A request is received for secure network traffic from a device having a private network address at a source node. The private network address of a requested destination device is obtained at a destination node from a route server based on signaling information associated with the request. The public network address of the destination node associated with the private network address is obtained. In response to the request, a virtual circuit is created between the source node and the destination node based on the public network address of the destination node. Network traffic is encrypted for transport at least from the source node to the destination node through the virtual circuit. Creating the virtual circuit dynamically in response to the request functions like a fully meshed network but requires less provisioning and maintenance. The process is readily scalable, as with a hub and spoke network but with less delay.

Content servers are directed to send messages to network nodes which are used to obtain IP addresses and to receive responses from the network nodes. The responses provide network service information. The content servers collect data based on the responses and feed the data to a routing server.

An approach for routing over a radio network is provided. A terminal receives a packet over the radio network, which supports meshed connectivity, wherein the packet is destined for a destination host. The terminal determines whether the destination host is reachable by a communication interface based upon a route table, and selectively redirects the packet over the radio network according to the route table. A route server is provided to collect routes from the terminal as well as other terminals within the radio network. The route server then disseminates the collect routes to the terminals for updating of their respective route tables. The present invention has particular applicability to a fully meshed satellite network.

A client device transmits, via a voice-over-packet (VoP) access network, a message that requests an emergency services call. An outbound proxy server receives the message and obtains a network-provided location of the client device, e.g., by looking up the source address of the message in a location database maintained by the access network or by invoking an active network location function. The outbound proxy server inserts the network-provided location into the message, leaving any client-provided location in the message undisturbed, and forwards the message to an emergency services routing server. The emergency services routing server determines which public safety answering point (PSAP) should receive the call, based on at least one of the network-provided location and any client-provided location in the message.

A method, system and computer program product for instant message communication in a wireless and non-wireless environment. A message is sent from a mobile unit device over a wireless communication network. The message includes a destination address, information associated with the mobile unit device's user, message content and message address. If, according to information previously stored for the mobile unit device's user at the instant message system, the destination address is associated with an instant message function, the associated instant message function is executed at the instant message system using the information contained in the message content, if required as determined by the associated instant message function. If, according to information previously stored for the mobile unit device's user at the instant message system, the destination address is associated with an instant message name, an instant message is created according to the message content and is sent to the user with the associated instant message name. For instant messages sent or received by a mobile unit device with known buddies, the instant message is optimized by tagging the instant message with a routing phone number that is unique to the mobile unit device and buddy combination, whose identity is stored both in the mobile unit device address book and in the instant message routing server.

The invention discloses a quantum cryptography network dynamic routing method. According to the method, dynamic routing selection of encryption communication is performed by utilizing quantum cryptography according to changes of the quantum key quantity between relay nodes of a quantum cryptography network. According to the method, a route server is arranged for the relay nodes of the whole quantum cryptography network, and topology refresh cycles of the quantum cryptography network are set; in each topology refresh cycle, each relay node collects and processes state information of the relay node and reports results to the route server. After the route server collects the topology state information of each relay node, quantum cryptography network topology state information of a next topology refresh cycle is generated and sent to all the relay nodes of the quantum cryptography network. According to the quantum cryptography network topology state information obtained from the route server, a target relay node is calculated and determined to be a next skip route of communication data of a random other relay node according to a shortest path law through each relay node.

Routing information may be provided to VPN sites on demand to allow smaller VPN sites with smaller routing tables to communicate directly with other VPN sites. This allows the meshed VPN architecture to scale to a size larger than where each VPN site is required to store routing information for all other VPN sites. A route server is instantiated on the network, optionally in connection with a Group Controller Key Server, to manage distribution of routes on the network and to provide routes to VPN sites on demand. As routes are learned by the VPN sites they are advertised to the route server, which selectively advertises the routes to other VPN sites depending on the per-site preferences. When a VPN site needs routing information to communicate with another VPN site, the network element will check its routing table for the route, and if the route is not available, will obtain the route on-demand from the route server.

A network includes a plurality of endpoint routers and intermediate routers. When a new data stream is detected at any endpoint router, the first packet is sent to a virtual routing server with knowledge of the entire network topology. Based on the topology, current usage, and historical usage, the virtual routing server determined a path for the data stream and begins to update the routing tables of the intermediate routers to reflect the determined path. Until the update is complete, all packets in the data stream are routed first to the virtual routing server and then to their destination. Once the update is complete, packets in the data stream are routed directly along the determined path.
