Provided is a method and apparatus for facilitating push communication from a first network to a target device of a second network, the second network comprising a packet service network such as a GPRS core network. A private IP address, usable for addressing the target device when the packet service network is in an activated state with respect thereto, is retained. Upon receipt of a first message from the first network, indicative of a push communication for the target device, the packet service network is disposed into the activated state, and a second message, addressed to the private IP address, is transmitted. The second message may be generated by a NAT configured to implement micro-port forwarding. The second message may be generated by a representative device of the second network, configured to receive the first message via a NAT in response to a query generated by the representative device.

A tunneling infrastructure provides TCP port forwarding from a client running on a client network to a server running on a server network, where the client and servers can be behind separate firewalls. To tunnel TCP, a "server socket" capability is provided, allowing the client to establish a connection to the server across the tunnel. A direct, port forwarding scheme is implemented. The client side is the driver for the tunnel operation. The client maintains multiple URL (Universal Resource Locator) connections to the server side tunnel allowing data to flow in both directions. The client's SendToServer connection(s) use the HTTP POST method to send data from the client side to the server side. The client's ReceiveFromServer connection(s) use the HTTP GET method, and allow data to be sent from the server side to the client side.

Exemplary embodiments are directed to deterministic data transmission of real-time operational data in Highly available, Seamlessly Redundant (HSR) ring-type communication networks with at least a master node, a source node, and a destination node. Each node can include first and second communication ports connected to a respective first and second neighbouring node of the communication network, to receive a frame via the first communication port, and to forward the received frame via the second communication port. The master node sends a first and a second redundant frame or empty data packet to its first and second neighbouring node, respectively. Upon reception of the two redundant frames, the source node inserts process data into a predetermined and dedicated field of each frame. Each one of the two loaded redundant frames is instantaneously and individually forwarded to the first and the second neighbouring node of the source node, respectively. The destination node extracts the process data from the first arriving loaded redundant frame of the pair.

The invention aims at providing a server which manages address information for servers subordinate to a port-forwarding relay device (router) thus allowing an access from a wide area network. A representative server issues a request to assign a default port number to a router. The port management unit of the representative server registered to a default port number acquires the IP address of the router (wide area network address) and port mapping information (port number information on other equipment) from the router and retains the information acquired. In case it is determined that an access from the wide area network is first directed to a representative server, the representative server displays in a list the port number information on the accessing terminal in response to an access from the wide area network. This allows an external user to readily access desired equipment. The representative server periodically makes a port mapping information to the router and updates the information.

A network apparatus for forwarding multicast packets to a plurality of multicast receivers includes a switch and a main module. The switch includes a plurality of ports for connecting the plurality of multicast receivers. The main module includes an Internet group management protocol (IGMP) snooping module and a forwarding module. The IGMP snooping module creates several virtual local area networks (VLANs) based on the possible combinations of the plurality of ports, snoops IGMP report messages, determines port identifiers (IDs) of source ports of the IGMP report messages, and establishes a forwarding table according to the VLANs, the IGMP report messages, and the port IDs. The forwarding module adds VLAN tags to multicast packets according to the forwarding table. The switch forwards the multicast packets with the added VLAN tags to corresponding ports according to the VLAN tags. A method for forwarding multicast packets is also disclosed.

A method operates at the data link level. Each bridge associates, during a guard time, the port through which a frame is first received with a source MAC address until a unicast reply frame confirms the matching two-way path between the source and destination addresses. Any frame from the same source received through another different port is discarded. Each bridge forwards the received broadcast frames through the rest of the ports, except those involving prohibited (down-up) turns, and deviates (or optionally returns) the unicast frames with an unknown or aged destination address through the spanning tree. The protocol can operate with encapsulation in the border bridges or without encapsulation, using in this case the replacement of universal MAC addresses in the border bridges with local MAC addresses. The establishment and control of paths can optionally be performed proactively by the border bridges, especially the bridges connected to servers.

The method is applied to an Openflow Controller in an OpenFlow network and comprises the following steps: A, determining exchange equipment for simultaneously bearing N equivalent paths in the OpenFlow network; B, notifying the exchange equipment of creating a flow distribution group, adding an output port corresponding to each path in the N equivalent paths on the exchange equipment into the flow distribution group; and C, distributing a first OpenFlow meter corresponding to the flow distribution group to the exchange equipment, wherein the first OpenFlow meter contains destinations of the N equivalent paths and is used for the flow distribution group as the output port, so that when the exchange equipment forwards the flow to the destinations, the flow distribution group in the first OpenFlow meter is used as the output port to forward the flow.

Systems and methods are disclosed for performing operations on a host system with one or more virtual machines without persistently storing an agent or daemon thereon. In certain examples, a management server is configured to inject dependencies, such as binary data, over a network to the host system for performing a requested operation. For instance, systems and methods can establish a secure shell (SSH) port forwarding connection through which dependencies stored on the management server are injected into a service console of the host system. The injected dependencies can then be executed and/or used to perform the requested operation, such as a backup or compression operation on virtual machine data. Once the requested operation has completed, the injected binaries are preferably removed from the host system so as to conserve system resources.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a message forwarding method, equipment and network device, wherein the message forwarding method includes the following steps: a layer 3 routing table is queried, according to the destination internet protocol (IP) address of a received message, to acquire the next-hop identification information; an address resolution protocol (ARP) table is queried, according to the next-hop identification information, to acquire the next-hop media access control (MAC) address corresponding to the next-hop identification information, wherein the ARP table is composed of the next-hop identification information and the next-hop MAC address corresponding to the next-hop identification information; a layer 2 forwarding table is queried, according to the next-hop MAC address, to acquire the exit port information corresponding to the next-hop MAC address; the message is forwarded out via the exit port corresponding to the exit port information. By applying the technical solution of the present invention to forward the message, the instantaneous busy problem of the device and the problem of the traffic interruption can be solved, wherein the problems are caused by that a large number of ARP Miss messages and ARP request messages are generated when the port switch in a virtual local area network (VLAN) occurs in the prior art. Therefore, the forwarding efficiency of the message is improved.
