摘要:
A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving a request for a service flow over a wireless link, where the request specifies resource requirements; dynamically reserving bandwidth for the resource requirements in a backhaul link; and mapping a packet received over the wireless link to the backhaul link based on an identification element associated with the packet and the service flow.

A method is provided in one example embodiment that includes aggregating resource availability from a plurality of network elements operating in a network; receiving a request to apply a policy to a network flow propagating in the network; and orchestrating resources to apply the policy to the network flow based on the aggregated resource availability. In more particular embodiments, the policy includes a quality of service for the network flow. In addition, the policy can include relocating subscribers accessing common content from a first gateway to a second gateway. In other instances, the policy includes relocating resources for the network flow.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method for providing security in a network environment that includes receiving a flow that propagates through an access gateway. The flow is initiated by an end user associated with the flow and propagates through a network. The method also includes receiving accounting information indicative of the termination of the flow. In response, tearing down of the communication associated with the flow is initiated.
摘要:
A data flow is received from a mobile network relating to a mobile subscriber. Subscriber data is received for the subscriber identifying a service path corresponding to the subscriber and at least one service policy corresponding to the subscriber, the service path including a set of network service nodes in a plurality of network service nodes. Packets of the data flow are routed according to the service path, the packets corresponding to a request for a resource. At least one packet is appended with service header data identifying the service policy. Each service node performs at least one service based on received request data, each service node in the set of service nodes performing a service defined in a service subscription of the subscriber. At least one particular service node in the set of network service nodes performs a particular service based at least in part on the service policy.
