摘要:
A telecommunication node such as a home gateway and a method of routing data packets received from customer premises devices connected to the node. The node includes an operator-configurable service profile table for storing service profiles and a user-configurable customer devices table for storing the source addresses of the customer premises devices and associations between each source address and at least one of the service profiles. The operator controls service provisioning while the user can freely allocate the customer premises devices to different service profiles and can access a plurality of services from the same device.

Systems and methods according to these exemplary embodiments provide for methods and systems for interworking between an Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) and a MAC address Multiple Registration Protocol (MMRP). For example, an IGMP join or leave message which is received at node (700) is translated (702) into an equivalent MMRP message for forwarding into an MMRP portion of a network (704).
摘要:
A topology aware entity, such as an OSS (Operations Support System), an NMS (Network Management System) or an RM (Resource Manager), associated with an Ethernet network is configured to execute a method for topological location discovery of nodes that are added to the network. According to the method, the topology aware entity receives (step 30) a notification about a new node that has been added to the network. Then, the topology aware entity causes (step 31) an existing node to initiate a path discovery to the new node using an Ethernet Connectivity and Fault Management, CFM, protocol, such as IEE 802.1 ag or ITU-T Y.1731. The topology aware entity receives (step 32) the resulting path data from the existing node and identifies (step 33), based on the path data, a topological position of the new node in the Ethernet network. The method may be embodied as Identify topological position of new program instructions stored on a computer-readable medium.

摘要:
A method and network node for distributing media across an IP network, the network node having multicast and peer-to-peer ingress interfaces, and unicast and peer-to-peer egress interfaces. For each of a plurality of contents, the network node selects an ingress interface and receives media packets representing the content at the selected interface. For each media packet received, the network node determines from information conveyed in the media packet whether that media packet can be cached at the network node and caches the media packet if permitted. When the network node receives a request from a further network node for a given content, the network node selects an egress interface and forwards media packets representing the given content to the further network node over that selected interface. If media packets representing the given content were cached, the cached media packets are forwarded to the further network node.
摘要:
A qualification and monitoring function (604, 606) monitors the line conditions of a last mile access network that is connected with a multi-access broadband network. The qualification and monitoring function (604, 606) sends data to a Resource Manager (602) of the access network upon request. The monitoring function collects, stores, and analyzes performance data, media conditions and stability data using interpretation filters to derive performance indicators. The conditions of the network are also automatically provided to the resource manager (602) for immediate attention if the access network conditions exceed predetermined thresholds.
摘要:
A method of operating a network node to distribute media across an IP network. The method comprises, at the network node, selecting one of a multicast and peer-to-peer ingress interface and receiving media packets at the interface. For each media packet received at the node, the method comprises determining from information conveyed in the packet or associated packets whether that packet can be cached at the node and caching the packet if permitted. At the node, one of a unicast and peer-to-peer egress interface is selected and packets forwarded to one or more further nodes over that interface.
