data packets to determine the disposition of the data packet. The packet filter maintains a match count in memory which indicates the number of times each rule matched an incoming data packet. Periodically, at the initiation of a user, or based on operating parameters of the filter, the rules are automatically re-ordered based on the match count. As a result of the re-ordering, rules with higher match counts are moved earlier in the sequential evaluation order and rules with lower match counts are moved later in the sequential evaluation order. As such, rules which are more likely to match incoming data packets are evaluated earlier, thus avoiding the evaluation of later rules. In order to prevent a re-ordering which would change the overall security policy of the packet filter, pairs of rules are compared to determine if they conflict (i.e., the swapping of the two rules would result in a change in the overall security policy). During re-ordering, the swapping of conflicting rules is prevented.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed that enable a data-processing system, such as a server, to determine whether or not to grant a telecommunications terminal one or more privileges, without some of the disadvantages of the prior art. Specifically, in accordance with the illustrative embodiments of the present invention, a call-processing server transmits, to a first terminal, a first signal for verifying a second terminal, such as one that has been designated by a user. The user is then required to transmit a second signal to the call-processing server via the second terminal. The call-processing server then examines the received second signal with respect to the first signal and determines whether or not to grant the second terminal a privilege (e.g., handling calls on behalf of the user, etc.), based on the relationship between the first and second signals.
