Patent number: 10608920Abstract: A test webpage triggers a remote computer to obtain a token for the performance test from a test data collection server. The test webpage triggers the remote computer to transmit the token to a reflector server to initiate the performance test. The reflector server initiates the performance test upon validating the token. The reflector server performs bidirectional communication of test data over a Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) data channel using a loss tolerant protocol with the remote computer. The remote computer is able to determine computer-endpoint test results from the bidirectional communication of test data. The reflector server determines server-endpoint test results from the bidirectional communication of test data. The reflector server transmits the server-endpoint test results to the remote computer. The test webpage triggers the remote computer to transmit the computer-endpoint and the server-endpoint test results to the test data collection server.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2018Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: MARTELLO TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATIONInventors: Geoff Stewart, Douglas Bellinger

Patent number: 7860953Abstract: A system and method automates and simplifies tasks associated with setting up a user self-activating network-based service. A configurable input engine is configured to define the service. The service may, for example, use a plurality of networking devices and/or computing devices. After the service is defined, an offer of the service is published to a user. The offer includes values of commercial terms and/or values of configuration parameters associated with the offer. Upon receiving an acceptance of the offer from the user, the configurable input engine automatically generates activations for the devices to be used by the service. The activations are sent to policy distribution points (PDPs) where the activations are translated into device-specific instructions. The device-specific instructions are in turn sent to the devices (networking devices and/or computing devices) to be configured. The device-specific instructions configure the devices, thereby automatically setting up the service for the user.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2006Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: Sonus Networks, Inc.Inventors: Douglas Bellinger, Richard Burke, Thomas Phillips, Antonino Argentina, Andrea Baptiste, Gaetan Delahousse, Geoff Stewart, Wendy Raoux, Luc Richard, Stephanie Bazin, Scott Brookes, Patrick Rhude

Patent number: 7506147Abstract: A “policy distribution point” (PDP) allows service drivers to be installed remotely and automatically without rebooting the PDP or otherwise interrupting existing network-based services. The exposure of sensitive configuration data to non-secure networks is minimized by placing PDPs close to the devices to be configured. Service drivers on the PDP can be reused to configure multiple devices of the same type. The PDP receives an “activation” and uses a service driver on the PDP to translate the activation into “device-specific instructions.” The device-specific instructions are sent to a device and configure the device to set up the network-based service. One or more PDPs can be used to configure both computing device and networking devices to provide a single service.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2006Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Assignee: Sonus Networks, Inc.Inventors: Douglas Bellinger, Richard Burke, Thomas Phillips, Antonino Scaffidi Argentina, Andrea Baptiste, Gaetan Delahousse, Geoff Stewart, Wendy Raoux, Luc Richard, Stephanie Bazin, Scott Brookes, Patrick Rhude

Publication number: 20080114832Abstract: A system allows subscribers quickly to self-activate network-based services by automatically configuring network elements. A service provider preconfigures a state machine on a core server. At the time of self-activation, activations are sent to policy distribution points (PDPs) that translate the activations into device-specific instructions, which in turn configure network elements to provide services. The speed of self-activation is increased by generating activations faster in the core server, by translating activations into device-specific instructions faster in the PDPs, and by separating the configuration of the network elements from complex registration steps. Initiation steps that configure network elements are performed faster by an initiation module that reads from, but does not write to, databases. Subscribers perform dynamic service selection using the initiation module.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2007Publication date: May 15, 2008Inventors: Douglas Bellinger, Richard Burke, Thomas Phillips, Antonino Argentina, Geoff Stewart, Wendy Raoux, Patrick Rhude

Publication number: 20020169858Abstract: A central Service Creation Platform (SCP) is located at the service provider's premises. The SCP gives service providers a common platform from which to create and deploy new services, manage services, and record and aggregate billing records. The SCP includes a (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) LDAP database that stores policies associated with the various distributed network elements. The SCP is connected to Service Delivery Agents (SDAs) distributed throughout the network, which in turn are connected to Managed Elements (MEs). The MEs are hardware or software elements that provide the services to users. The SDAs control the MEs and, depending on the type of ME, can monitor the activity of the ME.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2001Publication date: November 14, 2002Inventors: Doug Bellinger, Richard Burke, Pat Rhude, Tom Phillips, Geoff Stewart, Wendy Raoux
