摘要： The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer program products for load balanced and symmetric SPF path computations for VoIP traffic engineering. One method includes advertising an output interface cost in a first direction over a first network segment between a source IP device and a destination IP device that is different from an output interface cost in advertised in a second direction over the first network segment. A plurality of available network paths between the source IP device and the destination IP device is identified. A path cost is calculated for each of the available network paths from the source IP device to the destination IP device. Calculating a path cost includes, for paths that include the first network segment, substituting the output interface cost advertised in the first direction with the output interface cost advertised in the second direction. The path costs are ranked based on the calculated costs. A lowest cost path is selected from the ranked paths. Both directions of a media session are assigned to the lowest cost path.

摘要： Methods, systems, and computer program products for implementing automatic protection switching for media packets, such as ATM cells or IP packets that carry media content, in a device that includes an Ethernet switching fabric are disclosed. According to one method, first and second packet network interfaces of the device are configured to function as working and protection APS interfaces. At least one of a media processing resource and an Ethernet switch fabric of the device are configured to replicate egress media packets from the media processing resource to the working and protection APS interfaces. Egress media packets from the media processing resource are forwarded to the working and protection APS interfaces via the switch fabric. Ingress media packets received at the working APS interface are forwarded to the media processing resource via the Ethernet switch fabric. Media packets received at the protection APS interface are discarded.

摘要： Methods, systems, and computer program products for multipath Shortest-Path-First (SPF) computations and distance-based interface selection for VoIP traffic are disclosed. According to one method, a multi-path router instance associated with a plurality of network interfaces in a source IP device is provided. A cost is assigned to each of a plurality of internal segments between the multi-path router instance and the network interfaces associated with the multi-path router instance. An aggregate cost is calculated for each of a plurality of traffic paths originating at the multi-path router instance in the source IP device and extending through each of the network interfaces associated with the multi-path router instance to a destination IP device in the network. A list of IP paths is generated, and the paths in the list are ranked based on the calculated cost. Traffic is sent from the source IP device over at least one of the paths in the list. The path costs and rankings are updated in response to segment cost changes.

摘要： Methods and systems for per-session dynamic management of media gateway resources are disclosed. According to one method, the logical and physical resources in a media gateway are divided and dynamically managed at the Transport Layer (i.e. OBI Layer 4), which results in finer granularity than managing such resources statically at the Data Link Layer (i.e. OBI Layer 2) or Network Layer (i.e. OBI Layer 3). Voice-processing resources provided by voice server cards may be pooled into a common pool available to all external networks. For each new call/session, the dynamic resource manager of the media gateway dynamically allocates a voice chip from the pooled voice processing resources, and assigns a logical resource identifier (e.g. a local IP and local UDP pair) to the session. When a network interface card receives incoming voice packets, it checks the destination IP and UDP and optionally the source IP and UDP to find out, and forward voice packets to, the voice chip assigned to the session.

摘要： Method, systems, and computer program products for voice over IP (VoIP) traffic engineering and path resilience using media gateway and associated next-hop routers are provided. In one example, a media gateway includes multiple media processing hosts and a multiple network interfaces separate from the media processing hosts. At least one of the media processing hosts is reachable via at least two of the network interfaces. Next-hop routers associated with the network interfaces advertise reachability information regarding the media processing hosts to routers in the network. The next-hop routers also participate in network routing protocols to form multiple paths between the media gateway and a remote media gateway. Costs may be assigned to associations between the media processing hosts and the next-hop routers for traffic engineering purposes.
