  • Method and apparatus for network interconnection
    Patent number: 9967143
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for facilitating protection in a communication network or portion thereof. In a network such as an Ethernet SNC, an intermediate node is provided for connecting the East and West node to form a Working transport entity. The East and West node are also connected at different ports to each other to form a Protection transport entity. The intermediate node and the East node are configured to monitor and adapt to network conditions, effectively determining whether traffic between the West node and the East node uses the Working transport entity or the Protection transport entity.
    Type: Grant

  • Detecting legacy bridges in an audio video bridging network
    Patent number: 8977737
    Abstract: In a network having one or more Audio Video Bridging (AVB) devices, non-AVB bridges are detected by transmitting a maintenance message, such as a unicast linktrace message, from one AVB device such as a residential gateway to another AVB device such as a set-top box or IPTV. AVB devices in the path provide replies indicating whether the port on which the linktrace message was received is connected to a non-AVB bridge. The disclosure has utility in diagnostics problems with IPTV in a network.
