Abstract: A network device includes a statelet storage storing statelets that retain state information associated with a packet flow through the network device and that the network device can interact with to control processing performed on packets of the data flow. The network device implements a set of instructions that interpret commands in the data packets to manage and interact with statelets. The statelets in the statelet storage are organized by a statelet key that is derived from information identifying the packet flow. Responsive to the commands in the packets, the network device can create, read, write, or delete statelets from the statelet storage. The statelet storage includes multiple statelets each statelet including multiple fields. The network device may access the statelets to control/monitor a packet flow using information in a network data plane without receiving control information from a network control plane.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for managing push notifications on a user device. The push notifications may be sent only upon checking/identifying if the user device (associated smart extension) is within a predetermined vicinity of a home gateway network by checking whether respective MAC address entry of the user device is in ARP tables and is in active state, based on which push notifications may be triggered to the user device, wherein the MAC address may be computed and stored by the system. Alternatively, the system may determine if the user device is reachable or not by using IP address (such as ping protocol and other such methods). This facilitates a consistent, power saving along with better reliability of network-based calls or Push notifications, an enhanced user experience and other advantages by sending the push notifications only when the device is connected to home gateway network.
