20080243683 | Mechanism for secure rehosting of licenses - In one embodiment, a licensing authority receives a rehost ticket indicating proof of removal of a license from a first device. The licensing authority receives a request for a license for a second device. The licensing authority validates the rehost ticket to ensure that the license on the first device has been removed from the first device. The licensing authority provides a license for the second device if the rehost ticket is successfully validated, wherein the license that has been removed from the first device and the license for the second device provide the same license capabilities. The first device and the second device are associated with the same customer. Payment has been received for the license associated with the first device but payment has not been received for a separate license capable of being applied to the second device. | 10-02-2008 |
20130282884 | ENABLING APPLICATIONS IN A MULTI-TRANSPORT STACK ENVIRONMENT - In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a first transport stack, a virtual network interface controller (VNIC), and a second transport stack. The first transport stack is associated with an Internetwork Operating System (IOS), as well as with a plurality of interface-based Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and a plurality of IP addresses. The VNIC is configured to dynamically provision the plurality of interface-based IP addresses and the plurality of IP addresses. The second transport stack is associated with a kernel, and configured to communicate with a first application. The MS is configured to enable the first application to share the plurality of IP addresses and the plurality if IP addresses with a plurality of applications. | 10-24-2013 |
20140140211 | CLASSIFICATION OF TRAFFIC FOR APPLICATION AWARE POLICIES IN A WIRELESS NETWORK - In one embodiment, a method includes performing stateful application classification on packets received at a controller and transmitting classification information to an access point. The classification information includes flow information and stateless rules for applying policies. The access point is configured to use the classification information to perform stateless application classification and apply policies to packets received from a mobile device. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein. | 05-22-2014 |
20140269535 | WIRELESS SYSTEM WITH SPLIT CONTROL PLANE AND DATA PLANE - In one embodiment, a method includes identifying an access point joining a wireless controller in communication with a switch, establishing a control tunnel between the access point and the wireless controller, transmitting an address of the switch from the wireless controller to the access point, and requesting the switch to setup a data tunnel with the access point. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein. | 09-18-2014 |
20150063158 | Wireless Network Flow Monitoring - Techniques are presented herein for enabling performance monitoring of flows within a management and provisioning tunnel used for communicating packets between a wireless controller and wireless access point devices. A wireless controller that is configured to communicate with at least one wireless access point obtains a packet to be sent to the wireless access point for wireless transmission in a wireless network by the wireless access point. The wireless controller identifies, based on the packet, traffic session flow information associated with the packet. The wireless controller encapsulates the packet with a tunneling header that comprises the traffic session flow information and sends the encapsulated packet to the wireless access point. The tunneling header may also comprise an application identifier (ID) associated with the packet. | 03-05-2015 |
20150078402 | Enabling Mobile Applications to Acquire a MAC Address for Obtaining Location Information - Techniques are presented to enable a network element in a network to receive a request from an application on a device, the request being encapsulated in a packet that includes a header that contains a physical layer identifier of the device to which the application does not have access. The physical layer identifier at the network element may be obtained. A response may be sent to the application on the device, the response containing at least one of the physical layer identifier of the device and location information of the device. | 03-19-2015 |
20150358410 | TRANSFER OF SESSION FROM INTERACTIVE DIGITAL SIGN TO MOBILE DEVICE - In one embodiment, a method includes creating at a network device, a user session with an interactive digital sign, generating a session tag for the user session, wherein the session tag is configured for input at a mobile device, transmitting the session tag to the interactive digital sign, and continuing at the network device, the user session with the mobile device. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein. | 12-10-2015 |
