Abstract: A method and system for filtering data packets in a multiple-call environment are described. In one embodiment, each data packet received from a packet source is associated with an identifier of an IP telephone call that corresponds to this data packet. The IP telephone call is identified using information contained in the data packet. In one embodiment, all data packets related to a specific IP telephone call can be traced using the identifier of the specific IP telephone call.

Abstract: Apparatus and systems, as well as methods and articles, may operate to store a data field in a data file, wherein the data field is associated with one or more data packets received at a node on a first network, and to transfer the data file between the node on the first network and a node on a second network. The data file may be transferred across a wired communications link utilizing a file transfer protocol not associated with a network protocol stack.

Abstract: A method and system for configuring a wireless network, e.g., an ad hoc wireless network having a plurality of nodes and at least one server. In the wireless network, among other things, mesh network viability is maintained as packet loss information is recorded at a plurality of individual nodes in the wireless network during packet transmission from each of the plurality of nodes. The packet loss information may be stored at the at least one server for access at a period of time other than the moment when the packet is received at the at least one server from one of the plurality of nodes.
