Patent number: 8619578Abstract: Presently described is a system and method for switching multimedia data communications, including but not limited to Voice over IP (VoIP) telephony, cable TV, digital audio and video. The system utilizes a single, integrated device to provide all PacketCable-compliant functionality, including enhanced user privacy, compliance with CALEA, E911 and other mandated services not available in conventional distributed PacketCable systems. High speed and efficient, low cost operation are provided by means of an optimized data unit encapsulation scheme for internal switching and routing. A proprietary fiber optic backplane and removable optical connectors are used to enable lightspeed internal communications hot-swapping of components. Furthermore, the present system is extensible to all forms of digital data switching and is secure, resistant to Denial of Service attacks, and fault-resilient.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2012Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Genband US, LLCInventors: Geoffrey Devine, Patrick Quigley, Jeffrey J. Fitzgerald, Daniel W. English, John Doucette, Paul Miller, Jr.
