Patent number: 8934453Abstract: In general, the invention is directed to techniques for offloading mobile data traffic from a mobile core network to a broadband network. For example, as described herein, a breakout gateway forwards a service request from a mobile device and addressed to a service node. The service node designates an access point name (APN) for offload such that data traffic associated with service requests specifying the designated APN is to be offloaded to an offload network. The service node receives the service requests from the breakout gateway and, if the service request specifies the designated APN, the service node sends a request to the breakout gateway. The breakout gateway receives the request and assigns a routable PDP address to the mobile device. An offload module on the breakout gateway redirects mobile data traffic to the offload network when the source PDP address of the traffic is the previously assigned PDP address.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2013Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Jagadishchandra Sarnaik, Sreenivasa Tellakula, Ravi Nuguru, Ujjvala Nangineni, Jerome P.

Patent number: 8706897Abstract: Network devices, such as a router and a downstream multicast distribution device, may use multiple control channels when setting up a multicast stream for a multicast request. For example, first messages may be transmitted using a first protocol to an upstream device over a first channel, the first messages indicating when a first multicast media stream is being requested by at least one of a number of client devices. Second messages may be transmitted using a second protocol over a second channel, the second messages being transmitted on a per-client basis and each identifying a one of the client devices as requesting the first multicast media stream. By using two control channels to convey the multicast channel requests, the router may obtain visibility into the action of the subscriber and can consequently perform per-subscriber operations such as access-control, bandwidth based admission control, statistics, and QoS adjustment for multicast IPTV streams received by the subscriber.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2012Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Sanjay Wadhwa, Jerome P.

Patent number: 8555352Abstract: A network controls provision of access functionality by an access node to provide a network service to a subscriber device. For example, the network device may control the queuing and forwarding of packets by the access node to facilitate packet transmission according to, for example, a Quality of Service class. The network device may send control messages to the access node to dynamically configure a control object stored by the access node, such as a Quality of Service profile. The network device may be a router, and the access node may be a base station that wireless communicates with a subscriber device, e.g., a cellular phone. The access node may then delivery the packets in accordance with the dynamically configured control object.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2009Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Jerome Moisand, Sanjay Wadhwa, Dilip Pillaipakkamnatt
