TLDR
In this article, an efficient routing information through a dynamic network consisting of at least one ingress point and one egress point is proposed. But the system is not suitable for large networks and it requires the ingress and egress to form a virtual circuit for routing packets to destination subnets directly reachable by the egress.Abstract:
The present invention provides an efficient system and method for routing information through a dynamic network. The system includes at least one ingress point and one egress point. The ingress and egress point cooperate to form a virtual circuit for routing packets to destination subnets directly reachable by the egress point. The egress point automatically discovers which subnets are directly accessible via its local ports and summarizes this information for the ingress point. The ingress point receives this information, compiles it into a routing table, and verifies that those subnets are best accessed by the egress point. Verification is accomplished by sending probe packets to select addresses on the subnet. Additionally, the egress point may continue to monitor the local topology and incrementally update the information to the ingress to allow the ingress to adjust its compiled routing table.read more

Transaction accelerator for client-server communication systems
Steven Mccanne,Michael J. Demmer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a client directs a request to a client-side transaction handler that forwards the request to the server side transaction handler, which in turn provides the request, or a representation thereof, to a server for responding to the request.

Enforcing network service level agreements in a network element
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a mechanism to enforce network service-level agreements in a network infrastructure element by copying an application-layer message without disrupting the forwarding of the application layer message.

Method and apparatus for generating a network topology representation based on inspection of application messages at a network device
Kollivakkam Raghavan,Tefcros Anthias,Parley Van Oleson,Sunil Potti,Raj K. De Datta,Stephen Cho +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method for generating a network topology representation based on inspection of application messages at a network device. But the method is limited to the case where the network device receives a request packet, routes the packet to the destination, and extracts and stores correlation information from a copy of the request packet in order to determine application-to-application mapping and calculate application response times.
Patent
Identity brokering in a network element
TL;DR: In this paper, an application or administrative user can declare a policy for user identity information extraction, authentication and authorization, based on the policy, the network element extracts identity information or credentials from a transport layer message header, application-layer message header and message body.

Peer-model support for virtual private networks having potentially overlapping addresses
Yakov Rekhter,Eric Rosen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a service provider's routers (PE 1, P 1, P 2, PE 2 ) provide connections between and share routing information with routers (CE 1, CE 2 ) of a customer virtual private network (VPN) as well as routers of other customers' VPNs, which may have overlapping address spaces.

Virtual private networks and methods for their operation
TL;DR: In this paper, a respective broadcast address is assigned to each of a plurality of distinct sets of virtual ports, and a respective egress address corresponds to a respective destination address of the entering packet when a correspondence between the destination address and an Egress address is known.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a method for high-speed, QoS-driven, and secure transport of voice, video and data packets for facilitating the convergence of multiple networking facilities into one.
Patent
System for routing packet switched traffic
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used ATM switches as high performance Internet routers by using standard ATM signaling to set up cut-through paths, which are Switched Virtual Paths which are shared with similar flows toward the same destination and a similar QOS.

Flow detection scheme to support QoS flows between source and destination nodes
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and a system for improving communication performance between nodes in a network is disclosed, which includes routers, switches, and a communication interface, which detects a communication flow between a source and a destination in response to a flow criteria.
