Abstract: Method for remote management of a home device (3), said method comprising: a connection step wherein the home device (3) connects to a remote walled garden home device management (WG_HDM) server (10); a pre-activation cycle wherein a pre-activation policy is run on the home device (3) from the WG_HDM server (10); a transfer step wherein the home device (3) is redirected by the WG_HDM server (10) to a remote public home device management (P_HDM) server (14); an activation cycle wherein an activation policy is run on the home device (3) from the P_HDM server (14).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a Label distribution method for distributing a label between a first Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network element and a second peering MPLS network element in an MPLS network. The first MPLS network element adds an unused label to the first data-packet DP1 of the at least one data-packet of the single flow before forwarding the at least one data-packet of the single flow, the unused label not yet associated with or used for identifying a context of said single flow. The second MPLS network element subsequently determines a context for the unknown label retrieved from the data-packets, using a predetermined algorithm. The second MPLS element then couples the unused label and the context determined using the predetermined algorithm.

Abstract: A method is described to configure a connection between at least one Home Internet Protocol Plug, HIPP, located at a subscriber side and a Home Internet Protocol Plug Controller, HIPP-C, located in an access network, both connected via a Digital Subscriber Line, DSL, a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer, DSLAM, and the access network with each other, wherein at least a Network Address Port Translation function, NAPT, and/or at least a Network Address Translation function, NAT, takes place between the HIPP and the HIPP-C, comprising the steps of: acquisition of a HIPP information when a HIPP is going online wherein the HIPP information comprises at least a layer two address of the HIPP, providing said HIPP information to the HIPP-C, configuration of at least the NAT and/or the NAPT functions between the HIPP and the HIPP-C by the HIPP-C considering said HIPP information, in order to receive a connection in which the HIPP-C is enabled to initialize a communication between the HIPP-C and the HIPP, wherei

Abstract: Methods for coupling devices (10,20) to management servers (30,40) via networks (50) offer more options by supplying (1) source information defining the device (10,20) to the management server (30,40), by letting (2) the management server (30,40) configure the network (50) through supplying non-default destination information defining the management server (30,40) and the source information to the network (50), by supplying (3) default destination information and the source information from the device (10,20) to the network (50), and by linking (4) the default destination information to the non-default destination information via the source information.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bandwidth broker (34, 36) for a domain (30, 32) of a telecommunication system comprising a plurality of domains, said bandwidth broker being associated with at least one border router (40, 50) of the corresponding domain in such a way that it can obtain information about the routing tables of this border router in order to be able to allocate resources to data routes inside the domain and outside the domain.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a Label distribution method for distributing a label between a first Multiprotocol Label Switching network element and a second peering Multiprotocol Label Switching network element in a Multiprotocol Label Switching network. Such a label identifies the context of datapackets of a single flow, these datapackets being forwarded from the first Multiprotocol Label Switching network elements towards the second peering Multiprotocol Label Switching network element. The first Multiprotocol Label Switching network element adds an unused label to the first datapacket DP1 of the at least one datapacket of the single flow before the step of forwarding the at least one datapacket of the single flow. The second Multiprotocol Label Switching network element, subsequently retrieves from at least the first datapacket of of said single flow a context from higher layer information included in at least a first Multiprotocol Label Switching data-packet.
