Publication number: 20080275941Abstract: Described are computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for service integration on a network. Telecommunication services (e.g., calendar, television, phone, location) on a network are integrated using service codelets designed to interface with the services. A default codelet associated with the user (e.g., via a service plan) dynamically calls the service codelets to request information from the associated services (e.g., calendar data) and/or perform tasks with the associated services (e.g., update calendar). The service codelets can dynamically call other service codelets based on the results of their requests for information. The information from the services is integrated and returned to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2007Publication date: November 6, 2008Applicant: Sonus Networks, Inc.Inventors: Nagesh S.

Publication number: 20070253415Abstract: A new type of data transport service which uses a frame relay layer 2 data link connection identifier (DLCI) to select among various service types, feature sets, and/or closed user groups (CUGs). A layer 3 address may be extracted from a layer 2 frame, and the layer 3 address information may be used to route a data packet over a packet-switched network according to the service classes, feature sets, and/or CUGs selected. At the destination, the layer 3 data packet may again be enclosed in a layer 2 frame with a DLCI indicating the service classes, features sets, and/or CUGs. Because the use of conventional permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) is not required in aspects of the invention, new methods of measuring and managing network traffic are presented.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2007Publication date: November 1, 2007Inventors: Christopher Chase, Stephen Holmgren, John Medamana, Vikram Saksena

Publication number: 20060077957Abstract: Described are methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for common telephony services to multiple devices associated with multiple networks. A centralized packet-based network is provided that is capable of providing the common telephony services associated with a subscriber to a first telephony device of the subscriber associated with a first network and to a second telephony device of the subscriber associated with a second network. Each call placed to or from a subscriber's device is routed to the centralized, packet-based network. Each device can be assigned an identical unique identifier. The packet-based service provider network can perform a handoff of the call while the call is in process from the first device associated with the first network to the second device associated with the second network.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2004Publication date: April 13, 2006Inventors: Umamaheswar Reddy, Vikram Saksena, Michael Hluchyj

Patent number: 6731627Abstract: A loop carrier system includes a home local area network having plural telephone modules and a hub coupled to in-home telephone wiring. The telephone modules and the hub communicate voice signals over the in-home wiring in a dedicated frequency band above baseband POTS. The hub converts between voice signals and voice packets and is connected to a network access device for transferring the voice packets from the home local area network to a telecommunications network which routes the voice packets to a gateway. The gateway converts between the voice packets and a circuit format compatible with a local digital voice switch.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 1999Date of Patent: May 4, 2004Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Dev V.

Publication number: 20030131075Abstract: A services definition language for seamlessly creating and maintaining services over a network service reduces deployment time, cost, and maintenance, and increases reliability. An executable element generator is operable to process module scripts, such as an XML (Extensible Markup Language) script, recognized across the execution environment. Each module script describes a network element, service, or subscription. A plurality of available services are defined, in which each of the available services corresponds to one or more of the module scripts. A script processor interprets the module script and provides it to executable element generators conversant in the script language, which process the module scripts via a GUI to produce executable objects. A service provisioning engine is operable to execute the executable objects for providing the corresponding service via the network.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2002Publication date: July 10, 2003Applicant: Narad Networks, Inc.Inventors: Charles Bear, Prasad Dorbala, Sunil K. Kotagiri, Srinivas Loke, Vikram Saksena, Ravi S. Kumar, Satish L. Yellanki

Publication number: 20020199205Abstract: A virtual storage adapter provides networked data storage to a data processing device for delivering consumer entertainment services using virtual devices accessed over a high-speed quality-of-service-enabled communications network. A data storage device emulation unit emulates the functionality of a data storage device (e.g., a DVD or a CD) and a network interface comprising an IP Small Computer System Interface (“iSCSI”) compatible interface connects the data storage device emulation unit to an iSCSI storage gateway. The virtual storage adapter provides video on demand (“VoD”) services using a video on demand server comprising a video on demand portal for selection and an administration unit for billing. Personal video recorder services are also provided, including data expiration, capacity on demand, consolidated recording and community recording features.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2002Publication date: December 26, 2002Applicant: Narad Networks, IncInventors: Nitin Sonawane, Vikram Saksena

Publication number: 20020194083Abstract: In a computer network, services are provisioned for a user over the network, typically via a series of messages. Depending on the particular service to be provisioned many network entities may be concerned with the provision of a particular service. However, an initiator of a service request may be unaware of all the network entities concerned with a service provision request. A system which receives a single request for service provisioning from an initiator, determines each network entity corresponding to the request from a common repository of network entities, and applies the operations concerned with the service provision request at each corresponding network entity, allows a service to be provisioned without manually searching and examining the network to determine the network entities concerned with a particular service provision request.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2002Publication date: December 19, 2002Inventors: Srinivas Balabhadrapatruni, Srinivas Loke, Prasad Dorbala, Satish L.

Publication number: 20020178252Abstract: In a network system, services are provided to users via network interconnections from a service provider. Such services include data, voice, video, and others, and are typically implemented and/or initiated via an interconnection from a network node operated by the service provider to customer premises equipment (CPE) operable to receive the service. Service provisioning includes identifying the service to be provided, identifying the CPE to receive the service, and the determining the manner in which the service is to be provided. In an execution environment such as a hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) network, service deployment time and cost, and maintenance are reduced, and reliability increased, by an executable element generator operable to generate workflow definition files, such as an XML (Extensible Markup Language) script. A plurality of services are defined according to a workflow model, in which each of the services corresponds to one or more of the executable scripts.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2002Publication date: November 28, 2002Applicant: Narad Networks, Inc.Inventors: Srinivas Balabhadrapatruni, Prasad Dorbala, Satish L.
