Patent number: 8879734Abstract: A light-weight resilient mechanism is used to synchronize server secure keying data with member devices in a highly-scalable distributed group virtual private network (VPN). A server device generates an initial secure keying data set, for the VPN, that includes a first version identifier, and sends, to member devices and via point-to-point messages, the secure keying data set. The server device sends, to the member devices, heartbeat push messages including the first version identifier. The server device generates an updated secure keying data set with a second version identifier and sends, to the member devices, a key push message that includes the updated data set. The server device sends, to the member devices, heartbeat push messages including the second version identifier. Member devices may use the first and second version identifiers to confirm that secure keying data sets are current and quickly identify if updates are missed.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2013Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Anthony Ng, Chih-Wei Chao, Nagavenkata Suresh Melam, Nilesh Kumar Maheshwari

Publication number: 20140112667Abstract: Systems, components, and methods for providing location services for mobile/wireless client devices in distributed antenna systems using additional signal propagation delay are disclosed. The location of a client device communicating with an antenna in the distributed antenna system can be correlated to location within at least the communication range of an antenna. To determine with which particular antenna within the distributed antenna system a client device is communicating, the antennas within the distributed antenna system are uniquely identified. In this regard, additional propagation delays are introduced in the communication paths between some or all of the antennas and the head-end equipment in distributed antenna systems to distinguish communications between different antennas. The additional propagation delay can be correlated with a unique antenna, which in turn can be correlated to distance within the distributed antenna system.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2013Publication date: April 24, 2014Applicant: CORNING CABLE SYSTEMS LLCInventors: Ulrich W. Neukirch, Anthony Ng'Oma

Patent number: 8634560Abstract: A server device initiates a traffic encapsulation key (TEK) re-key sequence for a group virtual private network (VPN), based on an upcoming expiration time for an existing TEK. The server device sends, via a push message during a first time period immediately after the initiating, a new TEK to members of the group VPN. The server device receives, during a second time period that immediately follows the first time period, a pull request, for the new TEK, from one of the members of the group VPN, and sends, to the one of the members, the new TEK, where the re-key sequence transitions all the members of the group VPN from the existing TEK key to the new TEK key before the expiration time for the existing TEK.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2010Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Anthony Ng, Chih-Wei Chao, Suresh Melam, I-Wen Michelle Hsiung

Publication number: 20130230325Abstract: Optical network units (ONUs) for high bandwidth connectivity, and related components and methods are disclosed. A fiber optical network ends at an ONU, which may communicate with a subscriber unit wirelessly at an extremely high frequency avoiding the need to bury cable on the property of the subscriber. In one embodiment, an optical network unit (ONU) is provided. The ONU comprises a fiber interface configured to communicate with a fiber network. The ONU further comprises an optical/electrical converter configured to receive optical downlink signals at a first frequency from the fiber network through the fiber interface and convert the optical downlink signals to electrical downlink signals. The ONU further comprises electrical circuitry configured to frequency convert electrical downlink signals to extremely high frequency (EHF) downlink signals at an EHF, and a wireless transceiver configured to transmit the EHF downlink signals to a proximate subscriber unit through an antenna.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2012Publication date: September 5, 2013Inventors: Bruce Cinkai Chow, Anthony Ng'oma, Michael S.

Patent number: 8155150Abstract: A method may be performed by a device in a network, the device including multiple security process units (SPUs). The method includes receiving a packet over the network, the packet including a media access control (MAC) address, and assigning one SPU as the MAC address owner. The method also includes sending information about the MAC address to other SPUs within the device, storing the MAC address in a MAC table within each SPU, and initiating a MAC age query to confirm the MAC address has timed out among all SPUs. The MAC age query is passed via a logical ring of the SPUs beginning with the MAC address owner. If the MAC address is aged out at each SPU, the MAC address is deleted from each MAC table. If the MAC entry is still active, a different SPU is assigned as the MAC address owner.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2009Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Sammy Chung, Dongyi Jiang, Tsai-Zong Lin, Jin Shang, Anthony Ng
