Abstract:
A system is provided for maintaining Quality of Service (“QoS”) parameters of data transmissions. A packet-switched network framework is provided. The network framework includes at least one router for routing the data transmissions over the network framework. The network framework also includes multiple links, including a first link and a second link. The first link forms at least part of a first path over the network framework, and the second link forms at least part of an alternate, second path over the network framework. A link utilization monitor is configured to monitor a link utilization rate of the first link and to determine whether the rate has exceeded a predetermined maximum utilization threshold. The router is configured to reroute data transmissions over the second link when the rate is determined to have exceeded the predetermined maximum utilization threshold.

Abstract:
A system and method for implementing distributed virtual-resource-based (cloud-based) session border gateway (SBG) functions are presented. Because no dedicated physical resources need to be committed for implementation of the SBG features and functions, as in traditional border gateway functions implementations, the invention has significant cost, resource allocation, integration, and operational advantages over traditional methods. In addition, new features and functions can be easily developed and integrated with the Cloud-Based SBG (CB-SBG) implementations very cost-effectively.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving a priority message in an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and identifying, via the IMS, resource availability through a first network and a second network. The method further includes routing, via the IMS, the priority message through one of the first network or the second network based on the identified resource availabilities of the first network and the second network.
Abstract:
An approach is provided for receiving information from a plurality of communication services in a plurality of communication service formats and adjusting the information into another communication service format that is configured for receipt by a device and for communication to a user. A transmission session is established between a device and one of the plurality of communication services. Information from the one communication service is adjusted from a first communication service format into the another communication service format, seamlessly.
Abstract:
An apparatus for providing a distributed router architecture includes a processing element and a resource availability element. The processing element may be configured to receive indications of receipt of data associated with a service for routing to a destination address. The resource availability element may be in communication with the processing element and may be configured to monitor resource usage over a plurality of distributed resource planes. The processing element may be further configured to allocate a resource associated with routing the data based on the monitored resource usage.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention pertain to systems and methods for implementing a platform to support multimedia services peering with multiple independent competing parties, such as carriers or service providers. More particularly, certain embodiments of the invention pertain to deployment of the same physical platform or device by using soft- and hard-virtual separation of resources. Each party is allowed to retain full control over its logical resources space, even when a party is not using any of its resources. However, the multimedia multi-party peering provider maintains complete overview of the utilization of resources by each party via an active monitoring and enforcing method.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a system and apparatus for tracking media content (storage) and its cache (that is synched with the original content) in a large-scale wide-area distributed network. The system includes at least one mini tracker which is configured to keep information on the location of the content and to distribute this information to micro trackers in a first jurisdiction. The system also includes at least one zone tracker which is configured to keep information on the location of the content in a region and to distribute this information to mini trackers in a second jurisdiction. The system further includes a master tracker which is configured to keep information on the location of the content in all regions in a third jurisdiction to distribute this information to zone trackers in the third jurisdiction. The micro tracker (in wired or mobile end device/point) is configured to obtain location information from at least one of the mini tracker or zone tracker if a primary source malfunctions.
