Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for effectuating a basis for implementing services capable of self-creation, self-evolution and/or substantive personalization without direct intervention from, e.g., a service provider. The resulting services are flexible and user-friendly, as a basic set of service primitives can be updated and extended at any point. Additionally, new and/or improved service functionality that is adapted to a user's behavior is done so in a non-intrusive manner. Additionally, implementation of service families, meta-service and readdressing as described above in accordance with various embodiments allows for the maximization of, e.g., a community training effect, when some interesting service finding of one community user can be easily shared and utilized by other users. Moreover, the systems and methods described herein for implementing/providing a basis for a flexible architecture minimizes resource consumption on the client side.

Abstract: Packet classification and routing in a data communication network with static routing procedure, wherein the routing is performed without using a routing table. First values for each common address bit of end service points adjacent to a switch as a response to a local subnet mask of the switch are defined. Then the packet flows from the current switch to the adjacent switches are forwarded in response to a value of differentiation bits. Unprocessed packets are forwarded to the main adjacent switch according to the main adjacent switch definition. Unforwarded are processed packets locally as exceptions.

Abstract: A network of nodes comprising a plurality of nodes, at least one node being connected to at least one other node, wherein a link between two nodes is classified as supporting reliable class traffic, as supporting unreliable class traffic or as supporting both reliable class traffic and unreliable class traffic.

Abstract: The present invention relates to service provision and management for mobile communities. There is disclosed a scalable service creation, provision and management scheme as well as a community management scheme for mobile communities such as for example peer-to-peer (P2P) communities.
