摘要:
A network node is arranged to provide an end user of a network terminal in a network with an access link to an external network including at least one external network interface, a control unit, and at least one internal network interface, the network node being arranged to be connected between the network and the external network. The network node is characterized in that the control unit is arranged to deactivate and re-activate the at least one internal network interface towards the network terminal in the network in order to trigger a dynamic host configuration protocol request from the network terminal such that a new Internet Protocol configuration can be established for the network terminal. A method for use in a network node and a computer program product are also disclosed herein.

The invention relates to a network node arranged to provide an end user of a network terminal in a local network with an access link to an external network, said network node is arranged to be connected between said local network and said external network. The network node is characterized in that it comprises a control unit arranged to in response to receiving a first triggering information, switch said network node from a normal operational mode into a captive mode, in which said control unit is further arranged to intercept any request from said network terminals to said external network, resolve said request to the IP address of the network node in the local network such that gateway information to the end user of said network terminals is provided. The invention also relates to a method for use in a network node and a computer program product.

The present invention relates to methods and arrangements to optimize bandwidth usage in a Multicast Services Control System (MSCS) for digital information transport. The system comprises a service provider (Server) and service receivers (STB1-STB5) able to receive multicast streams from the service provider along multicast trees in an IP network (A/MNW). The method comprises the following steps: —A multicast join is performed by the service receivers to a multicast group associated with the service of interest provided by the service provider. —Bandwidth is measured on paths in a joined multicast tree. —Each of the service receivers (STB1-STB5) join an optimal multicast group (D1, D2, D3), which joining is based on the measurements.

A method of enabling traffic flow classification on a node, which may be used for controlling the traffic flows on the same node or on another node of a communication network. A first mapping process is configured to manage an operation for linking an application process to a class, and a second mapping process is configured to manage an operation for linking an application process to a unique signature. A third mapping process is configured to manage a record of accumulated linking information, such that a traffic flows associated with an application process may be identified and such that a classification of the respective traffic flow can be recognised. The accumulated classification information may then be used for controlling purposes.

Information about virtual private networks—VPNs—in each domain of a multi-domain communications system is provided. By comparing a request for a configuration of a VPN with the provided information of other connected domains, a match can be found. VPN configuration can then be performed based on the outcome of the match. The provided domain VPN information is in one embodiment spread to other domains under constrictions put by SLAs between domain operators. The spreading of VPN information can be performed regularly or triggered by an external event. In another embodiment, the VPN configuration request is instead spread to different domains.

Link information is obtained about new or changes links in a communications system having a plurality of domains. The link information concerning a link between a first and a second domain comprises at least four pieces of information, domain identity of the first domain, domain identity of the second domain, link end identifier for a first end of the link, and link end identifier for a second end of the link. The link information is cascaded through the communications system by providing the link information stepwise from one domain to an adjacent domain. This is achieved by spreading the obtained link information to adjacent domains and by distributing link information received from adjacent domains to further adjacent domains. Preferably, the link information is compiled and access to the compiled link information is provided for creation of a system link map.

A method and arrangement for enabling communication with a client device by making a currently valid communication address of the device publicly available. The client device sends a freely composed connectivity key to a publicly available connectivity server, the connectivity key being searchable by means of web searching using a search engine. The client device also sends connectivity parameters to the connectivity server including at least the communication address, which then becomes publicly available in the connectivity server by web searching of the associated connectivity key. If a new currently valid communication address is obtained for the client device, the connectivity parameters can be updated by sending the new communication address to the connectivity server.

The present invention relates to methods and arrangements for arranging a distribution tree in a Peer To Peer P2P streaming system. The system comprises a bootstrapping server (10) that creates an external distribution tree based on received register messages from participating operator external clients (2, 3, 4). The method comprises the following steps: —Configuring an operator controlled node (7) to be a regular node in the created external distribution tree. Configuring the operator controlled node (7) to be a parent node for participating operator internal clients (1, 5, 6).
