  • Patent number: 10581741
    Abstract: One embodiment provides a system for facilitating efficient communication of an interest group packet indicating a collection of interests. During operation, the system receives, by an intermediate node, a first packet which has a name and indicates a set of member interests, wherein a member interest has a name, wherein a name is a hierarchically structured variable length identifier that includes contiguous name components ordered from a most general level to a most specific level. In response to obtaining a content object which satisfies a member interest, the system removes the indicated member interest from the first packet. The system adds an entry in a pending interest table for the first packet, wherein the entry indicates the name for the first packet, the name for each member interest, and an indicator of whether each member interest is satisfied. The system transmits the first packet to another node.

  • Patent number: 10536877
    Abstract: A wireless access point (WAP) determines whether to switch from one or more first communication channels to one or more second communication channels when the one or more first communication channels are experiencing congestion. The WAP determines an amount of congestion the one or more first communication channels are experiencing. When the one or more first communication channels are experiencing congestion, the WAP determines whether one or more communication devices can support, or reliably support, a channel switching announcement signal using the one or more first communication channels. If a sufficient number of communication devices from among the one or more communication devices can support, or reliably support, the channel switching announcement signal, the WAP broadcasts the channel switching announcement signal to the one or more communication devices to announce its intention to switch from the one or more first communication channels to the one or more second communication channels.

  • Patent number: 10523450
    Abstract: Operations include determining billing for data being transmitted out of an Autonomous System (AS). An internal node in the AS determines billing for a packet transmitted out of the AS based at least on an egress path of the packet. The packet is received at the internal node in the AS via a particular overlay network of a plurality of overlay networks. Each overlay network may be associated with a corresponding tenant of a set of tenants. The internal node selects an egress path of the packet based on one or more characteristics of the packet. The egress path and the overlay network are mapped directly or indirectly to a billing counter. The billing counter is incremented based on (a) the transmission of the packet on the overlay network to the egress gateway and (b) transmission of the packet out of the AS on the selected egress path.
