Abstract: In some examples, a network device may determine whether a first egress network device is segment routing (SR) aware. Based on the first egress network device being SR aware, the network device may initiate establishment of an SR tunnel toward the first egress network device. The network device may forward multicast traffic on the SR tunnel. The network device may also determine whether a second egress network device is SR aware. Based on the second egress network device not being segment routing aware, the network device may initiate establishment of a non-SR tunnel toward the second egress network device. The network device may forward multicast traffic on the non-SR tunnel.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless node may transmit directional signals in a sweeping transmission pattern while receiving communications from a second wireless node. Another wireless node may then, during a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure, receive one of the directional signals, and terminate a correspondence communication session to avoid potential interference. Additionally or alternatively, a wireless node may listen in directions in a sweeping receive pattern while transmitting to a second wireless node. While listening, the wireless node may detect a transmission from a third wireless node in a particular direction. The wireless node may then accordingly refrain from transmitting in that direction to avoid potential interference.

Abstract: A node of a data network receives data packets (200). For at least one of the received data packets (200), the node determines whether the data packet (200) is a guaranteed data packet which is subject to a guarantee that the data packet is not dropped and not delayed by more than a certain delay limit or a non-guaranteed data packet which is not subject to the guarantee. Based on a worst case calculation of a delay experienced by a data packet forwarded by the node, the node configures a resource contingent with a maximum amount of resources which is more than a minimum amount of resources required to meet the guarantee. Further, the node assigns resources to the resource contingent and identifies resources in excess of the minimum amount as excess resources. In response to determining that the data packet (200) is a non-guaranteed data packet and determining that sufficient excess resources are present, the node forwards the data packet (200) based on the excess resources.

Abstract: A method, based on operations of parsing a set into two subsets and then multiplying elements of one subset by those of the other subsets, for expanding the assignable Internet IPv4 public address pool consists of introducing a new category of routers, named Semi-Public Router (SPR), utilizing addresses within a reserved address block by transporting such as data via an existing mechanism within the IPv4 protocol. Each SPR is to be deployed inline between an Edge Router and a subscriber premises that it serves, resulting in the additional addressing capacity for serving many more subscribers. This enhanced operation is fundamentally transparent to current Internet equipment. Consequently, existing routers are not affected, thus no modification is imposed on their current practices.
