Abstract: A session border controller for delivering content includes a first port to communicate with a user using a first signaling protocol, a second port to communicate with a content provider using a second signaling protocol, and a processor coupled to the first and second ports. The session border controller sends a message to the content provider to begin delivery of a content destined for the user. The session border controller receives a first media stream including the content and content provider information from the content provider. The session border controller creates a second media stream that includes the content without the content provider information, and delivers the second media stream to the user.

Abstract: Techniques are provided to programming network analytics processing in virtual and physical network devices, useful for software-defined networking (SDN). A controller, e.g., a so-called SDN controller, is configured to identify a control-plane or data-plane flow originating, terminating or transiting a physical or virtual network element. The controller generates one or more network analytics processing actions to be performed by the physical or virtual network element based on inspection of traffic by the physical or virtual network element. The controller forms or generates an inspect/apply-action message containing information identifying the control-plane or data-plane flow for inspection and the one or more network analytics processing actions to be performed. The inspect/apply-action message is sent to the physical or virtual network element.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for enabling tag networking. In one example, a network device (e.g., switch, router, etc.) is configured to receive a packet of a traffic flow and to analyze the traffic flow to determine the packet belongs to a particular type of traffic. The network device can then add and/or change a tag in a data field of the packet. The tag, among other things, serves as an identifier for the particular type of traffic flow. The tag is identifiable by a downstream node that is preconfigured to recognize the tag and to carry out logic in response to recognizing the tag. Advantageously, the tag functionality of the present approach provides a generalized way of adding information to packets; the information and the associated functionalities are customizable during a runtime of the network.

Abstract: An example system and method for facilitating virtual cable modem termination system VCMTS redundancy in cable modem network environments is provided and includes spawning a first instance of a virtual network function (VNF) on a first server in a cable modem network, spawning a second instance of the VNF on a different second server, configuring the second instance to be communicatively coupled to the first instance in a same subnet of the network, and synchronizing (e.g., copying, coordinating, matching, etc.) state between the first instance and the second instance. In specific embodiments, the VNF comprises a VCMTS.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to extend routing rules from external services. A request is received to modify a specified rule in a network element of a network. The specified rule governs disposition of a network flow specific to an application. The request is received via a communications channel configured to expose an application programming interface (API) to the application. The request is interpreted at a network abstraction layer of the network element. The request is converted into a command at a service implementation layer of the network element. The command is executed to modify the specified rule in the network element, responsive to the request.
