Patent ID: 8107451

Claim:
A system for deallocating resources allocated to a network communications session, the method comprising: a selected node that belongs to a communications path of a network communications session, wherein said selected node is configured to provide its location and velocity; and an extrapolating node that belongs to said communications path of said network communications session, and that is configured to receive said selected node location and velocity, extrapolate an expected location of said selected node, determine if said extrapolated location is beyond a predefined range from a neighboring node that belongs to said communications path of said network communications session and that immediately neighbors said selected node along said communications path, and deallocate any resources allocated to said network communications session if said extrapolated location is beyond said range, wherein said predefined period of time is an expected round-trip-time (RTT) for messages to travel a round trip between said extrapolating node and said selected node, and wherein if said extrapolated location is beyond said range from said neighboring node and if said extrapolated location is within a predefined distance from said neighboring node, said extrapolating node is configured to send a message to said selected node, and deallocate said resources if no confirmation is received from said selected node within a predefined period of time from when said message is sent.
