An implementation includes generating the application structure for the application by including, in the application structure, applicative components and connections between applicative components identified using a first entry point. In an implementation, the identification of the applicative components and the connections between applicative components includes applying a first set of patterns against a first component associated with the first entry point to identify a first applicative component of the applicative components and a first connection of the connections, the first connection including a second entry point. The applicative components and the connections between applicative components can be recursively identified.

Abstract: Systems and methods for skeleton-based discovery of an application in a computer network are provided. An implementation of the system includes a processor configured to generate a template for an application topology of the application based on a structure determined by an initial discovery, modify the template during a traversing of the template, and generate a display of the template indicating states of the application according to the impact rules. The application topology is multi-tiered and includes nodes associated with elements of the application and dependencies between the nodes. The states include at least one of an actual state or a scenario state.

Abstract: Methods for optimizing the media path between multimedia endpoints in a network are described. One embodiment allows avoiding having to relay the media traffic through a central device, such as a border controller's media controller element, and lets endpoints communicate directly under various conditions.

Abstract: A system and method for transferring Media over IP (MoIP) packets over an overlay network is provided. The system provides specially designed overlay network units located at key points in the IP network effectively creating an overlay network that is capable of interacting both on the overlay level as well as over the standard IP network.

Abstract: Techniques are described for aggregating multiple media packets to improve end-to-end bandwidth efficiency. The techniques include using an RTP aggregation protocol that is not sensitive to packet loss to aggregate multiple media packets under a single header. According to the RTP aggregation protocol, the single header for an aggregated media packet comprises a version field, a zero field, a sequence number field and a trunk ID field. The single header encapsulates the aggregated payload, which is an aggregation of Real-Time Protocol (RTP) segments. An RTP segment either has a compressed format or an uncompressed format. The uncompressed RTP segment includes the complete uncompressed RTP packet copied from the original User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packet. The compressed RTP segment includes the payload of the original RTP rather than the complete original RTP packet.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for communicating a COPS protocol policy to a non-COPS-enabled network device is provided. A COPS proxy is connected between a policy server and a non-COPS-enabled network device. The policy server is configured to communicate COPS protocol policies to the COPS proxy, which is, in turn, configured to translate the COPS protocol policy into a policy that is in accordance with a policy protocol that the non-COPS-enabled network device can receive and correctly interpret (“non-COPS protocol”). The translation of the policy utilizes a mapping database that delineates predetermined relationships between COPS protocol policies and the non-COPS protocol policies. More specifically, the mapping database can include relationships between COPS protocol policy information base variables, network device roles and characteristics, and non-COPS protocol parameters and associated values. Further, the COPS proxy can be configured to detect and reconcile policy conflicts for one or more network devices.
