摘要:
A technique for routing datagrams between costumer equipments, CEs, (102) and a pool (110) of broadband network gateways, BNGs, (112) is provided. As to a device aspect (120) of the technique, a first establishing unit (122) is configured to establish a first connection (123) between the device (120) and each of the CEs (102). A second establishing unit (124) is configured to establish a second connection (125) between the device (120) and each BNG (112) in the pool (110) of BNGs (112). A mapping unit (126) is configured to map each of the first connections (123) to one of the second connections (125). The mapping specifies the routing of the datagrams.

A method of operating a data network may include establishing a data path through the data network between a routing gateway and service provider equipment providing a data service. Moreover, the data service may be provided for use at the routing gateway over the data path during a data session. A request may be received from the service provider equipment where the request defines a data flow characteristic for the data path between the routing gateway and the service provider equipment providing the data service. The data flow characteristic may then be transmitted to a network element along the data path between the routing gateway and the service provider equipment. A request from service provider equipment can include an allowed bandwidth or prioritization. Related methods, data networks, data service providers, routing gateways, and computer program products are also discussed.

The subject disclosure is directed towards a technology by which computing devices such as a phone and a personal computer may reliably communicate internet protocol (IP)-based network data to one another via an unreliable point-to-point data transfer mechanism such as a USB connection. To this end, each computing device includes a bi-directional proxy component (e.g., a proxy and reliable transfer tunnel), that processes network data into packets for transmission over the point-to-point connection, and processes received packets into internet protocol (IP)-based network data for a network connection. Also described are an acknowledgement and sequence number-based mechanism that ensures reliable point-to-point data transfers, and a flow control mechanism that prevents a recipient from receiving more data than it can handle until ready.

A network device includes one or more memories and one or more processor circuits coupled to the one or more memories. The one or more processor circuits are configured to cause providing for transmission a request directed to a network controller to change a power state of the network device, receiving a grant from the network controller in response to the request, and changing the power state of the network device in response to receiving the grant. The power state of the network device includes a running power state and a standby power state, where the standby power state includes an active mode and an idle mode. A network controller for granting a request from the network device to change a power state of the network device is also disclosed.

Systems and methods for performing a method for reducing power consumption in MoCA devices that are connected via a coax network are provided. One method according to the invention includes, in a home network having a plurality of network modules, one of said plurality of network modules being a network controller, each of said plurality of network modules being connected to a coax backbone, communicating over the coax backbone between the plurality of network modules. The method further includes using the master module to receive requests sent over the coax backbone from the plurality of network modules for bandwidth to transmit bursts. The master module may establish an order of transmission opportunities for the plurality of network modules to follow when transmitting bursts directly to other network modules via the coax backbone. The method may also include using the master module to toggle each of the networked modules between a running power state and a standby power state. The standby power state may include an active mode and an idle mode. In the active mode, a networked node is configured to transmit and/or receive packets of information. In the idle mode, the networked node is configured to maintain a link to the network while powering down a portion of the circuit blocks, thereby reducing power consumption of the networked node.

The disclosure discloses a Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPOE) configuration method for a Gigabit-Capable Passive Optical Network (GPON) system. The method comprises: an Optical Line Terminal (OLT) instructing an Optical Network Unit (ONU) to create or delete a PPPoE management object instance and associate the PPPoE management object instance with an IP host config data management object instance; and the ONU creating the PPPoE management object instance according to the creation instruction from the OLT, and turning on a PPPoE function switch in the IP host config data management object instance; or the ONU deleting the PPPoE management object instance according to the deletion instruction from the OLT, and turning of the PPPoE function switch in the IP host config data management object instance. The disclosure also discloses a GPON system. With the disclosure, the problem that the existing GPON system cannot support accessing in a manner of PPPoE dial-up is solved, and the PPPoE scenario requirements are met.

An on-demand network connection for a remote user is provided. Responsive to a failure to receive an electronic communication via an established network connection, a remote user device receives a connection request that indicates that the on-demand network connection is to be established. Responsive to receiving the connection request, the on-demand network connection is established from the remote user device to a network. Then, the electronic communication is received on the remote user device via the on-demand network connection.

Techniques for recovering from hierarchical virtual private LAN service (HVPLS) hub connectivity failure with a dynamic spoke pseudowire. According to one embodiment of the invention, a provider edge (PE) network element in the HVPLS hub monitors for a failure of HVPLS hub connectivity failure and reuses an HVPLS spoke connectivity failure recovery mechanism in an MTU by fabricating failure of one or more spoke facing connectivity elements coupling the MTU with the PE network element causing the MTU to transition to a secondary PE network element in the HVPLS hub. In addition, the PE network element establishes a dynamic spoke pseudowire for each virtual instance affected with the MTU to restore HVPLS hub connectivity for that PE network element.

Methods and apparatus for dynamically configuring a parent circuit through a subscriber record on an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server responsive to an authorization event for the subscriber session on the network element. According to one embodiment of the invention, the AAA server accesses the subscriber record for a subscriber session on the network element. Based on this subscriber record, a set of one or more attributes for a subscriber circuit and a set of one or more attributes for a parent circuit of the subscriber circuit are determined. The network element applies the set of subscriber circuit attributes to the subscriber circuit and the set of parent circuit attributes to the parent circuit.
