Appl. No.:

10/867158

Inventors:

Yusun Kim Riley - Marlborough MA, US
Ajit Nair - Westford MA, US
Michael Mercurio - Jamaica Plain MA, US

Assignee:

Camiant, Inc. - Marlborough MA

International Classification:

H04B 7/212

US Classification:

370348, 370235, 370236, 370329, 370336, 370338, 370341, 370352, 37039521, 370468

Abstract:

A method of assigning network resources between network endpoints includes providing a session initiation request to an application manager. The application manager is logically and physically decoupled from an application server associated with the network endpoints. This request initiates communication between the network endpoints through the set of network resources. The communication employs an application residing on an application server. The method also includes providing a PCMM message from the application manager to a policy server as a result of the session initiation request. The PCMM message includes at least some information, for example QoS information, embedded in the session initiation request. The method further includes selecting, via the policy server, a set of network resources for creating a path connecting the network endpoints. The policy server selects the set of network assets based on the PCMM message, for example to set QoS for the communication between the two endpoints.

International Classification:

H04L012/28

US Classification:

370/401000, 370/389000

Abstract:

A method of dynamic host configuration is provided. The method includes receiving a provisioning request from a media terminal adapter including an identifier, selecting a service provider designated Internet Protocol address for providing telephony service through the media terminal adapter, and generating a unique fully qualified domain name for the media terminal adapter based on the identifier. The method further includes transmitting the unique fully qualified domain name and Internet Protocol address to the media terminal adapter, receiving a provisioning acceptance notice from the media terminal adapter, and providing configuration information to the media terminal adapter including the selected fully qualified domain name and the selected internet protocol address. In another method, a domain name server stores the Internet Protocol address and fully qualified domain name in order to support look-ups based on either the Internet Protocol address or the fully qualified domain name.

Tavit Ohanian - Waltham MA, US

International Classification:

G06F017/30

US Classification:

707/009000

Abstract:

A distributed provisioning system has a central database and a number of distributed provisioning servers. The provisioning servers connect to the central database for provisioning information, and for provisioning information for user access devices that need provisioning. The central database stores the provisioning information for the provisioning servers in uniquely accessible restricted access locations of the database, and maintains provisioning information for user access devices in a globally available location of the database.

Abstract:

A distributed provisioning system has a central directory server and a number of distributed provisioning servers. The provisioning servers connect to the central directory server for provisioning information, and for provisioning information for user access devices that need provisioning. The central directory server stores the provisioning information for the provisioning servers in uniquely accessible restricted access locations of a database, and maintains provisioning information for user access devices in a globally available location of the database.

International Classification:

G06F015/177

US Classification:

709/220000, 709/219000

Abstract:

An automated registration process for registering a new user and new high speed access device with an internet service provider is accomplished without requiring user input aside from choices of service provider, service level agreement, and the provision of basic user information. A mediation server communicates with a provisioning server to obtain necessary access device information without requiring a user to access or know such information.

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709/227000

Abstract:

Intelligent round robin assignment of users to subnets within an internet service provider includes determining an assignment criteria for assigning users to the ISP, and assigning users to the subnet that best fits the assignment criteria. Assignment criteria are determined based on any number of factors including available resources and user history.
