Abstract: A first device may pre-allocate network resources for multiple communications between a first device and a second device. The second device may be associated with one or more third devices. The network resources may be pre-allocated prior to the second device receiving a request for a communication, of the multiple communications, for transmission from a third device of the one or more third devices. The first device may receive an indication to allocate the network resources for the communication. The first device may allocate a portion of the network resources for the communication. The first device may cause the communication to be transmitted between the first device and the second device and between the second device and the third device. The first device may deallocate the portion of the network resources after causing the communication to be transmitted.

Abstract: A system may determine that a first device is available to transfer traffic via a network and that a second device is available to transfer the traffic via the network. A master mode may be enabled on the first device. The master mode, when enabled on the first device while both the first device and the second device are available to transfer the traffic, may cause the first device to advertise dynamic routing information associated with transferring the traffic. A slave mode may be enabled on the second device. The slave mode, when enabled on the second device, may cause the second device to suppress advertisement of virtual router redundancy protocol routing information associated with transferring the traffic. The system may provide, via the first device and the second device, the traffic via a dynamic network path across the network, and in accordance with the dynamic routing information.

Abstract: A device stores a traffic management profile for satellite network traffic that provides default percentages for classes of traffic that can pass when contention for limited bandwidth exists. The device receives packets having class markings and designated for transmission over a Demand-Assigned Time Division Multiple Access (DA-TDMA) network and identifies each of the received packets as one of a transmission control protocol (TCP) packet or a non-TCP packet. The device assigns the received packets to different queues based on the class markings and the identifying as a TCP packet or non-TCP packet, and determines available transmission bandwidth for a particular time slot of the DA-TDMA network associated with the device. The device also schedules packets from the different queues based on the default percentages in the traffic management profile and the transmission bandwidth for the particular time slot.

Abstract: A device receives bandwidth information associated with a very small aperture terminal (VSAT) network. The device calculates burstable and allocated bandwidths for VSAT carriers of the VSAT network to ensure that the VSAT carriers have bandwidth available for traffic that exceeds a minimum target burstable bandwidth. The device also implements the burstable and allocated bandwidths in the VSAT network.

Abstract: Routes stored by routers in a network that uses the border gateway protocol may be limited to a default route. A device may set, a first route in a routing table, advertised using BGP by a first predetermined network, to be a default route for the device. The device may block forwarding of second routes, advertised using BGP, when the second routes do not correspond to the default route.
