  • Publication number: 20250097072
    Abstract: A device for communicating within a network includes at least one processor and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the device to receive, from a network gateway, a connectivity policy for the device and facilitate communication between the device and the network gateway according to the connectivity policy. The device includes a kernel with at least a first kernel tunnel and a second kernel tunnel. The connectivity policy specifies at least one of the first kernel tunnel or the second kernel tunnel for uplink transmission of packets from the device. The device includes a kernel virtual switch configured to switch between the first kernel tunnel and the second kernel tunnel to facilitate the communication between the device and the network gateway based on the connectivity policy.

  • Publication number: 20240195738
    Abstract: A segment routing (SR) network has a plurality of interconnected SR gateways, where each of a plurality of local networks is connectable to an SR gateway at an edge router of the local network. An SR network control plane maintains a locator database that maps (i) a global IP (GIP) address for user equipment (UE) to (ii) an IP address of a downstream node associated with the UE along a path from the SR network to the UE. An SR gateway (i) receives a message for the UE and (ii) addresses the message to the IP address of the downstream node. The SR network control plane updates the locator database to map (i) the GIP address for the UE to (ii) a different IP address of a downstream node upon the SR network control plane determining that the association of the UE has changed to the different IP address.

  • Patent number: 11909716
    Abstract: Leaf nodes of a tree structure, also having a root node and intermediate nodes, communicate with endpoints via access networks and store mappings from permanent virtual IP (VIP) addresses for the endpoints to physical IP (PIP) addresses for the endpoints on the access networks. The root node and intermediate nodes store pointers for the endpoints' leaf nodes and associated access networks. When a connection setup request (CSR) for a destination endpoint is received from a corresponding node, the receiving leaf node passes the CSR up through the tree structure to a lowest common ancestor (LCA) node for the receiving leaf node and one or more destination leaf nodes associated with the destination endpoint. The LCA node uses its pointers to pass the CSR down towards the one or more destination leaf nodes, which use the corresponding VIP-to-PIP mappings to forward the CSR to the destination endpoint.

  • Publication number: 20050185771
    Abstract: A method of cooperatively providing voice service(s), carried over a circuit-switched (“CS”) type network, with multimedia service(s), carried over a packet-switched (“PS”) type network to a wireless unit. The method of involves the communication between a calling-from-party and a calling-to-party. The method includes the step of receiving an initiation signal from the calling-from-party for identifying the calling-to-party. In response to verifying the identity of the calling-to-party as a service subscriber in a database, the method selects multimedia content to be transmitted to the calling-from-party. A voice link may then be established to the calling-to-party in response to the initiation signal from the calling-from-party. Thereafter, the initiation signal may be bridged with the established voice link to establish a voice link between the calling-from-party and the calling-to-party.
