    摘要: An Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) network architecture. In a specific embodiment, the network architecture includes a mobile station and an access point in communication with the mobile station. A UMA Controller (UNC) communicates with the access point. A Service GateWay (SGW) communicates with the UMA controller. The SGW includes functionality to route user-plane packets in the UMA. In a more specific embodiment, the functionality includes UNC user-plane functionality offloaded from the UNC to the SGW; Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) user-plane functionality; access-authentication functionality sufficient to enable the SGW to enable the SGW to bypass a legacy SGSN control plane; and/or Radio Network Controller (RNC) user-plane functionality sufficient to enable communications between the SGW and the RNC.

    摘要: A system for enhancing functionality of a network. In a specific embodiment, the system employs strategic communications between a network controller and a security gateway. The strategic communications occur via a feedback communications channel between the network controller and the security gateway. The feedback communications channel facilitates transferring security information, such as International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) and other information, between the network controller and the security gateway. The security information may facilitate enabling the SGW to make intelligent decisions as to how to treat a client communications session. In the specific embodiment, the feedback communications channel includes an intervening Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) server that is coupled between the UMA and the network controller.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a security gateway receives an IPSec Initiation (IPSec INIT) request from a client. The security gateway may communicate with a AAA server to authenticate the client. After authentication, the security gateway intercepts a URR Discovery request from the client. The security gateway determines registration information for a response to the registration request. The registration information may be information on where the client can locate a D-GANC. A response is generated using the determined information and sent to the client. The response to the discovery request is performed without communicating with a P-GANC. Accordingly, a security gateway is used to authenticate the client and also to respond to the discovery request. This does not require that a P-GANC function be deployed in a network. Thus, cost and processing power may be saved.

    摘要: A system for facilitating persistent communications between entities in a network. In a specific embodiment, the system is adapted to facilitate fast reauthentication of a client performed by a server, such as an Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) server, that is coupled to the client via a load balancer. The system includes a first message to be exchanged between the server and the client, wherein the first message includes a field identifying the server and/or the client. A matching module communicates with or is otherwise incorporated within the load balancer. The matching module includes one or more routines for employing the field to selectively route the first message to the client and/or server. In a more specific embodiment, the server a fast reauthentication module adapted to append the field in the message. The field includes sub-realm information identifying the server.

    摘要: Techniques and systems for server farm load balancing and resource allocation are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of load balancing can include: arranging servers into service groups; receiving an access request with information related to a differentiation between the service groups; selecting one of the service groups based on a mapping comparison to the information; and selecting one of the servers within the selected service group based on a hardware utilization comparison. The servers can include GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) Gateway Support Node (GGSN) or Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) servers, for example. The information can include an Access Point Name (APN) or Calling Station ID, for example.
