摘要： A method and system for protecting a service available on a broadcast domain. A sub-domain is established within the broadcast domain. The sub-domain includes a group of nodes used to provide a communication path to the service. A primary sub-domain maintenance association and a back-up sub-domain maintenance association are monitored. The primary and sub-domain maintenance associations are a set of primary and back-up paths, respectively, representing connectivity between nodes acting as edge nodes in the sub-domain. A fault is detected within the primary sub-domain maintenance association and a switch to the back-up sub-domain maintenance association occurs.

摘要： Described are a system and method for identifying private resources associated with a communications network. A structured address format is defined having a plurality of character positions. Each character position is associated generally with a property of a managed resource in the communications network. A structured private address, constructed according to the structured address format, is assigned to the managed resource. Each character position of the assigned structured address has a value that identifies a specific instance of the property of the managed resource associated with that character position. Operations Systems Support (OSS) gives a common name to the managed resource and maintains an association between the common name and the structured address. The structured address format can follow a four-byte dotted decimal notation similar to IPv4 addresses. For addresses following this format, the OSS can use standard domain name system services to translate between common names and structured addresses.

摘要： Described are a system and method for establishing zone-based pricing for services transported over connectionless and connection-oriented networks. The connectivity network supporting the service is partitioned into one or more zones. A node connected to a packet transport network receives a packet associated with the service. The packet has information that is used to identify one of the zones of the connectivity network to which the packet can be transmitted. Service providers are thus able to use zoning to apply a pricing structure for services traditionally lacking distance-based pricing, such as Ethernet, Storage, and Internet Protocol services.

摘要： Systems and methods are provided for a multi-floor and/or multi-site distributed switch. As video applications such as “video on demand” (VoD) start to become more used by the general public and desire for combining networks capable of carrying voice, data, internet and video increases, service providers are requiring broadband networking capabilities that require new scaleable infrastructure solutions. Existing network technologies are not flexible enough to deliver broadband traffic required for each floor of a multi-floor network data center (NDC) or multiple NDCs connected in a ring. Conventional solutions involve direct cabling from each floor to a common room on one floor of the site. Embodiments of the present invention provide for a distributed switch including a plurality of switching elements on different floors/sites that is non-blocking under defined traffic conditions. By understanding some key dynamics of the NDC, including the attributes of the services being implemented and what functionality exists on each floor, the distributed switch is designed to handle a capacity much greater (>>3×) than independent monolithic switching elements on each floor joining in a “meet-me” room.
