Abstract: An application gateway including application service programming positioned at a user premises can provide voice controlled and managed services to a user and one or more endpoint devices associated with the application gateway. The application gateway can be controlled remotely by the application service provider through a service management center and configured to execute an application service provided from the application service provider. The application gateway can execute the application service at the user premises upon voice command by a user and independent of application services executing on the application service provider's network. An application service logic manager can communicate with an application service enforcement manager to verify that the request conforms with the policy and usage rules associated with the application service in order to authorize execution of the application service on the application gateway, either directly or through endpoint devices.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for forwarding an MPLS data packet are provided, which are used in an environment of hybrid networking of an SR network and a non-SR network. The method is as follows: when obtaining a to-be-sent MPLS data packet, a first SR router in an SR network determines whether a next-hop router supports an SR characteristic; the first SR router encapsulates the MPLS data packet into an IP tunnel when determining that the next-hop router does not support the SR characteristic, and sends an encapsulated MPLS data packet to the next-hop router to enable the encapsulated MPLS data packet to be forwarded, based on an IP routing table, to a second SR router. In this way, correct forwarding of an MPLS data packet is completed in an environment of hybrid networking of an SR router and a non-SR router.
