Patent GB-0003447-D0 (GB)
Title: High availability label distribution protocol for label-switched networks
IPC: H04L45/50
Filed: 2000-02-16
Abstract: The Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) specified by the IETF for the distribution of labels between Label-Switched Routers (LSRs) in a label-switched network uses a TCP session between LSR peers in order to distribute labels. TCP is notoriously difficult and inefficient to implement in a fault-tolerant manner, which means that LDP is not suitable for to use in a system that requires high-availability of the label distribution service. This also applies to the constraint-based variant of LDP, CR-LDP, also specified by the IETF, as it inherits the use of TCP sessions between LSR peers from the base LDP specification. The present invention enhances the LDP specification to allow LSR peers to recover from hardware or software faults that cause a failure of the TCP session between the LSR peers without the need for either peer to implement a fault-tolerant version of TCP.

Title: Home multimedia network architecture
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2000-03-02
Abstract: A home network has an internal digital network (e.g. Ethernet) interconnecting devices in the home. Entertainment services are introduced into the internal network though interface units 32 that are coupled to an external network. The interface units perform the necessary interfacing between the external and internal networks, and provide terminals 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 with entertainment services. Set-top boxes/electronics 40 prepare the information in the digital data stream for display, for example, by a television. Two-way communication between a set-top box and an interface unit is controlled by a computer. The separation of the interface unit and the set-top electronics allows a single network interface unit to provide programming selectively to a multitude of set-top electronics and televisions within the home.
