Patent number: 11775402Abstract: Ensuring the high availability of a Passive Optical Network (PON). A broadband network architecture comprises (a) at least a portion of optical fiber in a communication path to individual subscriber premises, (b) one or more software-implemented Optical Line Terminal (OLT) Controllers, (c) one or more software-implemented Service Provisioning Applications (SPAs), and (d) one or more software-implemented Broadband Network Gateways (BNGs). Each of the one or more OLT Controllers, one or more SPAs, and one or more BNGs execute on Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) computer systems and entirely upon a plurality of protection groups. Each of the plurality of protection groups consists of a plurality of pods. The pods in a particular protection group which are active are dynamically adjusted to ensure the high availability of the broadband network architecture.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2022Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Harmonic, Inc.Inventors: Andrey Ter-Zakhariants, Ihor Kopieichyk, Nagesh Nandiraju, Robert Gaydos, Howard Abramson, Roman Balashevych, Jason Combs

Patent number: 11751103Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for variably selecting and managing a quality of service framework within a network. A network data store may be accessed to obtain information indicating current network conditions, network policies, and/or device scripts. This information may be used to determine whether and when to allocate network resources, such as bandwidth, for particular services within the network to implement quality of service based on current network/link conditions.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2021Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Carl Klatsky, Jason Combs

Publication number: 20180167496Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for network management and configuration. Exemplary methods can comprise communicating a first message to a network device. The first message can specify one of a first protocol or a second protocol. Methods can comprise configuring a first logical address for the network device based at least on the first message. Methods can comprise communicating a second message to the network device. The second message can specify one of a first mode, directing the network device to use the first protocol to connect to a network, or a second mode, directing the network device to use the second protocol to connect to the network. Methods can also comprise receiving a notification to release the first logical address from the network device. Methods can further comprise configuring a second logical address for the network device that can be defined according to the second message.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2017Publication date: June 14, 2018Inventors: John Jason Brzozowski, Jason Combs, Christopher Tuska
