  • Patent number: 10819585
    Abstract: A network device that determines RACH root sequences for AP devices within a given market. The network device can utilize a specialized graph coloring process or algorithm that has been adapted to, e.g., ensure that no two neighboring AP devices share the same RACH root sequences, provided certain additional constraints not found in graph coloring theory are met. For example, AP devices can have multiple RACH root sequence, whereas in traditional graph coloring problems, each vertex typically has only one color.

  • Patent number: 10778563
    Abstract: Technologies are provided for managing routing updates within computer networks using brick identifier (ID) values. For example, brick ID values can be assigned to bricks of routers within a network. When a router of the network receives a routing update, the router can check the brick ID value of the routing update and compare it to its assigned brick ID value. If the brick ID values match, then the router can process the routing update using a preferred procedure. If the brick ID values do not match, then the router can process the routing update using a standard procedure. The preferred procedure can result in faster convergence of routing changes within the network.

  • Patent number: 10779220
    Abstract: A chip is coupled to a device. The device stores at least one configuration parameter for configuring an access to an Internet type network. According to the invention, the chip stores data relating to at least two subscriptions. The method comprises the following steps. The chip de-activates a first subscription. The chip activates a second subscription. The second subscription is distinct from the first subscription, as a previously active subscription. The second subscription is a currently active subscription. The chip detects whether the device does or does not read a currently active subscription. Only if the device reads a currently active subscription, then the chip detects whether at least one configuration parameter does or does not allow accessing an Internet type network. Only if at least one configuration parameter does not allow accessing an Internet type network, then the chip ascertains that at least one configuration parameter is corrupted.

  • Patent number: 10778613
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing packet flow in a local network in a manner that allows network devices at the edge of the network to use minimal buffer memory while maximizing use of bandwidth allocated on an interconnect between the local network and an external network. Packet flows facing external network problems are scaled back, reducing redundant traffic on the interconnect and allowing for use of small buffers in edge devices. A flow source marks a subset of packets within a flow for preferential treatment within the local network. The flow source then adjusts the flow rate only responsive to failures in transmission of the marked packets. In some implementations, an edge device removes the markings prior to packet egress. The local network honors the preferential treatment markings such that a loss of a marked packet is more likely to occur on an external network than on the local network.
