Patent number: 10681091Abstract: A stateful application gateway redundancy system and method. Configuration information defines a service processing unit on a service gateway and associates a first redundancy set and a second redundancy set with the service processing unit, wherein the first and the second redundancy sets include a master redundancy state, a standby redundancy state and one or more redundancy policies, including at least one redundancy policy defining actions to be taken on occurrence of a redundancy event associated with the respective redundancy set. In response to detecting a critical event for the first redundancy set, the service gateway transitions the first redundancy set from the standby redundancy state to the master redundancy state, adds a first signal-route associated with the first redundancy set to a Routing Information Base (RIB) and advertises the first signal-route to routing protocol peer network devices.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2018Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Harsha Srinath, Gregory M.

Patent number: 8706897Abstract: Network devices, such as a router and a downstream multicast distribution device, may use multiple control channels when setting up a multicast stream for a multicast request. For example, first messages may be transmitted using a first protocol to an upstream device over a first channel, the first messages indicating when a first multicast media stream is being requested by at least one of a number of client devices. Second messages may be transmitted using a second protocol over a second channel, the second messages being transmitted on a per-client basis and each identifying a one of the client devices as requesting the first multicast media stream. By using two control channels to convey the multicast channel requests, the router may obtain visibility into the action of the subscriber and can consequently perform per-subscriber operations such as access-control, bandwidth based admission control, statistics, and QoS adjustment for multicast IPTV streams received by the subscriber.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2012Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Sanjay Wadhwa, Jerome P.

Patent number: 8559444Abstract: A network layer device controls provision of data link layer functionality by a data link layer device to provide a requested multimedia service to a subscriber. For example, the network layer device may control the performance of multicast elaboration by the data link layer device, or the queuing and forwarding of packets by the data link layer device to facilitate transmission of packets according to a Quality of Service class. The network layer device may send control messages to the data link layer device to dynamically configure a control object stored by the data link layer device, such as multicast filter information or a Quality of Service profile. The network layer device may be a service edge router, and the data link layer device may be a customer premises equipment device, e.g., a modem or wireless access point, or a switch, e.g., a digital subscriber line access multiplier.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2010Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Mathias Kokot, Hermann Rodler, Kurt Melden, Jerome Moisand, Thomas Gemmer

Patent number: 8542592Abstract: Techniques for classifying and managing network flows associated with a network service using application classification information and active signaling relay are described. A network device, for example, includes a signaling interceptor and a network flow interface. The signaling interceptor monitors a communication between a customer device and an application server, and identifies a network flow associated with a network service provided to the customer device by the application server. The network flow interface applies a policy to the identified network flow. An active signaling relay module communicates with the application server using data injected within the signaling communications, and utilizes the injected data to further control the network flows and the delivery of the network service.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2010Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Jerome Pascal Moisand, Steven Onishi, Mathias Kokot, Denis Henk DeRuijter

Patent number: 8537681Abstract: A device may determine, based on layer 2 protocol information of incoming traffic, whether to forward the traffic as layer 2 traffic or terminate the traffic as layer 3 traffic. The device may receive the incoming traffic as packets of a virtual local area network (VLAN) and may analyze a protocol type included in layer 2 header information of the packets to classify, based on the protocol type, the packets as layer 2 output traffic or layer 3 output traffic. The device may transmit, as layer 2 traffic of the VLAN, those of the packets that are classified as layer 2 output traffic, and may terminate, to layer 3 traffic, those of the packets that are classified as layer 3 output traffic.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2011Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Sudhir Krishnan, Mathias Kokot, John Gibbons

Patent number: 8054855Abstract: Techniques are described for dynamically configuring an interface in a network service provider. The techniques allow dynamic configuration of, for example, a dual stacked interface that includes both Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) and Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) on the same layer 2 link. In this way, a customer network having an existing IPv4 connection to a network service provider will be able to run both IPv4 and IPv6 over the same interface. A network device within the network service provider may receive a control packet from a subscriber device. The packet may be received on an ATM hybrid permanent virtual circuit (PVC) that supports multiple interface columns. The network device is capable of auto-sensing multiple packet protocols and may dynamically create multiple interface columns over the same ATM interface based on the encapsulation type of the received packets.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2009Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Prasad Deshpande, Eric L.

Patent number: 7983258Abstract: Techniques are described for dynamically building an Ethernet virtual local area network (VLAN) interface in a network device. The techniques allow dynamic building of a second VLAN interface over a first VLAN interface statically built over an Ethernet port configured to support dynamic VLANs in a network device. A network device may receive a plurality of Ethernet packets from subscriber devices and dynamically build a second VLAN interface over the first VLAN interface for each of the subscribers. Once the second VLAN interface is built, the network device dynamically builds interface columns over the second VLAN interface for each protocol associated with the Ethernet packets. The network device may then authenticate a user associated with the plurality of Ethernet packets. Once the user has logged out of the network device, the network device may tear down the interface columns while persistently maintaining the corresponding second VLAN interface.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2009Date of Patent: July 19, 2011Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Karen Ruben, Mathias Kokot, Jerome P. Moisand, Brian M. Sullivan

Patent number: 7944918Abstract: Techniques are described that allow a network device, such as a router, to dynamically build VLAN interfaces based on subscriber information strings included within packets. In particular, the network device comprises an interface controller and a forwarding controller, where the forwarding controller receives the packet over an Ethernet port and forwards the received packet to the interface controller. The packet includes both Ethernet tagging information and a subscriber information string. The interface controller comprises an Ethernet module that dynamically builds a primary virtual local area network (VLAN) sub-interface (PVS) based on the Ethernet tagging information. The Ethernet module also dynamically builds a subscriber VLAN sub-interface (SVS) based on the subscriber information string. The SVS allows the network device to distinguish between subscribers residing on the same VLAN, and, therefore, to provide subscriber specific services.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2009Date of Patent: May 17, 2011Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Linda M. Cabeca, Mathias Kokot, Jerome P. Moisand, Vitali Vinokour, Thomas Lemaire, Karen Ruben
