Ethernet header compression in a wireless network

A wireless device receives, from a base station, a radio resource control message comprising at least one packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) configuration parameter indicating Ethernet header compression for a data radio bearer. The wireless device receives, from the base station and based on the at least one PDCP configuration parameter, mapping information between: a source medium access control (MAC) address and a destination MAC address; and a corresponding header compression index. The wireless device receives a compressed Ethernet packet: compressed based on the mapping information; and comprising the corresponding header compression index.

INTEGRATION OF PHYSICAL AND VIRTUAL LMR NETWORKS
20180006844 · 2018-01-04 ·

Integration of a land mobile radio (LMR) communications system and other wireless IP based systems such as LTE by way of a virtual router and virtual base stations. The LMR system may be either trunked or conventional. The virtual router maintains LMR IDs and also IP addresses for both physical and virtual base stations, multi bearer terminals and other components of the integrated system. Physical LMR base stations form a physical network. Virtual LMR base stations form a virtual network. These physical and virtual LMR networks communicate using ISSI, AIS or DFSI for example.

A method and a computer system is provided for executing the method for providing a registration data directory service (RDDS). The method includes obtaining, at a RDDS, a RDDS query comprising a location assertion from a RDDS client from a RDDS client; providing, by the RDDS, a request for personally identifying information (PII) for the RDDS query from a privacy provider, wherein the request comprises the location assertion; obtaining, by the RDDS, the PII for the RDDS query; and providing, by the RDDS, a response to the RDDS query to the RDDS client, wherein the response comprises PII.

User-configurable dynamic DNS mapping for virtual services
11546289 · 2023-01-03 · ·

Various example implementations are directed to circuits, apparatuses, and methods for providing virtual computing services. According to an example embodiment, an apparatus includes a computing server configured to provide a respective group of virtual servers for each of a plurality of accounts. Each of the accounts has a respective set of domain names and a respective settings file. The apparatus also includes a domain name server (DNS). The DNS is to dynamically map a respective set of domain names for each account to network addresses of the respective group of virtual servers, provided for the account. The DNS performs the mapping according to a mapping function indicated in the respective settings file of the account. The respective settings file of a first account accounts includes a mapping function that is different from a mapping function included in the respective settings file of a second account.

Network Filtering with Private Resolvable Addresses
20220368632 · 2022-11-17 · ·

This document describes network filtering with private resolvable addresses in a wireless network. A source node in the wireless network hashes an identity resolving key and a value of a random number field to generate an address hash. The source node forms an advertisement address that includes a portion of the address hash and inserts the advertisement address in an advertising extension packet. The source node transmits the advertising extension packet over the wireless network, the address hash being usable by a destination node to filter the advertising extension packet.

Filtering advertising of route advertisements based on virtual network identifiers

Network identifiers are extracted from route advertisements. A table associates virtual network identifiers with provider edge devices. When a virtual network identifier extracted from a route advertisement matches a virtual network identifier in the table, the route advertisement is propagated to the provider edge devices associated with that virtual network identifier in the table. The route advertisement is not propagated to provider edge devices not associated with that virtual network identifier in the table.

Resolving Domain Name System (DNS) Requests Via Proxy Mechanisms
20230102361 · 2023-03-30 · ·

Systems and methods are described herein for providing proxy mechanisms for DNS services, such as resolving DNS requests. In some embodiments, the systems and methods establish a Proxy DNS module at a DNS resolver of an internet service provider, and access, with the proxy DNS module, DNS queries destined for a public name server. The name server may be accessible by the DNS resolver via a publically-accessible network. Further, the systems and methods may route the accessed DNS queries to a private name server associated with the proxy DNS module and accessible via a private communications channel, and receive, from the private name server and via the private communications channel, IP addresses associated with the DNS queries.

Network identifiers are extracted from route advertisements. A table associates virtual network identifiers with provider edge devices. When a virtual network identifier extracted from a route advertisement matches a virtual network identifier in the table, the route advertisement is propagated to the provider edge devices associated with that virtual network identifier in the table. The route advertisement is not propagated to provider edge devices not associated with that virtual network identifier in the table.

Compression of Ethernet Packet Header

Described are embodiments for Ethernet header compression. A base station sends, to a wireless device, a radio resource control message including a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) configuration parameter indicating Ethernet header compression for a data radio bearer. Based on the PDCP configuration parameter, the base station sends, to the wireless device, a message including: a source medium access control (MAC) address and a destination MAC address, and a header compression index corresponding to the source MAC address and the destination MAC address. The base station sends, to the wireless device, a compressed Ethernet packet: including a packet header being compressed based on the message; and including the corresponding header compression index.

Network Layer Performance and Security Provided By a Distributed Cloud Computing Network

A GRE tunnel is configured between multiple computing devices of a distributed cloud computing network and a single origin router of the origin network. The GRE tunnel has a first GRE endpoint that has an IP address that is shared among the computing devices of the distribute cloud computing network and a second GRE endpoint that has a publicly routable IP address of the origin router. A first computing device receives an IP packet from a client that is destined to an origin server. The first computing device processes the received IP packet and encapsulates the IP packet inside an outer packet to generate a GRE encapsulated packet whose source address is the first GRE endpoint and the destination address is the second GRE endpoint. The GRE encapsulated packet is transmitted over the GRE tunnel to the single origin router.
