A network element is provided, configured to operate in an IP-based communication network and to manage resources in that communication network which are being utilized by a software application. The management of these resources is carried out by the network element (e.g. a router) through affecting changes in these resources in response to obtaining information retrieved from an application program interface (API) associated with the software application, such as for example, values of key performance indicators (KPIs) associated with the software application.

Network aware element and a method for using same

A parallel-processing computer system is provided for parallel processing of data packets conveyed in a communication network. The system comprises: a memory; a plurality of processing elements; and a program stored at the memory for execution by the plurality of processing elements. The at least one program comprises instructions for: receiving one or more data packets comprising operational instructions from an application; establishing a pipeline element for carrying out a service process, which comprises a plurality of sub-pipelines, each associated with a respective task required for carrying out the service process and wherein each of the plurality of processing elements is operative for carrying out tasks associated with a respective sub-pipeline belonging to the plurality of sub-pipelines; and executing simultaneously by the plurality of processing elements, tasks associated with the plurality of sub-pipelines, wherein the plurality of processing elements is implementing a parallel processing of each data packet.

Parallel information processing on multi-core computing platforms

A sub-system is described which is operative to be used as a virtual Provider Edge (v PE) cluster of an SDN communication system. The sub-system comprises a plurality of network elements, wherein the v PE cluster further comprises one or more virtual routing engines for routing traffic to/from the plurality of network elements, the one or more virtual routing engines are configured to communicate with a managing entity and with a plurality of virtual forwarding engines, and wherein the managing entity is configured to manage operation of the one or more virtual routing engines and the plurality of virtual forwarding engines. According to another aspect, the sub-system comprises a plurality of network elements and a managing entity, wherein the network elements having each one or more ports to convey traffic therethrough, and wherein at least one of the ports associated with the sub-system is configured to serve a plurality of customers.

Virtual provider edge cluster for use in an SDN architecture

An SDN communication system comprising a plurality of White Boxes and a plurality of servers, characterized in that all traffic to/from a plurality of mobile elements, to/from a plurality of broadband communication elements and to/from enterprises, is forwarded after it has been re-arranged based on pre-defined criteria via a single unified cloud, and wherein the unified cloud extends from a plurality of users to a core network, covering a Last Mile network, a Metro network and an Edge network.
