298 results about "IPv4" patented technology

Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) is the fourth version of the Internet Protocol (IP). It is one of the core protocols of standards-based internetworking methods in the Internet and other packet-switched networks. IPv4 was the first version deployed for production in the ARPANET in 1983. It still routes most Internet traffic today, despite the ongoing deployment of a successor protocol, IPv6. IPv4 is described in IETF publication RFC 791 (September 1981), replacing an earlier definition (RFC 760, January 1980).

X-over-Y tunnel signaling and configuration, and use of configured X-over-Y tunnel(s)

Network operators can define port mappings for UDP destination ports and the encapsulated protocol / traffic type (X) in UDP. BGP may be used to notify the UDP destination port-to-traffic type mapping to an encapsulator. A generic UDP encapsulation mechanism (X-in-UDP), where UDP can be used to encapsulate packets of any user configured protocol / traffic type X (e.g., IPv4, IPv6, MPLS, etc.), is described. Primary benefits of using UDP for encapsulation are to leverage UDP port numbers for load-balancing. Generic UDP encapsulation of any protocol / traffic type using user defined port-maps provides flexibility to network operators in constructing different overlay networks. UDP encapsulation helps leverage fine-grade load balancing over Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP).
