A system for selectively applying a service to a packet in a network. In a specific embodiment, the system includes a mechanism for encoding service information in a network-compatible packet header and providing encoded data in response thereto. In a more specific embodiment, the network-compatible header includes a Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) header, a Generic Route Encapsulation (GRE) header, and/or a Layer-2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) header.

A system and method for transmitting packet data to a hybrid mobile terminal upon inter-system handoff is provided. The terminal communicates with High Rate Pack Data (HRPD) and voice mobile networks. A Packet Control Function (PCF) system converts received data for transmission to the terminal into Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) packet data, stores the GRE packet data combined with a GRE packet key in an active queue, transmits it to an access network, and stores packet data stored in the active queue in a dormant queue when receiving a link release message from the access network. The access network converts GRE packet data received from the PCF system into an Radio Link Protocol Data (RLP) packet, stores it in combination with a GRE packet sequence number, and transmits it to the terminal. When detecting air link loss with the terminal, the access network creates and transmits a link release message including a GRE packet sequence number that has not been transmitted to the terminal.

A cloud security service is made available to endpoint computers. Network traffic from originating application programs running on endpoint computers are redirected to the cloud security service based on characteristics of the originating application programs. Network traffic from an originating application program may be redirected to the cloud security service by way of a virtual private network (VPN) tunnel or generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnel between an endpoint computer and a cloud computing system hosting the cloud security service, for example. Network traffic from an originating application program may also be routed from an endpoint computer to a gateway system, and then redirected from the gateway system to the cloud computing system. The cloud security service may drop or forward network packets of the network traffic depending on a result of scanning the network packets.

The invention discloses a message processing method, related equipment and computer readable storage medium. The method comprises the steps that: a first switch searches a table item of a first service flow corresponding to a data message in a flow table; the table item corresponding to the first service flow at least comprises generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnel information of the first service flow and flow label information for identifying the first service flow; the searched table item is used, and the data message is encapsulated into a GRE message; and the GRE message is forwarded to a quality of service (QoS) port queue corresponding to the first service flow so as to emit the GRE message, wherein the GRE message at least carries the flow label information.

In a network that supports mobility of a mobile node, a tunnel between a first mobility node and a second mobility node is established in the network. The established tunnel is according to a tunneling protocol (e.g., Generic Routing Encapsulation tunneling protocol) that uses at least one key (208) for encapsulating data communicated through the tunnel. The symmetric or asymmetric key may be used for identifying a particular traffic flow in either the forward or the reverse direction between mobility nodes, e.g., when supporting mobility nodes that are using overlapping private IPv4 addressing. Signaling is communicated to provide mobility support of the mobile node according to a mobility protocol, where the mobility protocol is selected from among a Proxy Mobile Internet Protocol and Mobile IP version 6.

The invention discloses a remote port mirroring realization system and a method, which are applied to the field of data communication. The remote port mirroring realization system comprises a source switch mirroring unit, an intermediate switch data transmission unit and a destination switch port mirroring unit, wherein the source switch mirroring unit processes monitoring message through a reflection port and a reflection port strategy and forwards the processed monitoring message to an intermediate switch; the intermediate switch data transmission unit is responsible for transmitting the monitoring message which is transmitted to the intermediate switch from a mirroring source switch through a generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnel to a mirroring destination switch; and the destination switch port mirroring unit is used for completing local port mirroring from a GRE tunnel incoming port to a mirroring destination port. Compared with the prior art, the remote port imaging can be realized without requiring a mirroring function from a switch chip support port to a GRE tunnel interface and convenience is brought to the analysis of messages which cross the remote switch of a three-layer network.

The present invention provides a method for distributing Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) content over a national IP backbone using GRE tunneling in a point-to-point ring topology. A logical path is defined that connects multiple hub offices, each including at least two routers, in a ring network topology. Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels are used over an existing Internet Protocol (IP) backbone to establish connectivity between adjacent hub offices. A direction for content flow is defined. The direction of flow may be determined by selecting a designated router. The routers of the hub offices selectively join to upstream routers. This direction may be reversed by changing the direction of in which routers join. IPTV content is distributed over the defined path using the GRE tunnels. The necessity of forwarding the content is determined at each hub office.

The invention discloses a message sending method and device. The method comprises the following steps: a GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) tunnel is set between a terminal and a CGN (Code Generation Network) through a PPTP (Point To Point Tunneling Protocol) message interaction process; the terminal receives a public network address distributed by a PPTP server module on the CGN or the public network address and a port range thereof; and the terminal uses the public network address or the public network address and the port range thereof to send a follow-up message to the CGN through the GRE tunnel. The public network address or the public network address and the port range thereof are directly distributed to the terminal, therefore network address translation on network equipment can be avoided, the network speed is increased, and the network quality is also increased.

The invention discloses a method and equipment for establishing a dynamic GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) tunnel. In the method, an active initiating party dynamically obtains a first interface of an IP address and transmits a dynamic GRE tunnel inquiry message carrying a source IP address to a passive receiving party; the passive receiving party authenticates the dynamic GRE tunnel inquiry message and an inquiry response message is transmitted to the active initiating party by the source IP address after the dynamic GRE tunnel inquiry message passes the authentication; the active initiating party transmits a dynamic GRE tunnel UP announcement carrying the source IP address to the passive receiving party by the first interface; and the passive receiving party authenticates the dynamicGRE tunnel UP announcement, an UP announcement response message is transmitted to the active initiating party by the source IP address after the dynamic GRE tunnel UP announcement passes the authentication, and the dynamic GRE tunnel between the first interface and a second interface is established. The invention realizes the establishment of the dynamic GRE tunnel by dynamically obtaining the interfaces of the IP address and the backup of the dynamic GRE tunnel.

The invention discloses a message transmission method and a device. The method includes that an edge bridge device receives a first message packaged by generic routing encapsulation (GRE) from a gateway device.

After the MAC address corresponding to the objective IP address of the third message is ensured, the message is sent. The message transmission method and the device can normally transmit messages to be sent among different terminal devices.
