Patent number: 9049099Abstract: An application node advertises service(s), using a label distribution protocol, that it offers to other network nodes and a corresponding label to use to identify these services(s). For example, a Targeted Label Distribution Protocol (tLDP) session may be established between a packet switching device and the application node providing these services to communicate the advertisement. Packets are encapsulated and sent from a service node (e.g., packet switching device) with the corresponding label to have one or more advertised services applied to the packet by an application node (e.g., a packet switching device and/or computing platform such as a Cisco ASR 1000).Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2010Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Carlos M.

Patent number: 9049098Abstract: An application node advertises service(s), using a routing protocol, that it offers to other network nodes. For example, the routing protocol used to advertise service(s) in a Service Provider Network is typically an link-state, Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP), such as, but not limited to, Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) or Open Shortest Path First (OSPF). Packets are encapsulated and sent from a service node (e.g., packet switching device) using one or more advertised services applied to a packet by an application node (e.g., a packet switching device and/or computing platform such as a Cisco ASR 1000).Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2010Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Jim Guichard, David Delano Ward, Cedell Adam Alexander, Jr., Carlos M.

Patent number: 8619773Abstract: Packets are encapsulated and sent from a service node to one or more application nodes for applying one or more Layer-4 to Layer-7 services to the packets. Before which for a packet, the service node performs a lookup operation based on a destination address of the packet in a routing data structure derived from a exterior network protocol, such as, but not limited to Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). This lookup operation results in the identification of a next hop packet switching device to which the packet would be sent from the service node. The service node includes this identification of the next hop address in the request packet sent to the application node(s). After the service(s) are applied to the packet, an application node will send the services-applied packet to this next hop address. In this manner, application nodes do not need to run an exterior network protocol. Although, they typically will run an Interior Gateway Protocol for identifying how to forward packets to the next hop address.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2010Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Clarence Filsfils, Cedell Adam Alexander, Jr., Jim Guichard

Patent number: 8520672Abstract: Packets are encapsulated and sent from a service node (e.g., packet switching device) using one or more services applied to a packet by an application node (e.g., a packet switching device and/or computing platform such as a Cisco ASR 1000) to generate a result, which is used by the service node to process packets of a flow of packets to which the packet belonged. An example of a service applied to a packet is a classification service, such as, but not limited to, using deep packet inspection on the packet to identify a classification result. The service node can, for example, use this classification result to process other packets in a same packet flow, such that all packets of a flow do not need to be, nor typically are, sent to an application node for processing.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2010Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Jim Guichard, David Delano Ward, Cedell Adam Alexander, Jr., Brian Lance Hiltscher, Doron Oz
