Appl. No.:

11/324638

Inventors:

Udit Goyal - Aligarh, IN
Gregory Slowiak - Cary IL, US
Michael Dempsey - Park Ridge IL, US
Anne-Marie Turgeon - Wakefield MA, US

Assignee:

3Com Corporation - Marlborough MA

International Classification:

H04L 12/66

US Classification:

370352000, 370395520

Abstract:

A system and method for feature-based service control using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) in an Internet Protocol Automatic Branch Exchanges (IPABX) system is described. The system and method include a new Event package and new Enhanced SIP methodsto control information for various feature-based services like wakeup alarm, call forwarding, voicemail configuration, and other services provided by traditional PBX systems. A user provides input to a client device to activate or deactivate feature-based services. In response, the client device sends a message to the IPABX server to activate or deactivate the feature-based service(s). The IPABX server then notifies the client device that the feature based-service(s) have been activated or deactivated.

International Classification:

G06F 15/173
G06F 9/455

US Classification:

703 23, 709224

Abstract:

A method of modeling user behavior in an IP network, comprising the steps of allowing a testing user to create a behavior profile specifying one or more user activities from a plurality of user activities performed by a user over the IP network, one or more bandwidth usage levels corresponding to the one or more user activities, and an importance level associated with each user activity; associating one or more applications from a plurality of applications with the one or more user activities; emulating the behavior profile over the IP network by performing the one or more user activities using the one or more applications; and measuring a quality of experience (QoE) score for each user activity from the one or more user activities.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709230

Abstract:

A method for synchronizing different components of a computer network system using meta-commands embedded in normal network packets. The data communication channel between different components of a computer network system can be used to transport meta-commands piggybacked in normal network packets, without modifying or compromising the validity of the protocol message. Embodiments of the method can be used for embedding test synchronization and control commands into the network packets sent through a device or system under test. The device or system under test can be an edge device, with the data communication channel carrying normal packets containing meta-commands embedded in the packets to synchronize the test control of the test clients and the test servers connected to the edge device.

US Classification:

715736, 709224

Abstract:

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for establishing Quality of Experience (QoE) measurements and metrics for different types of actual user activities over IP networks. These activities include, but are not limited to web browsing, sending and receiving email, file downloading and uploading, peer to peer (P2P) networking, VoIP, online gaming, and media streaming. The measurement of the QoE metrics is based on both objective and subjective metrics, including network characteristics, such as packet loss and latency, along with empirical observations of the user activities.

International Classification:

H04L 12/26

US Classification:

370241

Abstract:

Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for network monitoring and testing using dimension-value based KPIs that are configured and calculated from a stream of homogenous or heterogeneous data events. The embodiments describe flexible and abstract ways of specifying configurations for the calculation of the KPIs from the stream of network events. Embodiments are described in the context of calculating KPIs for call detail records (CDRs) for computer telephony events.
