Assignee:

Alcatel Lucent - Paris

International Classification:

H04L 12/28

US Classification:

370392, 370400

Abstract:

Ethernet VLL spoke termination at an IP interface is disclosed. A packet including an address associated with a remote host is received at an interface. A routing next hop information required to route the packet to the remote host at a far end of a pseudo-wire via which connectivity to the remote host is provided and an intermediate next hop information required to send the packet to the far end via the pseudo-wire are determined in a single forwarding stage, based at least in part on the interface and the address.

US Classification:

709223, 709220, 709248, 370254

Abstract:

Managing a network resource is disclosed. An indication that a resource assigned to a subscriber host by a resource allocating node is no longer to be used by the subscriber host is received at a node other than the subscriber host or the resource allocating node. A resource release communication is sent to the resource allocating node from said node other than the subscriber host or the resource allocating node. The resource release communication appears to the resource allocating node to originate from the subscriber host and indicates to the resource allocating node that the resource is no longer to be used by the subscriber host.

US Classification:

370235, 370252, 370412, 370465

Abstract:

Providing network access is disclosed. Use of a provider equipment port via which network access is provided to two or more downstream nodes, each having one or more classes of network traffic associated with it, is scheduled on a per class basis, across the downstream nodes. The respective network traffic sent to each of at least a subset of the two or more downstream nodes is limited, on a per downstream node basis, to a corresponding rate determined at least in part by a capacity of a communication path associated with the downstream node.

Abstract:

Aggregating links across multiple chassis is disclosed. An indication that one or more local links are to be aggregated with one or more links on another chassis is received. Coordination with the other chassis is performed, via an inter-chassis control path, to present to a downstream equipment as an aggregated group of links the one or more local links and the one or more links on the other chassis.
