  • Systems and methods for implementing multiple ISIS routing instances on a network element
    Patent number: 9525615
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method may include instantiating a primary intermediate system to intermediate system (ISIS) instance on a network element. The method may further include instantiating a secondary ISIS instance on the network element. The method may also include configuring the primary ISIS instance and the secondary ISIS instance to appear as a single ISIS instance to other network elements remote to the network element.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and system for dynamic assignment of network addresses in a communications network
    Patent number: 8295204
    Abstract: According to a particular embodiment, a method for automatically assigning dynamic IP addresses without user interaction includes maintaining at least one pool of unused IP addresses. An advertisement message is transmitted from a first network element to at least one additional network element in a transport ring. The advertisement message identifies the first network element as providing IP address assignment services. The IP address request message from a second network element in the transport ring is received at the first network element. In response to the IP address request message, an IP address is dynamically assigned from the at least one pool of unused IP addresses. The dynamically assigned IP address is transmitted from the first network element to the second network element.

  • Methods and systems for managing network elements
    Patent number: 8046445
    Abstract: A system for managing networks includes a gateway capable of receiving a first TARP request from a requesting node and generating a second TARP request based on the first TARP request. The second TARP request includes an NSAP address of the gateway. The gateway is further capable of transmitting the second TARP request to a destination node. The gateway is also capable of receiving a first TARP response from the destination node and generating a second TARP response based on the first TARP response. The second TARP response includes the NSAP address of the gateway. The gateway is further capable of transmitting the second TARP response to the requesting node.
