Publication number: 20150012652Abstract: An architecture which permits externalized management of services includes a number of management service capability (MSC) definitions. Each operator may associate a management service capability with a Service/Service Capability for managing various aspects of the Service/Service Capability. An interface enables a variety of different management systems to utilize a common MSC structure, independent of the information models, transport mechanisms and management interface of the system using the MSC. With such an arrangement, management related integration costs associated with integrating and bundling complex multi-media services is significantly reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2014Publication date: January 8, 2015Applicant: ROCKSTAR CONSORTIUM US LPInventors: Sergio Fiszman, Laurence Beaulleu, Paul Ensing, Pierre Fournier, Elizabeth Goldrich, Kevin Howe-Patterson, Michael Leeder, David Price, Chris Ryerson, Richard Taylor

Patent number: 7764677Abstract: The present invention advantageously provides a method, system and apparatus for allocating addresses to secure unique local networks by providing a brokered federated policy and identity management system, the brokered federated policy and identity management system having an address domain manager that allocates network addresses, the address domain manager arranged to interoperate with a network identity management module, the network identity management module providing management of identity at an application level, receiving an authorization from the brokered federated policy and identity management system, and assigning a network address to a unique local network based on the authorization from the brokered federated policy and identity management system. The method, system and apparatus may further include authenticating a user, wherein authenticating a user includes passing an assertion token to a device of the user.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2006Date of Patent: July 27, 2010Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventors: Edwin Koehler, Jr., Sergio Fiszman, Cherif Sleiman

Patent number: 7653189Abstract: A service tender node functions as an intermediary between subscribers and adjunct telecommunications services from multiple service providers to facilitate negotiation of services in real-time. The service tender node includes an index of services which is maintained and employed to search for applicable services in response to a tender request generated by a subscriber. Records in the index are described with an adaptive service definition which includes standard parameters and subjective parameters. The standard parameters identify types of service pursuant to telecommunications industry standards. The subjective parameters may be specified by individual service providers in order to differentiate their services within the service type defined by the standard parameters. Services generated from a search of the index pursuant to the standard parameters may be further sorted and filtered according to a comparison between a subscriber profile and the subjective parameters.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2004Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventors: Pierre Fournier, Laurence Beaulieu, Paul Ensing, Sergio Fiszman, Elizabeth Goldrich, Kevin Howe-Patterson, Michael Leeder, David Price, Chris Ryerson, Richard Taylor

Patent number: 7646725Abstract: Performance of applications such as service capabilities in a container for providing a multimedia service is monitored. Performance monitoring indicates how well the applications are functioning in terms of predefined metrics and also whether the applications are functioning at all. Responses are prompted if performance monitoring indicates that an application is performing below a predefined level or failing to perform entirely. For example, a hung application may be restarted and other applications may alter their manner of function. This allows complex recovery logic through combinations of simple rules.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2004Date of Patent: January 12, 2010Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventors: Martin Soukup, Stephen Gaito, Sergio Fiszman

Patent number: 7580994Abstract: In the service architecture of the invention, each service is viewed as a hierarchical arrangement of service components. At least one management agent is associated with each layer, and is used to manage and preserve the expected performance of the service components. The management agents cooperatively exchange management information regarding the service components at their layers to permit service self-management and self-healing, enabling restoration and recovery with minimum or no human intervention.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2004Date of Patent: August 25, 2009Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventors: Sergio Fiszman, Chris Ryerson, David Price, Elizabeth Goldrich, Kevin Howe-Patterson, Laurence Beaulleu, Michael Leader, Paul Ensing, Pierre Fournier, Richard Taylor

Publication number: 20070150934Abstract: Network policies are managed based at least in-part on user/entity identity information with: a state monitor operable to monitor for state change events in user/entity state and related, network state or in traffic pattern and traffic flow state; an identity manager operable to obtain and validate user credentials; and a policy manager operable in response to a state change event detected by the state monitor (either the identity manager or a defense center) to select a policy based in-part on the user identity obtained by the identity manager or security context obtained by the defense center, and to prompt application of the selected policy. The policies are indicative of user/device authorization entitlements and restrictions to utilization of certain network resources, network services or applications. Dynamic policy selection and targeted responses can be used, for example, against a user who gains network access with stolen user ID and password, and subsequently attempts malicious behavior.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2006Publication date: June 28, 2007Inventors: Sergio Fiszman, David Price, Edwin Koehler
