Patent number: 8913506Abstract: A method of monitoring quality of a telephone call transmitted over a network includes obtaining a metric associated with the telephone call, where the metric is based on data packets that are transmitted during the telephone call, and determining whether the metric exceeds a threshold. Plural metrics may be obtained and the method may determine whether the plural metrics exceed corresponding thresholds.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2013Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Thinking Phone Networks, Inc.Inventors: Julian Wray West, Darryl Dietz

Patent number: 8850024Abstract: A method includes sending a request for network services to plural devices, where the request identifies the network services using a self-describing data structure, and receiving a response to the request from at least one device, where the response identifies which of the network services are supported by the at least one device.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2012Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: Communications Acquisitions, LLCInventors: Julian Wray West, Eric J. Martin, Rajesh K. Mishra

Patent number: 8693465Abstract: A method performed by a device adapted for communication over a network includes establishing a presence on the network, obtaining default configuration information for the device via the network, the default configuration information identifying a service on the network, receiving a request for validation information from the service, providing the validation information to the service, the service generating device-specific information in response to the validation information, and obtaining the device-specific information.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2012Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: Communications Acquisitions, LLCInventors: Julian Wray West, Eric J. Martin, Rajesh K. Mishra

Publication number: 20030217190Abstract: The systems and methods described herein include, among other things, state machine design tools that generate computer executable state machines from schematic representations, typically flow charts, of a process. In one particular embodiment the proscesses being represented are processes for implementing a telephony or telecommunication service. For example, the methods described herein include state machine design tools that allow a user to generate state machines by creating and processing a flow chart representation of a telephony service, such as a call waiting service.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2003Publication date: November 20, 2003Inventors: Geoffrey Devine, Patrick Quigley, Rajaesh Mishra, Julian Wray West, Mark Galvin

Publication number: 20030095663Abstract: A system and method for enhancing Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) security. The system and method include the generation of a pair of WEP-based encryption keys by a network access point. The key pair is transmitted to one or more clients associated with the access point after the client has been authenticated for access to the network. Each key is preferably randomly generated and the pair is further changed periodically. The timing of the changing of the keys is dependent upon the existing crypto analysis attack capabilities. Individual clients may have unique key pairs or a plurality of clients associated with an access point may share the key pair.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2002Publication date: May 22, 2003Inventors: David B. Nelson, Roger P. Durand, Julian Wray West

Patent number: 6538996Abstract: A user of a remote typically has a choice of multiple access methods and telephone numbers using which the user can connect his remote computer to a local computer or a local area network. The remote user often user faces several problems. These problems include first knowing what numbers and access methods the user has a choice of, and knowing the cost of using those numbers and access methods. This first problem is exasperated by a large number of available access points, changes of access telephone numbers, changes in telephone and network access rates, and changes in quality of service provided by various service providers. Distributing, storing, and searching a comprehensive directory of access numbers and associated costs would, in general, be prohibitive on remote computers with limited storage and computation capacity, such as portable computers typically often used by mobile workers.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2000Date of Patent: March 25, 2003Assignee: Enterasys Networks, Inc.Inventors: Julian Wray West, Bradford H. Kemp, Carol M. Howard, Paul R. Jones, Jr., Jeffrey M. Mullen, Ronald L. Currier, Jr.
