Patent number: 8184630Abstract: The invention relates to a method for managing multicast traffic in a data network, and network equipment using said method. Hosts receive from a network interface of a router traffic sent by sources in a multicast group. The hosts and the router communicate with one another by means of a multicast host-router communications protocol by means of which the hosts send to the router messages to request multicast traffic from sources in a multicast group. The router receiving one of said messages obtains in said message identifying data which identify the host that has sent said message, and said router stores in specific records for each network interface of the router, host and multicast group information about the sources the traffic of which has been requested by said host in said messages sent to the router.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2007Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignee: Media Patents, S.L.Inventor: Alvaro Fernández Gutiérrez

Publication number: 20120066382Abstract: A method for lawfully intercepting communication IP packets exchanged between terminals is provided. The method involves assigning an IP address associated with a telecommunication service provider to, for example, a sending terminal for use as its IP address in communications with a receiving terminal, the telecommunication service provider providing SIP proxy services for establishing communication between the sending and receiving terminals. The communication IP packets are intercepted in such a way that the terminals are unaware of the interception.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2011Publication date: March 15, 2012Applicant: MEDIA PATENTS S.L.Inventor: Alvaro Fernández Gutierrez

Publication number: 20120063456Abstract: A method for managing multicast traffic in a data network, and devices using said method. The hosts store for each multicast group an included source record and an excluded source record, and the network interfaces of the hosts send to the router a message containing information about the included source record and information about the excluded source record. The router also stores for each multicast group an included source record and an excluded source record, and updates them when it receives through its network interface a message from the hosts containing information about an included source list and/or information about an excluded source list. The devices are a router, host equipment and network equipment compatible with the method.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2011Publication date: March 15, 2012Applicant: MEDIA PATENTS, S.L.Inventor: Alvaro Fernandez Gutierrez

Patent number: 8064449Abstract: A device, system and method for controlling the flow of multicast data packets from sources sending data to hosts requesting the data. In one implementation, a router is situated in a data network between sources that send multicast data packets directed to a multicast group and hosts requesting to receive the multicast data packets. The router has one or more network interfaces in the direction of the hosts and stores for each network interface, each multicast group address and each host at least one data record arising from one or more data requests made by the hosts which includes multicast group and source information. The router stores executable instructions to receive messages originating from a host, update the status of the data sources for that host and implement the actions according to one or a combination of Tables 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 disclosed herein.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2009Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignee: Media Patents, S.L.Inventor: Alvaro Fernández Gutierrez
