Embodiment Construction

Overview

[0010]A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving packets for a communications flow from an end user that can conduct the flow through a wireless network and through a wireline network. A network element receives the packets if the flow is initiated in the wireless network and the wireline network and the network element provides Internet Protocol (IP) address assignment for the end user in both networks. The method also includes providing policy control for the end user at a network element that resolves admission control decisions for the flow for the end user in both the wireless network and the wireline network. In more specific embodiments, the method includes providing policy peering in both home and visited networks for the flow and providing access network information that indicates the type of access network being used by the end user. In still other embodiments, the network element is an edge gateway that is coupled to a packet data networ...

Abstract

A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving packets for a communications flow from an end user that can conduct the flow through a wireless network and through a wireline network. The method also includes providing policy control for the end user at a network element that receives packets and resolves admission control decisions for the flow for the end user in both the wireless network and the wireline network. The network element providing Internet Protocol (IP) address assignment for the end user in both networks. In more specific embodiments, the method includes providing policy peering in both home and visited networks for the flow, providing access network information that indicates the type of access network being used by the end user, and network address translation (NAT) control for the user.

Description

CLAIMING PRIORITY ON A PROVISIONAL[0001]This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 of provisional application Ser. No. 61 / 029,177, filed Feb. 15, 2008 and entitled System and Method for Providing Telecommunication and Internet Converged Services and Protocols for Advanced Networking.TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates in general to the field of communications and, more particularly, to providing a converged wireline and wireless network environment.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Networking architectures have grown increasingly complex in communications environments. In addition, the augmentation of clients or end users wishing to communicate in a network environment has caused many networking configurations and systems to respond by adding elements to accommodate the increase in networking traffic. As the subscriber base of end users increases, proper routing and efficient management of communication sessions and data flows become even more crit...
