Abstract:
A system for and method of dynamic home agent allocation is presented. The system and method may include receiving, via a network, a request for allocation of a Logical Home Agent for a mobile node, selecting a Logical Home Agent for the mobile node based on one or more performance metrics, and communicating Logical Home Agent selection to the selected Logical Home Agent and the mobile node.
Abstract:
A system comprises a communications network configured to support transmission of a plurality of communications streams and a resource manager communicatively coupled to the communications network and configured to provision resources of the communications network to the plurality of communications streams. The system may further comprise a performance test manager communicatively coupled to said communications network and configured to identify a communication stream from said plurality of communications streams, identify a test network path for said identified communication stream that is substantially free of other network traffic, and perform a performance test over said test network path.
Abstract:
A device receives, from a mobile device, a registration request when the mobile device moves to a new service area of a network, where the registration request includes a resource management (RM) extension and a performance monitoring (PM) extension. The device also inspects quality of service requirements of the registration request, identifies performance aspects of the registration request to be verified, and inspects performance monitoring information associated with the registration request to identify a performance monitoring test needed to make a resource management decision. The device further executes the performance monitoring test, collects results of the execution of the performance monitoring test, analyzes the collected results of the performance monitoring test, determines whether intervention related to network topology and configuration is possible, and accepts or rejects the registration request based on the analysis of the collected results of the performance monitoring test.

Abstract:
A device may receive information associated with a reliable multicast service, that permits retransmission of multicast datagrams to be provided. The device may receive information associated with a plurality of network devices associated with providing the reliable multicast service. The device may configure the plurality of network devices to provide the reliable multicast service and may monitor the plurality of network devices. The device may detect an event associated with the reliable multicast service and may provide an instruction, to one or more network devices of the plurality of network devices, to modify the reliable multicast service based on detecting the event.
