Patent number: 9544387Abstract: A network device includes a processor and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor. The memory stores instructions causing the processor, after execution of the instructions by the processor, to detect the presence of a client connecting to a network and send a packet to the client indicating that access to a Universal Resource Locator (URL) is a prerequisite to the client communicating over the network in response to the client connecting to the network. The packet includes the URL.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2011Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventor: Yannick Koehler

Patent number: 9456340Abstract: A method is provided for generating a broadcast packet at a first device including an address; transmitting the generated broadcast packet to a second device through a first protocol. The first device may communicate with the second device via the transmitted address through a second protocol different from the first protocol. Alternatively, an apparatus is provided to receive an unsolicited broadcast packet including an address through a wireless, close-by communication protocol; extract from the broadcast packet identification information about the remote device; and store the extracted identification information in association with the remote device. Alternatively, a computer-readable medium is provided storing instructions to receive a an unsolicited broadcast packet including an address through a first protocol; extract from the broadcast packet identification information, including the address and a service available at the remote device; and communicate with the remote device via a second protocol.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2011Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventor: Yannick Koehler

Publication number: 20160173326Abstract: A network controller may include a monitor and a configuration handler. The monitor may determine a service address and a service identifier. The configuration handler may use the service identifier to obtain a configuration for the service address. The configuration handler may also provide the configuration to a network node.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2013Publication date: June 16, 2016Inventor: Yannick KOEHLER

Patent number: 9167612Abstract: A method for minimal synchronized network operations includes making an initial connection between a client and a network, the initial connection being made through a first access point managed by a home controller, the home controller recording session information and authentication data for the client. A subsequent connection is made between the client and the network through a second access point managed by a second controller, the subsequent connection being made communicating the session information and authentication data between the home controller and the second controller, without client reauthentication, and without disrupting existing communication.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2011Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Yannick Koehler, Jocelyn Le Sage, Stephane Laroche

Patent number: 8625462Abstract: Techniques for ownership of an access point are described. An ownership request may be received by a master controller. Ownership of the access point may be determined by the master controller. An ownership response may indicate if a controller shall take ownership of the access point.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2011Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Marc-Olivier Mercier, Yannick Koehler

Patent number: 8503396Abstract: To enable a network apparatus to detect L3 roaming users and to take appropriate forwarding actions, L3 knowledge is introduced inside an L2 bridge forwarding table in the network apparatus. As a client moves from a subnet associated with a first network element to a subnet associated with the network apparatus, a determination is made regarding whether the client is roaming by evaluating a source IP address within a L3 packet header within a first frame received at the network apparatus. If, as a result of the evaluating step, it is determined that the client is roaming, the L2 bridge forwarding table is configured to include a source MAC address of the client together with information identifying a destination interface for use in directing client data traffic back towards the subnet associated with the first network element.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2011Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Richard H. Blanchette, Martin Bouchard, Anil Gupta, Yannick Koehler, Gilbert Moineau, Fréderic D. Mouveaux, Roger D. Sands, Pierre Trudeau

Patent number: 8018900Abstract: To enable devices to detect L3 roaming users and to take appropriate forwarding actions, L3 knowledge is introduced inside a bridge in a non-intrusive way. In particular, as a client moves from a subnet associated with a first network element to a subnet associated with a second network element, a determination is made regarding whether the client is roaming. This is done by evaluating a source IP address within a L3 packet header within a first frame received at the second network element. If, as a result of the evaluating step, it is determined that the client is roaming, an L2 bridge forwarding table in the second network element is configured to include a source MAC address of the client together with information identifying at least a destination interface for use in directing client data traffic back towards the subnet associated with the first network element. The first frame is then forwarded.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2006Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: Richard H.
