摘要:
A technique for synchronizing data caches. Data is maintained in the data caches as records. The records are associated with buckets which represent collections of one or more records. The buckets are collectively maintained in a synchronization set which represents a state of a data cache. A local entity synchronizes its data cache with a remote entity by sending its synchronization set to the remote entity in a synchronization request message. The remote entity compares information contained in the local entity's synchronization set with its own to determine if the two are consistent. If not, the remote entity notes inconsistencies in a response message that is then forwarded to the local entity. The local entity processes the response message including using it to update its data cache to be consistent with the remote entity's data cache.

Systems and techniques herein may allow users to subscribe to Internet services such as VoIP without access to a personal computer. An Internet service device may include an input to receive information indicative of a selected service provider. The Internet service device may be configured to automatically discover a location of a configuration service for the selected service provider, and to transmit a device identifier to the selected service provider. In some embodiments, the configuration service may be discovered using a DNS SRV process.

An Internet service device includes data and instructions to generate a user interface to subscribe to an Internet service, and to automatically discover one or more service provider services. The internet service device may receive information indicative of a selected service provider from a user device, and may automatically discover a location of a subscription service and a configuration service for the selected service provider. Automatic discovery of one or more services may be performed using DNS SRV. Device can be automatically identified to service subscription and configuration servers to enable association of subscriber with a device.

In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a customer premises equipment (CPE) apparatus includes a first communications unit, a second communications unit, and a processing unit. The first communications unit is configured to receive an inbound message packet from a first communications channel. The inbound packet includes a destination address. The second communications unit is configured to send an outbound message packet on a second communications channel. The processing unit is configured to generate the outbound packet from the inbound packet where the outbound packet is modified to include a CPE device identifier if the destination address matches a predetermined registration server address. In one embodiment, this enables automatic CPE identification during subscriber registration process.

A proxy server according to an embodiment includes a memory and a communication unit. The memory is configured to store and retrieve a client device identifier and an associated client device transport address, while the communication unit is configured to send and receive messages. The communication unit is configured to receive an identification message according to a first protocol from a client device through at least one intermediate network address translator (NAT). The identification message includes the client device identifier and conveys the client device transport address. The communication unit is configured to receive a request message from an admin device including the client device identifier. The proxy server is configured to retrieve the associated client device transport address and instruct the client device to open a connection with the proxy server according to a second protocol that is different from the first protocol.
摘要:
Techniques for configuring a customer premises equipment connected to a network of a network service provider include receiving configuration information at a distributed component on the network from a central unit on the network. The distributed component also receives from the customer premises equipment a request for values of configuration parameters that determine network properties for the customer premises equipment. The distributed component generates a set of values for the configuration parameters based on the request and the configuration information received from the central unit. The set of values are sent from the distributed component to the customer premises equipment. A system using these techniques is scalable with increasing numbers of customer premises equipments simultaneously requesting values for configuration parameters and is robust in face of equipment failure at a distributed component or at the central unit or both.
