Logical node identification in an information transmission network
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a processor; and
memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to;
transmit, to a remote device via a logical node and via a data stream associated with a session control manager, a logical identifier that uniquely identifies the logical node as the logical node corresponding to the remote device; and
transmit a program to the remote device via the logical node in response to receiving a message comprising the logical identifier from the remote device.

Abstract
A system for generating and sending a Logical Node identification signal as part of a data stream is disclosed. The system also includes subscriber stations capable of receiving and extracting Logical Node identification information from a data stream. The subscriber stations create new messages including the Logical Node identification signal and send the message to the transmission network system control, such that switching of data streams to an appropriate channel over the information transmission network is done consistent with the network topology.

7. A method comprising:
-
sending a logical node identifier to a remote device via a data stream associated with a session control manager, wherein the logical node identifier identifies a correspondence between the remote device and the session control manager; responsive to a program request from the remote device, sending, by a computing device, packet identification information indicative of the requested program to the remote device; receiving the logical node identifier from the remote device; and sending the requested program for receipt by the remote device based on the logical node identifier. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)
