A class-4 telecommunications switch hosts artificial-intelligence agents that convert live speech to text, translate the text between languages, and synthesize natural speech in real time. The switch proxies calls among public trunks, PBX / media gateways, and cloud ACD / CRM services, embedding diacritic-rich transcripts and user-specific language-model personalization. Deployable at the customer edge, in the PSTN core, or as SaaS, the system supports one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, and many-to-many call patterns. FPGA, ASIC, or SoC accelerators minimize latency and bandwidth, cutting capital cost while improving global voice interoperability and cybersecurity.

A method of forwarding traffic to a client edge (CE) device comprises using an ordered list of virtual local area network (VLAN) identifiers, where each VLAN identifier corresponds to a respective one of a plurality of VLANs, to assign, for each of the plurality of VLANs, one of a plurality of provider edge (PE) devices that are connected to the CE device to forward traffic that is within a class of traffic to the CE device.

A method implemented by a network node in a Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) domain is used to provide fast egress protection. The method includes receiving a type length value (TLV) structure that identifies a backup egress node for a destination network node and includes an entry that indicates whether a primary egress node and the backup egress node transmit a packet to a same customer edge (CE) or to different customer edges (CEs), generating an egress protection bit index forwarding table (EP-BIFT) including the backup egress node and the entry that indicates whether the primary egress node and the backup egress node transmit the packet to the same CE or to different CEs, and forwarding the packet in accordance with the EP-BIFT when the primary egress node has failed.

A Provider Edge (PE) router includes a plurality of ports configured to connect to one or more Customer Edge (CE) devices, wherein the plurality of ports are in an Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) with a second PE router having a second plurality of ports; a static connection configured to connect to the second plurality of ports in the second PE router; and switching circuitry connected to and configured to switch traffic between the plurality of ports, the static connection, and an Internet Protocol (IP) interface connected to an external network, wherein the EVPN is confined to dual homing and protection functionality in the dual homing is performed based on settings in the switching circuitry.

A routing structure is defined for provider edge (PE) routers that will create the ability to recompute best paths based on application criteria. The routing structure may include the use of a network controller which is connected with the internet to receive requests from applications to trigger path re-computation. The controller will peer with PEs to send re-computation information used by the PE to construct an application-aware BGP table and forwarding instance. The PE also defines a new BGP and packet filter to replicate specific BGP paths into the application-aware table. The application-aware BGP and forwarding instance is unique to the requesting application. Thus, each request with a different source / destination combination obtains a discrete table providing separation. When a packet enters the PE from customer edge (CE) or core interface the packet traverses a packet filter that when matched against source / destination is redirected to the appropriate application-aware forwarding table. Once in the application-aware table the packet is then forwarded along the application-aware path achieving the objective. The instantiation of the application-aware BGP and forwarding table is be done based on BGP updates learned from the controller.

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to staging a universal customer edge gateway device. A universal customer edge gateway device may generate, prior to deployment of the universal customer edge gateway device at a customer location, copies of virtual network function (VNF) operating system (OS) images on the universal customer edge gateway device, the copies including a first copy of a first VNF OS image and a second copy of a second VNF OS image; identify, during a deployment of the universal customer edge gateway device at the customer location, a selection of the first copy from a list of the copies; copy, during the deployment and based on the selection, the first VNF OS image to the universal customer edge gateway device; and instantiate, at the universal customer edge gateway device, the copied first VNF OS image.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying, by an apparatus, a media access control (MAC) address of a customer edge (CE) device, and advertising the MAC address in a MAC route based on the identifying, wherein the MAC route is tagged with an extended community that identifies an Ethernet Segment (ES) associated with the apparatus, the extended community enabling another apparatus that is also associated with the ES to import the MAC route. Other embodiments are disclosed.

In a loop avoidance communications method, a first provider edge (PE) device sends a first identifier to a second PE device through a first interface; the first PE device receives, from the second PE through the first interface, a data packet including the first identifier. Then, the first PE device determines that a second interface associated with the first identifier is in a faulty state. In response to determining that the second interface is in the faulty state, the first PE device avoids sending the data packet to the second PE device through the first interface. The first PE device connects to a customer edge (CE) device using the second interface.

Techniques are described herein for performing filtering of frames by a provider edge device. The techniques comprise receiving information about one or more local customer edge devices in communication with a provider edge device. The techniques further comprise receiving a frame (e.g., a multi-destination frame) at the provider edge device to be provided to multiple customer edge devices. The techniques further comprise, upon determining, based on information included in the frame, that the device at which the frame originated is not a root device, identifying a subset of the set of local customer edge devices associated with a root status and providing the frame to the subset of the set of local customer edge devices while not providing the multi-destination frame to local customer edge devices outside of the subset.

Systems and methods are provided for flexible and scalable Automatic Next-Hop Resolution (ANR) in Traffic Engineering (TE) networks using color-templates. A Customer Edge (CE) router associates a color with an advertised prefix and communicates the colored prefix to a node in a service provider network, such as a Provider Edge (PE) router or Border Router (BR). Upon receipt of the colored prefix, the node requests a controller to generate a Segment Routing (SR) policy or tunnel based on a color-template corresponding to the color. The controller maintains the color-templates, computes paths subject to template-defined parameters and constraints, and returns SR policy or tunnel information for installation at the requesting node. When the CE changes the color associated with the prefix, the node triggers generation of a new policy or tunnel based on the updated color-template. Default templates and template update handling are also supported, reducing provider-side configuration and improving operational scalability.
