Patent number: 9565128Abstract: A Generalized-Multi-Protocol Label Switching controlled network is described, as is a method for managing services in the network under conditions of disrupted control plane connectivity. Nodes of the network use a Resource Reservation Protocol with Traffic Engineering extension, RSVP-TE, to allocate and provision resources of the network. Each of the nodes is adapted to evaluate local RSVP Path or Resv state data after having sent at least one signaling message to a receiving neighboring node without receipt of an acknowledgement message from said receiving node within a configurable time to determine an IP address of a node being located after the non-responsive receiving node along a service path of a service in a downstream or upstream direction. Each node is adapted to send the signaling message to the determined IP address of the next node located behind the non-responsive receiving node along the service path.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2012Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: ADVA Optical Networking SEInventors: Igor Bryskin, Vishnu Beeram

Patent number: 9391923Abstract: The subject matter described herein includes using a path computation element communication protocol (PCEP) as a signaling protocol during dynamic service provisioning in networks. According to one aspect of the subject matter described herein, a network uses a hard state point-to-point protocol as a signaling protocol during dynamic service provisioning in a control plane of the network. In one implementation, the point-to-point protocol is a path computation element communication protocol (PCEP).Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: ADVA OPTICAL NETWORKING SEInventors: Igor Bryskin, Vishnu Pavan Beeram

Patent number: 9231877Abstract: A method for scaling traffic engineering, TE, routing in a network, having a plurality of network elements (nodes) connected in a given layer to each other via links TE domain segments of a TE domain of said network are collapsed into a virtual TE nodes (VNs). Each VN having an allocated DE domain unique identifier and a detailed connectivity matrix, DCM, to provide a hierarchically virtualized network topology of the network.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2013Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: ADVA Optical Networking SEInventor: Igor Bryskin

Patent number: 9026632Abstract: A network with a network wide extended policy framework comprising: path computation clients (PCCs), associated with at least one local policy enforcement point (PEP); path computation servers (PCSs), associated with at least one policy decision point (PDP). The PEPs and PDPs adapted to exchange attributes determined by at least one PDP. PDPs are adapted to identify network elements/network services requiring identical configuration parameters by evaluating parameters advertised in the network and update policy related to identified groups in case of configuration error. Updated policy is distributed by PDP in policy notification to PEPs associated with network elements/network services of identified group. The PEPs receiving policy notification comprising updated policy from PDP adapted to translate the updated policy into configuration settings of network elements/network services the identified group.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2012Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: ADVA Optical Networking SEInventors: Igor Bryskin, Vishnu Beeram, Wes Doonan
