Intelligent Redundant Calling Application Overlays For A Unique Device Profile For Enhanced Calling Redundancy, Sharma Venkata Satya Kanchinadham Subramanya

Defensive Publications Series

Calling is a very important, critical, and basic service. Some users may employ a single client application to serve their critical calling needs. However, in the event of a software defect or a crash, such an application may not function properly, thus impacting the critical calling service. Commonly, there is no built-in backup application overlay that may be automatically invoked when an application fails, thus resulting in a loss of service. Techniques are presented herein that strengthen calling application reliability by introducing redundant application overlays using the same user, device, and network profile. Such techniques may catapult calling service provider …

A Fast And Low-Cost Approach For Heterodyne Rf Testing Of High-Speed Eo Modulators For Manufacturing, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

Standard measurement of RF bandwidth, whether the device under test (DUT) is an optical receiver or an optical transmitter, requires the use of very expensive equipment. A vector network analyzer (VNA) is often used to characterize the frequency response of a DUT in both amplitude and phase from DC to high frequency. In the telecommunication industry, the test frequency upper limit is continually growing, which causes test challenges, both in terms of complexity and test equipment cost. It is proposed to look at testing components up to 110 GHz. Most of the times, from a production standpoint, only the amplitude …

Mechanism To Distinguish Between Sr-Te And Non-Te S-Bfd Return Paths At Sr Head Node, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

Segment Routing is an emerging technology in Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network, Seamless Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) over these networks is used as Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) mechanisms to provide fast switchovers and thus meet customer Service Level Agreement (SLA). BFD running over Label-switch Paths (LSP’s) can have MPLS/IP encapsulation in forward and backward directions. In case of Seamless BFD (S-BFD) running over Segment Routing-Traffic Engineered (SR-TE) networks, it may happen that BFD switches to a different MPLS/IP path instead of user configured MPLS path thus compromising the guaranteed SLA.
