Rateb Abu-Hamdeh has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8155028
    Abstract: The invention includes a method and apparatus for configuring logical connectivity for a network comprising a plurality of nodes. A method includes determining a physical topology of the network, determining a set of LSP paths based on the physical topology of the network, and determining a set of LSPs using the set of LSP paths, where the set of LSPs includes a plurality of LSPs adapted for providing full logical connectivity between the nodes of the network. The physical topology is determined using information indicative of physical connectivity between nodes of the network. The set of LSP paths includes, for each pair of nodes in the network, at least two logical paths between the nodes of the node pair. The set of LSPs includes a plurality of LSPs adapted for providing full logical connectivity between the nodes of the network.

  • Publication number: 20030115309
    Abstract: A new architecture for deploying network management and service provisioning solutions is provided. The new architecture includes the provision of a framework implementing a software development methodology for coding complex software applications relating to network management and service provisioning. The software development methodology results in software application code that is easy to: understand, debug, extend, test, and deploy while still being efficient when used in real time. The methodology includes the coding, compiling and linking of a single managed object class. The managed object class is used to model and represent different data network entities in accordance with attributes held therein. The methodology further makes use of a network management and service provisioning specific grammar used by a parser associated with the framework to read a body of attribute files associated with the data network entities.
