Patent number: 9800457Abstract: Systems and methods relating to managing network addresses. In one implementation, a method is provided. The method includes sending a first request to use a particular network address, sending one or more second requests for respective hardware addresses corresponding to network addresses of one or more network address leases. When a hardware address corresponding to a particular network address lease is received in response to one of the one or more second requests and an acknowledgement of the first request to use the network address is not received determining whether the network address identified by the lease is the same as the network address in the first request, and when the network address is not the same, sending a third request to use the identified network address corresponding to the lease.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2013Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventor: Dieter Siegmund

Patent number: 8681791Abstract: A method is described that involves associating an outbound packet with a first network interface and constructing a search key from an identifier of the first network interface and the outbound packet's destination address. The method further entails submitting the search key to a routing function where the routing function identifies the outbound packet's next hop address. The method also involves transmitting the outbound packet to a node identified by the next hop address from the first network interface.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2011Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Cahya Masputra, Dieter Siegmund, Vincent Lubet

Patent number: 8514862Abstract: A method is described that entails assigning a source network address to an outbound packet, associating the outbound packet with a network service and identifying a first network interface associated with the network service. The method further entails inquiring into and confirming that the first network interface is associated with the source network address. The method further entails constructing a search key from an identifier of the first network interface and the outbound packet's destination address. The method further entails submitting the search key to a routing function, the routing function providing the outbound packet's next hop address. The method further entails transmitting the outbound packet to a node identified by the next hop address from the network interface.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2011Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Cahya Masputra, Dieter Siegmund, Vincent Lubet

Patent number: 8265078Abstract: A method is described that involves, in view of a first default entry for a first subnet that is reachable through a first network service, where the first default entry has a numeric destination value, and in view of a second default entry for a second subnet that is reachable through a second network service, wherein the second default entry has the numeric destination value, sorting the first and second default entries by deciding that the first network service is ranked higher than the second network service. The method further involves configuring the first default entry within a routing table to have the numeric destination and not an interface component within the first default entry's search term, and, configuring the second default entry within the routing table to have the numeric destination and the second network service's interface component within the second default entry's search term.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2008Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Cahya Masputra, Dieter Siegmund, Vincent Lubet

Patent number: 8166144Abstract: Methods, computer program products, systems and data structures for generating a signature for a network are described. A network signature may include, for example, network information associated with a network (e.g., IP address, MAC address, domain name, DNS name, routing information, phone number, etc.). A signature of a network that has previously been created can be stored to enable identification of the network in the future and to record parameters, settings, properties and attributes previously used for that network.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2007Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventor: Dieter Siegmund
