Abstract: A segment routing (SR) network has a plurality of interconnected SR gateways, where each of a plurality of local networks is connectable to an SR gateway at an edge router of the local network. An SR network control plane maintains a locator database that maps (i) a global IP (GIP) address for user equipment (UE) to (ii) an IP address of a downstream node associated with the UE along a path from the SR network to the UE. An SR gateway (i) receives a message for the UE and (ii) addresses the message to the IP address of the downstream node. The SR network control plane updates the locator database to map (i) the GIP address for the UE to (ii) a different IP address of a downstream node upon the SR network control plane determining that the association of the UE has changed to the different IP address.

Abstract: Leaf nodes of a tree structure, also having a root node and intermediate nodes, communicate with endpoints via access networks and store mappings from permanent virtual IP (VIP) addresses for the endpoints to physical IP (PIP) addresses for the endpoints on the access networks. The root node and intermediate nodes store pointers for the endpoints' leaf nodes and associated access networks. When a connection setup request (CSR) for a destination endpoint is received from a corresponding node, the receiving leaf node passes the CSR up through the tree structure to a lowest common ancestor (LCA) node for the receiving leaf node and one or more destination leaf nodes associated with the destination endpoint. The LCA node uses its pointers to pass the CSR down towards the one or more destination leaf nodes, which use the corresponding VIP-to-PIP mappings to forward the CSR to the destination endpoint.

A resin material (630) in a liquid is spread between a supporting plate (610) and a mold (620) of a manufacturing apparatus (600), pressed, and light-cured, thus producing the light-cured resin diffusing component (100) or the DOE. The diffusing component (100) or the DOE is integrally formed, the phenomenon of delamination is prevented from occurring, and the need for high-temperature injection molding and cooled forming is obviated.

A processor evaluates a damage status of the vehicle. A processor outputs a damage report based on the damage status of the vehicle.

Abstract: Packet-processing circuitry including one or more flow caches whose contents are managed using a cache-entry replacement policy that is implemented based on one or more updatable counters maintained for each of the cache entries. In an example embodiment, the implemented policy enables the flow cache to effectively catch and keep elephant flows by giving to the caught elephant flows appropriate preference in terms of the cache dwell time, which can beneficially improve the overall cache-hit ratio and/or packet-processing throughput. Some embodiments can be used to implement an Open Virtual Switch (OVS). Some embodiments are advantageously capable of implementing the cache-entry replacement policy with very limited additional memory allocation.

Abstract: A plurality of agents is instantiated on a corresponding plurality of servers that are running concurrent instances of a control plane application. A first agent is selected from the plurality of agents to mediate communication between a client and the concurrent instances of the control plane application running on the plurality of servers. The first agent replicates uplink packets received from the client for transmission to the plurality of agents. A first connection is used to convey the uplink packets. The first agent transmits a single copy of redundant downlink packets received from the plurality of agents to the client via the first connection. In some cases, the first connection is a stateful transmission control protocol (TCP) connection and the first agent replicates the uplink packets received in a single TCP stream. The first agent merges the redundant downlink packets into the single TCP stream.

The packet splicer bypasses transmission of a second request for retransmission of the uplink packet received from a second server of the plurality of servers. In some cases, the packet splicer receives, from the client, a request for retransmission of a downlink packet that was redundantly transmitted by the plurality of servers. The packet splicer replicates the request for retransmission of the downlink packet to the plurality of servers.
