  • Patent number: 11552875
    Abstract: From among a U-plane and a C-plane, the U-plane is installed in a first user site which has a base station, and the C-plane is installed in a C-plane site (any site that is not a user site). A system sets a U-plane inter-site path which is an inter-site communication path that connects a first user site with a second user site via a wide area network, and a C-plane inter-site path which is an inter-site communication path that connects a C-plane site with the first user site via the wide area network. In addition, the system sets an in-site communication path which is a communication path within the first user site and which connects to an inter-site communication path. A U-plane inter-site path is an inter-site communication path via which data is transmitted or received by a U-plane. A C-plane inter-site path is an inter-site communication path via which a signal is transmitted or received by a C-plane.

  • Publication number: 20220173964
    Abstract: An information setting system includes a representative setting device and a remote setting device in a wireless communication facility. The remote setting device manages remote management information including information indicating a correspondence relationship among a device identifier, a device name, and a setting object. The representative setting device acquires a device identifier, allocates a network identifier to the device, stores the acquired device identifier and the allocated network identifier, and transmits the device identifier to the remote setting device. The remote setting device specifies a device name and a setting object from the remote management information based on the device identifier, and transmits the device name and the setting object to the representative setting device.

  • Publication number: 20150138979
    Abstract: A network is optimized quickly and flexibly according to a request from a user who conducts data communication, or a trend of the traffic. Plural packet transport devices have plural paths between the respective devices, and packets transmitted from plural packet transfer devices can be transferred on the path. A management control device calculates a path most suitable for transmitting the packet, identifies an identifier necessary for transferring the packet on the path, and sets the packet transfer devices so as to allocate the identifier to the packet from the user, and transport the packet to the packet transport devices.

  • Publication number: 20130073706
    Abstract: There are provided a virtual network management system and a network device that can identify the topology of a virtual network, estimate a virtual network to which various computing devices belong and the locations of the computing devices, and present the virtual network and the locations to a network administrator. In a network management device, the configurations of packet transmission devices and a MAC learning table are managed. A virtual network to which given virtual computing units are connected is identified from information about a virtual packet transmission device identifier, a VLAN identifier, a MAC address, and a packet transmission port number acquired from the MAC learning table. The locations of the virtual computing units in the virtual network are estimated, and the topology is drawn on the screen of a display.

  • Patent number: 8149705
    Abstract: To analyze traffic at an application level, a stream according to TCP or SCTP is required to be reconstructed and to be analyzed. When a packet is transferred to analyzing equipment using a port mirroring function with which a router and a switch are provided, transferred traffic volume increases and exceeds the throughput of the analyzing equipment. As only a part of packets configuring a stream is transferred to the analyzing equipment in transfer to the analyzing equipment using a packet sampling function, analysis at the application level is impossible. To solve the problem, when a packet communication unit recognizes a stream start packet, samples a stream initiated by the packet on a condition and at a rate respectively determined beforehand and generates a condition for copying the packet based upon information of both ends of the stream included in the packet, packets sampled in units of stream can be transferred to the analyzing equipment.

  • Patent number: 7567505
    Abstract: In a packet transmission router used in a VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) network having a VR (Virtual Router) function, when virtual routers VR are realized by the VRRP, the routing control information that each VR manages is prevented from being mixed with that of other VR. When an active packet transmission router transmits a VRRP packet to a standby packet transmission router, an identifier indicating which virtual router belongs to the VRRP packet is added to the VRRP packet before the transmission of the VRRP packet.

  • Patent number: 7289431
    Abstract: A packet transmission method is provided when there occurs a double fault in working paths of a 1:N configuration and when packets thereon are to be bypassed from the working paths to a recovery path, the packet can be transferred to the recovery path while retaining packet priority classes or VPNs on the recovery path. If faults occur in both a first line on which is set a first label-switched path and a second line on which is set a second label-switched path, packets which should flow respectively through the first and second label-switched paths are bypassed to the recovery path. At this time, different labels are affixed to the packets such that the thus-labeled packets are transferred to the recovery path.

  • Publication number: 20070022468
    Abstract: Traffic flowing through packet transmission equipment comes in countless variations ranging from traffic from harmless general users, to PC virus-infected users, and users with harmful intent. Transferring all of this traffic together through a module for monitoring causes a great loss in throughput and is an extremely inefficient way to handle general user traffic. After checking the module processing results, the system administrator can resolve this situation by changing each user's transfer module but making this setting manually is unwieldy and lacks flexibility. A security level can be set on table in the platform module linking each user to the destination application module. By dynamically changing this security level according to processing results in each module, each user's destination application module can be changed smoothly and flexibly.
