Patent number: 9232191Abstract: A new approach is proposed that contemplates systems and methods to support the operation of a Virtual Media Room or Virtual Meeting Room (VMR), wherein each VMR can accept from a plurality of participants at different geographic locations a variety of video conferencing feeds of audio and video streams from video conference endpoints. A globally distributed infrastructure that supports operations of the VMR through a plurality of MCUs (Multipoint Control Unit) built from off-the-shelf components instead of custom hardware as media processing nodes, each configured to process the plurality of audio and video streams from the plurality of video conference endpoints in real time.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2013Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: Blue Jeans Networks, Inc.Inventors: Alagu Periyannan, Raghavan Anand, Michael Grupenhoff, Ravi Kiran Kalluri, Emmanuel Weber, Anil Villait

Patent number: 9166884Abstract: A method is provided for a network location service in which one or more packet forwarding devices in the network collect and maintain location data for the devices/users currently connected to a network. The data is maintained locally in each packet forwarding device and may be provided on demand to a network/business application, such as emergency 911 services or a location-based security or personalization system. The location data is provided in real-time or near real-time using an in-band channel communication and/or over the Internet using a standard transport protocol, such as HTTP/S and SOAP web services.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2007Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: EXTREME NETWORKS, INC.Inventors: Nick G. Suizo, Wolfgang Lochner, Anil Villait, Raj Nagarajan

Patent number: 8751649Abstract: A method is provided for a port management system in which a switch is automatically provisioned with network resources. A command or set of commands are stored and automatically executed on the switch upon the occurrence of a defined network event. The command or set of commands may be associated with one or more ports on the switch. When executed, the commands cause a change to a port configuration and/or policy on the switch to control access to a network resource. The network resource may include any device or service accessible on the network. The defined network event may include any network event associated with a device or user connected to the network. The command or set of commands may reference variables, control structures, and functions to modify command execution.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2007Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Extreme NetworksInventors: Anil Villait, Nick G. Suizo, Govind raj Desur, Deepika Dwivedi

Patent number: 8279874Abstract: A self-configuring network comprises network devices that are automatically provisioned with appropriate network resources upon the occurrence of a network event. A profile containing one or more commands to provision a network device with appropriate network resources is deployed to selected connecting devices. The selected connecting devices are targeted for deployment based on the network device and/or port groups to which they belong as determined from a network management system. The profile is bound to the selected connecting devices and affected ports as well as the network events that will trigger execution of the profile on the devices where they are deployed. A graphical user interface and profile information database may be used to facilitate managing the profiles, targeted devices/ports and associated network events.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2007Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Extreme Networks, Inc.Inventors: Zihong Lu, Nick Suizo, Raj Nagarajan, Anil Villait, Wolfgang M.

Publication number: 20060023627Abstract: A computing environment includes a number of nodes, one of which is a primary node that controls the operation of the computing environment and another of which is a backup node that is capable of controlling operation of the computing environment. The primary node includes a hardware management module (HMM) that controls hardware components in the computing environment. The HMM also detects and reports events relating to the hardware components. The primary node further includes a software management module (SMM) that controls instances of software components of the computing environment, and detects and reports events related to the same. A node management module (NMM) in the primary node elects the node as the primary from among the number of nodes. The NMM receives the reports of events from the HMM and SMM, and selectively transfers operational control of the computing environment to a backup node in response to the reports.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2004Publication date: February 2, 2006Inventors: Anil Villait, Michael Yip, Yeeping Zhong
