Abstract: An access node for a telecommunications network is partitioned into a front end unit and a back end unit coupled by an internet protocol (IP) packet based communication link to provide for data and control packets to be sent between the back end unit and the front end unit. The front end unit performs physical layer and media access layer (MAC) sublayer processing for data for transmission to/from user equipment in the network using baseband processing units that perform highly parallel floating/fixed point operations. The back end unit includes a plurality of general purpose processors to provide data link layer and network layer processing. back end portions may be pooled to provide greater efficiency.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products producing, transporting, and capturing network traffic data are provided. The method includes associating a mirroring policy with a service profile assigned to a service subscriber, the service subscriber identified by a static Internet Protocol address. The method also includes associating a routing policy with the service profile. Upon detecting an active session for the service subscriber, the method includes mirroring traffic data generated as a result of subscriber activity, the mirroring implemented in accordance with the mirroring policy. The method further includes routing the mirrored traffic data through a public network to a central collection facility in accordance with the routing policy.

Abstract: A system and methodology that provides management services during local breakout at a femto access point (FAP) is provided. In particular, the FAP facilitates policy management and employs a policy component to perform an analysis and enforce a set of policies for dynamically selecting an optimal route for traffic received at the FAP based on a decision-making process. Typically, the set of policies can specify different routes based on various factors, such as, but not limited to, type of traffic, current and/or future network resource availability, current time, day and/or date, location of the FAP, location of a UE sending/receiving the traffic, a lowest cost route, and/or route based on cost-benefit, etc. Further, a monitoring component is employed to observe the route employed by that traffic, which can be utilized by various services, such as, billing, Quality of Service, security management, address management, failure management and/or provisioning.

Abstract: A system and method to provide enhanced computer network services to computer network subscribers. A static route is created in the subscriber's computer to establish a continuous logical connection between the subscriber's computer and a continuous service provider to provide the subscriber with continuous services. Simultaneously, subscribers can obtain services offered by temporary service providers over the network. To obtain these services, the system establishes a temporary logical connection between the user and the temporary service provider. The temporary logical connection is destroyed when the user has completed using the desired services of the temporary service provider. To increase security, the continuous service provider is not directly connected to systems not controlled by the continuous service provider, such as the Internet. However, where such security concerns are not relevant, the continuous service provider can be connected to such systems.
