Patent number: 7573814Abstract: A method and apparatus for mesh based protection of an optical network is described. A method comprises protecting a first set of one or more optical sub-channels with automatic protection switching, utilizing a second and third set of one or more optical sub-channels to transmit traffic in accordance with a mesh process to transmit traffic, and transmitting traffic in the third set of optical sub-channels, which would have been transmitted in the second set of optical sub-channels, in accordance with routes determined by the mesh process in response to an alarm indicating a failure affecting the second set of optical sub-channels.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2002Date of Patent: August 11, 2009Assignee: Redback Networks Inc.Inventors: Siegfried Luft, Thomas Meehan, Gerald W.

Publication number: 20050152370Abstract: Protocols for messaging between a centralized network management system and other entities are described. According to one embodiment, in response to a request of a subscriber for joining a multicast group received at a centralized aggregation server, the centralized aggregation server transmits a port subscriber announcement (PSA) message to substantially all subscriber access multiplexers over an access network. The PSA message includes an identifier (ID) of the subscriber. In response to the PSA message, a subscriber access multiplexer having a subscriber matching the ID of the subscriber in the PSA message identifies a user port corresponding to the subscriber and applies a local service policy to the identified user port.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2004Publication date: July 14, 2005Inventors: Thomas Meehan, Naiming Shen, Liming Wei

Patent number: 6888837Abstract: A technique for translating addresses in a communication network having multiple overlapping address domains involves mapping an overlapping local address from a first address domain to a unique global address that is specific to a second address domain. The unique global address is used by any device in the second address domain to reference the device in the first address domain having the overlapping local address. Furthermore, a packet sent from a source host in the first address domain to a destination host in the second address domain requires at least a source address translation in order to translate the source host local address used within the first address domain into a source host global address that is used within the second address domain, and may also require a destination address translation in order to translate the destination host global address used within the first address domain into a destination host local address used within the second address domain.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 1999Date of Patent: May 3, 2005Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventors: Timothy Cunningham, Thomas Meehan, Manish Patel

Patent number: 6493765Abstract: A technique for domain name resolution in a communication network having multiple overlapping address domains involves translating a destination host domain name into a destination host local address that is ambiguous within the communication network, and then translating the destination host local address into a unique destination host global address. A domain name system proxy uses a domain name system server in the destination address domain to translate the destination host domain name into the destination host local address, and uses a network address translator to translate the destination host local address into the destination host global address.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 1999Date of Patent: December 10, 2002Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventors: Timothy Cunningham, Thomas Meehan, Manish Patel, Greg Koester
