Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods for receiving one or more input signals and providing output signals in various video, audio, data and mixed formats are described. One or more input processors receive the input signals. Each of the input processors provides one or more packetized signals corresponding to one or more of the input signals received at the input processor. Each output processor can receive one or more packetized signals and generate or more output signals. The output signals correspond to one or more of the input signals, additional locally generated signals or data relating to the signals or any combination of such signals. Use of a packet router according to the invention allows input signals encoded as one set of packetized signals to be recombined to provide additional packetized signals incorporating the same or different combinations of the packetized signals.

Abstract: A technique for providing network access in accordance with at least one layered network access technology comprising layer 1 processes and layer 2 processes is described. In a device implementation, the technique comprises a shared memory adapted to store at least layer 1 data and layer 2 data as well as a memory access component coupled to the shared memory and comprising a first client port adapted to receive memory access requests from a layer 1 processing client and a second client port adapted to receive memory access requests from a layer 2 processing client. The memory access component is configured to serve a memory access request from the layer 1 processing client with a lower priority than a memory access request from the layer 2 processing client. In particular, the memory access component may be adapted to prioritize reading of layer 1 data by the layer 2 processing client over writing of layer 2 data by the layer 1 processing client.

Otherwise, decoding the one or more services may not be performed.

Abstract: A network management system (NMS) maintains topology information of a network allowing coexistence of PDH network and SDH network. The network management system (NMS) generates a topology data for path calculation in a path calculation device in accordance with the topology information of the network after converting topology information of the PDH network into topology information of an SDH network. The path calculation device calculates the optimum path in answer to a path calculation request from the network management system (NMS) on the basis of the topology data for path calculation generated therein, and returns the calculation result. The network management system (NMS) reverts the SDH network topology information generated through conversion from the PDH network topology information among the SDH network topology information included in the calculation result received from the path calculation device to the PDH network topology information before the conversion.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method and a system for obtaining home agent information of a mobile node. The method includes: when a DHCPv6 server receives a request message from a mobile node, it obtains the home agent information of the mobile node; the DHCPv6 server includes the home agent information into the response message, and sends the response to the mobile node. With embodiments of the present invention, a mobile node may obtain its home agent information (such as its home agent address information) simultaneously when it requests related information. When the request message is a home address request message or a care-of address request message, the invention provides a clearly defined process for a mobile node to obtain home agent information when it is started up on a home link or foreign link. The invention avoids a special message interaction procedure to obtain home agent information.
