Abstract: A communication method is disclosed, implemented by a virtual source proxy, belonging to a computer system comprising a virtualization management system, a server, in which the source proxy and a source host are connected, another server, in which a virtual destination proxy and a destination host are connected. The method comprises running a request to configure, on a private network of the source host, a virtual interface, the request comprising a demand to associate a hardware address of the source host with an identifier associated with an identifier of the private network, sending the destination proxy an address resolution request transmitted by the source host, and sending the source host a response to said resolution request, the response comprising a hardware address of the destination host.

Abstract: A communication method is implemented by a route reflector belonging to a computer system including at least one server in which a virtual proxy and a host are connected. The method includes, for each host, storing an identifier of a private network of the source and destination hosts, receiving, from the proxy connected to that host, a notification including a hardware address and a hop IP address of the host, and verifying a match between the hop IP address and one or more other IP addresses. If the match verification is negative, the method includes storing the hop IP address. The method also includes receiving from the host, an announcement message comprising the routes accessible via the hop IP address, and storing the announced routes.

Abstract: A method for migrating a virtualised function from a first server to a second server depending on data of technical environment parameters. The interfaces specified in the virtualised architectures effectively make it possible to deploy and manage virtualised functions with a view to implementing a service but these interfaces do not contain information relating to the data relating to the technical environment upon which the servers, the virtualised functions and subsequently the services and applications that rely on the virtualised functions are dependent. The migration method proposes virtualised architectures that take into consideration the technical environment parameters in order to move virtualised functions whose functioning could be impacted by a malfunction of one or more technical environment parameter(s).

Abstract: A method for delegating a request to establish a new connection between a cellular terminal and an anchor gateway. The cellular terminal is attached, via a first link, to a local base station including an interface with a packet switching network. A first connection is established between the terminal and the anchor gateway. An IP address is assigned to the terminal by the anchor gateway, the first connection using the IP address and the first link. The local base station: receives the request, including an indication of necessary resources; decides not to establish the new connection using the local base station based on the indication; selects an adjacent base station based on quality measurements obtained from radio signal(s) transmitted by adjacent base station(s) to the terminal; and transmits a configuration message to the terminal requesting attachment of the terminal to the selected adjacent base station via a second link.

Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a system for processing local information. The system provides feedback of certain information from a central processor to local processors, thus leaving the local processors to decide on the relevance of the individual contribution of same before transmitting the local information thereof. This allows the central processor to obtain all the information it needs in order to perform a real-time merge, while greatly reducing the number of messages transmitted by the local processors.

Abstract: A method for distributing identifiers of sources from a multicast group. The sources are interconnected via an electronic communications network, and the multicast group is identified by a group address. A stream transmitted to the group address by a first source is received by a second source if the second source is already subscribed to the first source. One of the sources, known as the server, is subscribed to all of the other sources. The method includes the server performing the following acts: receiving from one of the other sources, known as an announcer source, a multicast announcement message including an announcer source identifier; and transmitting a management message to the group address, including the announcer source identifier.

Abstract: A method for requesting subscription to a data stream distributed in a multicast group. The group includes sources including a server, a first client and a second client, the sources being interconnected via an electronic communications network. The multicast group is identified by an address. A stream transmitted to the multicast group address by a first source is received by a second source if the second source is already subscribed to the first source. The first client is subscribed to the server. The method includes the first client performing acts of: receiving from the server at least one management message including at least one quality parameter relating to the stream transmitted to the address of the multicast group by the second client; making a decision to subscribe to the second client, according to a criterion dependent on the at least one quality parameter received; and, in the case of a positive decision, transmitting a subscription request message to the second client.

Abstract: Methods are provided for communication in a broadcast group and for collecting real time data in a broadcast group. The broadcast group includes a set of sources that send real time data, the set being made up of at least two sources and a server. A data-sending source of the group sends first time information relating to a first exchange of control data of the first source with the server by broadcasting to the members of the group. The first exchange is the one and only exchange of control data of the first source with the members of the broadcast group. The data-sending source receives second time information sent by the server and relating to the first exchange of control data between the first source and the server and to a second exchange of control data between the second source and the server. The source also receives second time data from other sources of the group and determines a transmission time between itself and another source of the group from the first and second received time information.

Abstract: A subscription to a service provided in a communication network is managed by a first terminal. The communication network includes a second terminal, and the service includes transmission of digital information. An access is capable of obtaining a maximum rising throughput value allocated to the first terminal and a descending throughput value allocated to the second terminal. On the access of the network, an access request is received for subscribing the second terminal to the service provided by the first terminal. Then, a decision about access to or refusal of subscription of the second terminal is made on the basis of the maximum rising throughput value allocated to the first terminal and on the basis of the descending throughput value allocated to the second terminal. And finally, a response indicating the decision is sent.
