Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods and systems of forming the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of an arbitrary segment of a resource without the FRAGMENT component, and generally comprising the steps of devising a logical framework for the resource and formulating an addressing scheme and reverse-addressing scheme for any arbitrary segment of the resource. Embodiments of the general methods and systems may include attaching information regarding the subject matter of the segment of the resource to the corresponding URI, and forming a composite URI for multiple component segments of one or more resources without the need to physically combine the component segments.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing interworking protocols are provided. According to one embodiment, a service management system (SMS) communicatively coupled with multiple service processing switches of a service provider provisions transport network interfaces of the service processing switches to provide a transport between subscriber interfaces of the service processing switches. The subscriber interfaces are configured to communicate data in accordance with a first protocol. The transport network interfaces configured to communicate data in accordance with a second protocol. The SMS causes a first-protocol-over-second-protocol (FPoSP) Virtual Private Network (VPN) to be created through which subscriber sites securely exchange data by establishing a virtual router (VR) within the service processing switches corresponding to each subscriber interface.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing interworking protocols are provided. According to one embodiment, a policy-based provisioning methodology is used by a service management system (SMS) to provision subscriber interfaces of service processing switches based upon parameters of a predefined policy. The subscriber interfaces communicate data in accordance with a first protocol. The parameters include a window size, a window timeout, a number of allowed bad events, an event window size and/or a keep-alive interval. Transport network interfaces, which communicate in accordance with a second protocol, are provisioned to provide a transport between the subscriber interfaces. A first-protocol-over-second-protocol (FPoSP) Virtual Private Network (VPN) is created through which the subscriber sites securely exchange data by establishing a virtual router (VR) corresponding to each subscriber interface.

Abstract: A computerized method for managing interworking protocols applies policies that aid in provisioning a first interface, having a first protocol, a transport network having a second protocol, a virtual circuit within the transport network; and a second interface, having the same protocol as the first.

Abstract: A computerized system for providing subscriber control of network parameters includes a service processing switch having a plurality of network resources; a service provider management server communicably coupled to the service processing switch and operable to configure the plurality of network resources. The configuration includes an allocation of a subset of the network resources to a subscribing enterprise. A subscriber management server is communicably coupled to the service provider management system and is operable to further configure the subset of the network resources. The system also includes a subscriber management client communicably coupled to the subscriber management server. The client is operable to issue configuration requests to the subscriber management server.
