Communicating Data Units In A Communications Network That Provides Failure Protection

View page
US Patent:
8213300, Jul 3, 2012
Filed:
Dec 20, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/642202
Inventors:
John J. Osswald - Northbridge MA, US
Robert J. Friskney - Harlow, GB
Michael K. Poon - Westford MA, US
Florin S. Balus - Cupertino CA, US
Simon P. Parry - Harlow, GB
Assignee:
Rockstar Bidco, LP - New York NY
International Classification:
H04L 12/28
US Classification:
370218, 370228, 709239
Abstract:
A node comprises a first communications interface to a customer network element, where the first communications interface is part of a group of communications interfaces to the customer network element to provide failover support. The node further includes a network interface to communicate over a trunk group to other nodes, where the trunk group includes a primary trunk and a secondary trunk. Just one of the primary and secondary trunks is active for communicating data units.

Multi-Protocol Support Over Ethernet Packet-Switched Networks

View page
US Patent:
8331243, Dec 11, 2012
Filed:
Feb 23, 2007
Appl. No.:
12/278294
Inventors:
Dinesh Mohan - Kanata, CA
Florin Balus - Cupertino CA, US
Assignee:
Rockstar Consortium USLP - Richardson TX
International Classification:
H04L 12/26
US Classification:
3702411, 370250, 370251, 3703955
Abstract:
Described are methods and communications network for carrying pseudowires over packet-switched network. A communication network includes a packet-switched network (PSN), a first provider edge (PE) device in communication with a second PE device through the PSN, and a pseudowire (PW) established between the PE devices for emulating a service across the PSN. The PW has a Virtual Circuit Connection Verification (VCCV) control channel that carries an Ethernet Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) message. In some embodiments, various data plane encapsulation formats enable a PW to emulate an Ethernet or a non-Ethernet service over an Ethernet PSN. Each encapsulation format includes an Ethernet tunnel header and a PW header that encapsulates an Ethernet or non-Ethernet payload.

Failure Protection In A Provider Backbone Bridge Network Using Forced Mac Flushing

View page
US Patent:
20080225695, Sep 18, 2008
Filed:
Jan 10, 2008
Appl. No.:
11/972139
Inventors:
Florin Balus - Cupertino CA, US
Kendall William Harvey - Sunnyvale CA, US
Joe Regan - Pleasanton CA, US
Paul Kwok - Mountain View CA, US
International Classification:
H04L 1/00
US Classification:
370216
Abstract:
A technique for operating a network involves controlling the black-holing of traffic by forcing customer source MAC address (CMAC)-to-backbone source MAC address (BMAC) associations at provider backbone bridge (PBB) provider edge (PE) devices to be flushed from their corresponding forwarding information bases (FIBs) in response to a service failure so that new CMAC-to-BMAC associations, which are reflective of a secondary traffic path, are learned faster than they would otherwise be learned if the network had relied on native functionality to learn new CMAC-to-BMAC associations that are reflective of the secondary traffic path.

Failure Protection In A Provider Backbone Bridge Network Using Selective Redirection

View page
US Patent:
20080228943, Sep 18, 2008
Filed:
Jan 10, 2008
Appl. No.:
11/972173
Inventors:
Florin Balus - Cupertino CA, US
Kendall William Harvey - Sunnyvale CA, US
Joe Regan - Pleasanton CA, US
Paul Kwok - Mountain View CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 15/173
US Classification:
709239
Abstract:
A technique for operating a network involves controlling the black-holing of traffic by selectively redirecting unicast traffic destined for a dual-homed customer equipment (CE) device from a first provider backbone bridge (PBB) provider edge (PE) device to a second PBB PE device in response to a service failure. Unicast traffic is selectively redirected from the first PBB PE device to the second PBB PE device for a time interval that is long enough to enable the customer source MAC address (CMAC)-to-backbone MAC address (BMAC) association of the second PBB PE device to be learned by other PBB PE devices.

Wim Henderickx - Westerlo, BE
International Classification:
H04L 12/28
H04L 12/56
US Classification:
370390, 37039553
Abstract:
The invention includes a method and apparatus for distributing flooding labels within a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) infrastructure supporting Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Media Access Control (MAC) Virtual Private Networking (VPN).

Method And Apparatus For Controlling Multiple Registration Protocol (Mrp) Scope Using Mrp Policies

View page
US Patent:
20120147882, Jun 14, 2012
Filed:
Dec 13, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/966299
Inventors:
Florin Balus - Cupertino CA, US
Jeroen Dhollander - Sint-Niklaas, BE
International Classification:
H04L 12/56
US Classification:
370389
Abstract:
A Multiple Registration Protocol (MRP) advertisement control capability is provided. A method includes receiving an MRP advertisement at a device configured as an interface between a core domain and a local domain and determining handling of the MRP advertisement at the device using at least one MRP policy stored on the device. The core domain may be a Provider Backbone Bridging (PBB) network or other suitable core network. The local domain may be one of a PBB network, a Provider Bridging Network (PBN), a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), and the like. In one case, when the MRP advertisement is associated with a local service of the local domain, the MRP policy indicates that the MRP advertisement is not to be forwarded via the core domain. In one case, when the MRP advertisement is associated with an inter-domain service supported by the local domain, the MRP policy indicates that the MRP advertisement is to be forwarded to the core domain when received from the local domain and is to be forwarded to the local domain when received from the core domain.
