Abstract:
A process for communicating utility-related data over at least one network is described, the process includes: collecting utility-related data at a hub device during a first predetermined period of time; securing the utility-related data at the hub device using digital envelopes during the first predetermined period of time; initiating by the hub device an autonomous wake up process during a second predetermined period of time; sending the secure utility-related data over a first network to a designated server via at least one User Datagram protocol ("UDP") message during the second predetermined period of time; and receiving an acknowledgement of receipt message of the at least one UDP message from the designated server; wherein the first and second predetermined periods of time typically do not overlap, but may overlap.
Abstract:
A service module of a gateway for communicating 6LoWPAN network to IPv6 network is described. The module describes a network join packet to establish initial connection between 6LoWPAN network and IPv6 network. Predetermined IPv6 prefix is added to EUI-64 address to generate a mapping table of IPv6 prefix to EUI-64 address. The gateway supports pull-based and push-based communication system. In pull-based communication system, an IPv6 client request data from a particular node. The node replies the request with sensor data to IPv6 client. Push-based communication is used when 6LoWPAN nodes proactively sends data to a dedicated IPv6 remote station.
Abstract:
In a computer network (100), a method transporting a PCI Express packet (235) from an initiator PCI Express node (202) over an IP packet network (210) to a receiver PCI Express node (204), can include the initiator PCI Express node creating the PCI Express packet and reading a global PCI Express destination address (352) of the PCI Express packet. The initiator PCI Express node can map the global PCI Express destination address to a receiver PCI Express node IP address (242). The PCI Express packet can be encapsulated in an IP packet (236). The IP packet with the encapsulated PCI Express packet can be communicated over an IP packet network (210) to receiver PCI Express node.
Abstract:
A network includes network nodes (12a and 12b) and a gateway (20). Each network node (12a) has a corresponding unique in-site Ipv6 address (16a) for communication with the site (14), each in-site address having a first Ipv6 address prefix that is not advertised outside the site. Network nodes can obtain from within the site a unique extra-site Ipv6 address for mobile or extra-site communications (26a). The extra-site Ipv6 address has a second Ipv6 address prefix, distinct from the first Ipv6 address prefix, advertised by the gateway (20) to the prescribed site (14) and the wide area network (22). The gateway establishes a tunnel (24) to each in-site node (12a) using extra-site and in-site Ipv6 addresses a binding cache entry specifying the addresses.

Abstract:
A method for communicating between a cellular system and a mobile terminal by way of a standard wireless LAN and the Internet allows data communications to traverse the core of the cellular network, thereby allowing monitoring of the time and volume usage by the subscriber for billing purposes. The user terminal has a communication protocol for communicating with the wireless LAN, over which is a EAP/EAPOL protocol. A Radio Adaptation Layer (RAL) protocol overlies the EAP/EAPOL protocol. At the cellular system, a Serving GPRS Support Node has a RAL/EAP/TCP-IP protocol for providing communications between the wireless LAN and the cellular system by way of the Internet.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for exchanging reachability information and for switching between redundant interfaces in a network cluster are disclosed. Nodes in the network cluster are connected via redundant links and exchange reachability messages at periodic intervals. Each node includes a kernel routing table used to route messages and a reachability application routing table for storing reachability information used to update entries in the kernel routing table. Each node executes a predetermined algorithm for selecting entries in the reachability application routing table to be written to the kernel routing table.
