摘要:
A method for maintaining a common billing identifier for a user session in a communication network is presented. In the method, an authentication node of the communication network receives a first authentication request associated with a user session. In response to the first authentication request, a billing identifier associated with the user session is transferred from the authentication node to a source of the first authentication request. A second authentication request associated with the same user session is received at the authentication node. In response to the second authentication request, the same billing identifier is transferred from the authentication node to a source of the second authentication request.
摘要:
A method is provided for maintaining a common billing identifier for a user session in a communication network. In the method, an authentication request associated with a user session is transferred from an access node of the communication network to an authentication node of the network. The access node receives an authentication acknowledgment transferred from the authentication node in response to the request. In response to the acknowledgment, a billing identifier associated with the user session is generated at the access node. The billing identifier is transferred from the access node to an application node of the communication network.
摘要:
From a packet stream, a first packet, one or more intervening packets, and a second packet are received in the preceding order. The first packet is inserted into a buffer. The one or more intervening packets are inserted into the buffer after the first packet. At least a portion of the first packet is compared to at least a portion of the second packet to produce a comparison result. The second packet is inserted into the buffer after the one or more intervening packets if the comparison result indicates that the second packet is not a duplicate of the first packet.
