Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include a system, computer program product, and method for routing a call over a packet network. A call request may be received from a calling party to call a called party at a network address. At least one potential call path over a packet network may be determined to connect the calling party to the called party at the network address. Network performance information associated with each potential call path may be accessed and a determination may be made that each of the call paths are impaired or congested. In response to determining that each of the call paths are impaired or congested, the call may be routed over a call path other than one of the at least one potential call paths to enable the calling party to communicate with the called party.

Abstract: A data transmitting device divides application data into packets, transmits the packets, and continuously carries out packet transmission while receiving acknowledgement from a receiving device of the transmitted packets. The application data to be transmitted is stored in a data storage area of a data storage unit. The data is read from the data storage area, a sequence number is set, and the data is transmitted as the packet. If the read data is within a predetermined length from an end of the application data, a copy of the read data is saved in a temporary buffer area of the data storage unit. When data of a sequence number before that of first data of next application data is to be transmitted after transmission of the next application data is started, the data is read from the temporary buffer area of the data storage unit.

The notification includes information about the condition in the first part of the circuit, the condition preventing a response to the transaction from being received by the initiator.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for transmitting/receiving a Channel State Information-Reference Symbol (CSI-RS) in a relay network system are provided. The method for transmitting a CSI-RS in a relay network system includes selecting a subframe to transmit a CSI-RS, from DownLink (DL) subframes, transmitting, to a receive end, identifying information indicating that a CSI-RS is transmitted at the selected subframe, and transmitting a CSI-RS at the selected subframe.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for efficient communication of producer/consumer buffer status. With the mechanism, devices in a data processing system notify each other of updates to head and tail pointers of a shared buffer region when the devices perform operations on the shared buffer region using signal notification channels of the devices. Thus, when a producer device that produces data to the shared buffer region writes data to the shared buffer region, an update to the head pointer is written to a signal notification channel of a consumer device. When a consumer device reads data from the shared buffer region, the consumer device writes a tail pointer update to a signal notification channel of the producer device. In addition, channels may operate in a blocking mode so that the corresponding device is kept in a low power state until an update is received over the channel.

Abstract: Methods and systems for collecting, analyzing, and presenting traffic loads in each part of a storage area network are described. These methods and systems account for various resource types, logical access paths, and relationships among different storage environment components. Data traffic flow is managed in terms of resource planning and consumption. The aggregated information is stored, and may be used to estimate future data traffic loads or determine deviations between projected and actual traffic load status from which adjustments may be made to better predict and manage future data traffic load.

Abstract: A system receives a first request for data associated with a data stream received over a first network from a remote source and then determines when the requested data will be available based on analyzing the data stream. The system communicates a second request for the requested data over a second network to the remote source when the requested data will not be available from the data stream within a threshold time and receives the requested data from the remote source over at least one from the list including the first network and the second network.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for transmitting a message in a Hierarchical Layer 2 Virtual Private Network (H-L2VPN). A destination MAC address, to which a message is to be forwarded upon receiving the message, is determined by a first peer node of the network. The first peer node determines whether one or more equivalent pseudo wires (PWs) connected thereto form a path to the destination MAC address. When it is determined that more than one equivalent PW forms a path to the destination MAC address, an arbitrary equivalent PW is selected from the more than one equivalent PW by the first peer node. The first peer node sends the message, via the selected equivalent PW, to a second peer node of the network connected to the selected equivalent PW for forwarding to the destination MAC address.

Abstract: A media negotiation method for an IP multimedia link is used in the process of establishing an IP multimedia link between a first entity and a second entity via an application server (AS) of an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS). AS sends the second entity an invite message, which includes media resource information of the first entity; When AS receives a message with media resource information from the second entity before an answer message is received or after it receives a response message with media resource information from the second entity, AS sends an IMS re-invite message without media source information to the first entity; the AS, after receiving the IMS signaling message with media resource information from the first entity, sends the first entity the media resource information returned by the second entity. The present invention is applicable to an IMS centralized service and may effectively reduce the number of steps and the time required after response for media resource re-negotiation.

Abstract: Mobile network services are performed in a mobile data network in a way that is transparent to most of the existing equipment in the mobile data network. The mobile data network includes a radio access network and a core network. A first service mechanism in the radio access network breaks out data coming from a basestation, and performs one or more mobile network services based on the broken out data. A second service mechanism in the core network performs one or more mobile network services based on the network traffic remaining after the first service mechanism performs its breakout. An optional third service mechanism coupled to the core network provides one or more mobile network services in the mobile data network. An overlay network allows the first, second and third service mechanisms to communicate with each other. The overlay network is preferably a private virtual network.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include a system, computer program product, and method for routing a call over a packet network. A call request may be received from a calling party to call a called party at a network address. At least one potential call path over a packet network may be determined to connect the calling party to the called party at the network address. Network performance information associated with each potential call path may be accessed and a determination may be made that each of the call paths are impaired or congested. In response to determining that each of the call paths are impaired or congested, the call may be routed over a call path other than one of the at least one potential call paths to enable the calling party to communicate with the called party.

Abstract: The present invention concerns content searches in a distributed environment such as in an IPv6 network. This is achieved by deriving a multicast address from a string associated with the content to be searched. The searching party and the server owning the content use a common function for deriving this multicast address. The content owner listens to this multicast address and the searching party sends requests for the content on that multicast address.
