Abstract: A mobile router and a correspondent router, each configured for routing services for nodes within their routing prefixes associated with their respective routing tables, establish a secure, bidirectional tunnel based on a messaging protocol between each other and a route server resource. A reactive (i.e., on-demand) protocol is used that enables the requesting device (e.g, the mobile router, correspondent router), to obtain routing information in a secure manner from the route server. The mobile router sends a query via its home agent to the route server resource to identify the correspondent router serving the correspondent node. The mobile router sends a binding update request, specifying a home address and care-of address for the mobile router, to the correspondent router for establishment of a bidirectional tunnel. The correspondent router establishes the bidirectional tunnel, and updates its routing tables based on information from the route server resource.

Abstract: A router is configured for sharing routing rules with other routers, the routing rules defining aggregated routes according to a prescribed topology. Each routing rule, used by the router for routing a packet having a corresponding matching destination address prefix, specifies a corresponding address prefix pattern rule for extracting an identified pattern from a portion of the destination address, and a gateway address pattern rule for generating a gateway address, for a gateway providing reachability to the destination address, based on applying the identified pattern to a specified portion of the gateway address. The router generates a routing update message that describes the address prefix pattern rule and the gateway address pattern rule, and outputs the routing update message to a second router according to a prescribed distance vector routing protocol (e.g., Multiprotocol Extension for Border Gateway Protocol).

Abstract: A mobile router and a correspondent router, each configured for routing services for nodes within their routing prefixes associated with their respective routing tables, establish a secure, bidirectional tunnel based on a messaging protocol between each other and a route server resource having a prescribed security relationship with the mobile router and correspondent router. The mobile router sends a query via its home agent to the route server resource to identify the correspondent router serving the correspondent node. The mobile router sends a binding update request, specifying a home address and care-of address for the mobile router, to the correspondent router for establishment of a bidirectional tunnel. The correspondent router, upon validating the home address is reachable via the care-of address, establishes the bidirectional tunnel, and updates its routing tables to specify that prescribed address prefixes are reachable via the mobile router home address.

Abstract: A digital camera includes a sensor (205) for sensing an image and producing a first signal. A Bayer pattern producer (210) is coupled to the sensor and structured to produce a Bayer pattern from the first signal. The Bayer pattern is then split (212) into separate color channels. A color interpolator (214) is structured to perform a modification on only one of the color channels produced by the splitter (212). A compressor (220) then compresses the interpolated and non-interpolated color channels into a compressed image. An output interface (226) facilitates remote transmission of the compressed image over a communication channel. This communication may be made over a network to a server that operates in conjunction with the digital camera to perform certain functions, like image processing, manipulation, storage and communication, as directed by a user of the digital camera.
