  • Cloud Based Elastic Load Allocation for Multi-media Conferencing
    Publication number: 20140280595
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a technique for providing cloud based scaleable videoconferencing infrastructure in a variety of ways. A combination of hardware based conferencing and software emulation of hardware conferencing equipment is disclosed. The disclosed systems and methods include load balancing algorithms and a software control architecture to allow for flexible and elastic scaling of each component individually or as a group. The disclosed systems and methods are also agnostic to the underlying hardware infrastructure utilized for any given conference.

  • Distributed imposition of multi-level label stack using local label
    Patent number: 7319699
    Abstract: Improved scalability and performance for label switched routers are provided. Large numbers of interfaces may be readily accommodated. In one implementation, label imposition is divided between ingress and egress linecards so that the interface supporting a given service can be the one to impose any needed corresponding label.
