Patent number: 10481665Abstract: According to one example embodiment, a modem or other network device include an energy module configured to enter a low-power, low-bandwidth state when not in active use by a user. The low-power state may be maintained under certain conditions where network activity is not present, and or when only non-bandwidth-critical traffic is present. The network device may include a user interface for configuring firewall rules, and the user may be able to concurrently designate particular types of traffic as important or unimportant. The energy module may also be integrated with a firewall, and power saving rules may be inferred from firewall rules.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2018Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventor: Michael Overcash

Patent number: 10098085Abstract: A location of a client device may be detected. From a first location, a first angle from a first reference line to the client device may be determined using beamforming. Next, from a second location, a second angle from a second reference line to the client device may be determined using beamforming. The first reference line and the second reference line may be parallel. Then, an intersection point of a first directional line and a second directional line may be determined. The first directional line may be defined by the first location and the first angle. The second directional line may be defined by the second location and the second angle. A client device location corresponding to the intersection point may then be obtained.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2017Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventor: Michael Overcash

Patent number: 9294389Abstract: An interface may be selected. First, it may be determined that an application is intended to use a first one of a plurality of network interfaces. Next, a first one of a plurality of routing tables may be selected corresponding to the determined first one of the plurality of network interfaces. Then the selected first one of the plurality of routing tables may be used to communicate with a first device on a first network over the determined first one of the plurality of network interfaces.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2011Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventor: Michael Overcash

Patent number: 9252902Abstract: An accurate non-Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (non-DOCSIS) clock signal is generated at the downstream output of a DOCSIS network. In one example method, a downstream DOCSIS Timing Protocol (DTP) client in the DOCSIS network is frequency synchronized to an upstream DTP server in the DOCSIS network. DOCSIS timing information, along with one or more timing correction factors received at the DTP client, is used to time synchronize the DTP client to the DTP server. Based on the time and frequency synchronization between the DTP server and the DTP client, the clock signal is generated at the output of the DTP client in accordance with the non-DOCSIS timing protocol.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2015Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: John T. Chapman, Rakesh Chopra, Laurent Montini, Michael Overcash

Patent number: 9141169Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving a first data at a first network element; determining that the first data does not match an entry in an access control list; and sending a first message to a second network element that causes the second network element to enter into a low-power state. In yet another example embodiment, the method can include receiving a second data; determining that the second data matches an entry in the access control list; buffering the second data; sending a second message to the second network element, where the second message causes the second network element to exit the low-power state; and sending the buffered second data to the second network element.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2012Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Michael Overcash, Sangeeta Ramakrishnan, Alon Bernstein

Patent number: 7869369Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed according to the implementations of the present disclosure for determining whether a cable modem has been placed in an unauthorized location. One system, among others, comprises a first cable modem and a second cable modem. The first cable modem is configured to transfer data between a first subscriber device and a headend facility and is intended to be used in a first residence. The second cable modem is configured to transfer data between a second subscriber device and the headend facility and is also intended to be used in the first residence. The first cable modem sends first information, corresponding to at least one parameter of the first cable modem, to the second cable modem. The second cable modem compares the first information with second information corresponding to at least one parameter associated with the second cable modem.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2007Date of Patent: January 11, 2011Inventor: Michael Overcash
