  • Method and system for modeling behavior of elements in a telecommunications system
    Patent number: 7293082
    Abstract: A node representing a network element is provided. A service state for the node is stored in the node. A service state for a first parent node upon which the node is operationally dependent is stored in the node. In response to a triggering occurrence, a second parent node is dynamically associated with the node. A service state for the second parent node is stored in the node. In response to receiving a new service state for one of the parent nodes, the service state for the node is redetermined based on the service states for the parent nodes.
    Type: Grant

  • Switched architecture access server
    Patent number: 6252878
    Abstract: A communication system includes an access server that communicates information between a wide area network (WAN) and a local area network (LAN). The access server includes a WAN interface, a switch fabric, a number of route processors, and a LAN interface. The switch fabric directs information from the WAN interface to a selected route processor based on its loading characteristics.
