摘要:
A bandwidth monitoring device for use in a network for transferring priority packets in preference to non priority packets as far as the amount of the priority packets is within a contract bandwidth established between a network user and a network operator, comprising a bandwidth check result decision unit (520, 1320) for detecting whether the bandwidth of the priority packets is less than the contract bandwidth, and a DSCP decision unit (530) for determining that a non priority packet may be transferred as a priority packet when the bandwidth of the priority packets is less than the contract bandwidth thereby to sufficiently use the contract bandwidth.

A traffic shaper comprises a cell buffer for temporarily storing an ATM cell arrived thereat, a first calculator for calculating an estimated cell sending time according to a VC contracted bandwidth, a second calculator for calculating an estimated cell sending time according to a VP contracted bandwidth, a binary tree VP sorting circuit for determining VP to be sent in top priority, a binary tree VC sorting circuit for determining VC to be sent in top priority, and a sending circuit for sending a cell in which the determined VP and VC are both brought to a transmittable state. The VP estimated sending time is revised according to the VC estimated sending time.

A packet forwarding apparatus provided with a plurality of line interface units, comprises a routing processing unit for referring to a routing table, based on header information of received packet to specify one of output lines to output the received packet, a flow detection unit for referring to an entry table, in which a plurality of entries with flow conditions and control information are registered, to retrieve control information defined by the entry with a flow condition which coincides with that of the header information of the received packet, and a packet forwarding unit for transferring the received packet to one of the line interface units connected to the output line specified by the routing processing unit. The entry table id divided into a plurality of subtables corresponding to the values of flow attributes associated with the received packets and the flow detection unit retrieves the control information from one of said subtables specified by the value of the flow attribute corresponding to the received packet.

In a high speed multicast route searching method of searching information of a transmission port to which a received multicast packet is next transferred: a route address is formed by coupling a receiver address and a sender address in this order; one p-th power-of-2-branch tree node is configured by a collection of one two-branch tree node and two-branch tree nodes of p-1 stages totalling ((p-th power of 2) - 1) nodes just under the one two-branch tree node to form a p-th power-of-2-branch tree which is stored in a memory (300); not one bit but consecutive p bits of the route address coupling the receiver address and sender address in a received multicast packet in this order are checked at the same time; and in accordance with the values of the consecutive bits, a search tree stored in the memory (300) is searched. In this manner, a search process can be completed by tracing nodes (the number of bits of a search key divided by p) times at a maximum, independently from the number of entries.

An ATM switch having a packet level discard function includes an upstream congestion detection circuit (127) for detecting a congestion state of an ATM switch provided in the upstream and a packet level discard control table (129) for holding at every connection a packet level discard priority (703-2j) indicating whether the ATM switch provided in the upstream has the packet level discard function or not, and wherein cells transmitted via an ATM switch not having a packet level discard function or an ATM switch which is not in the congestion state are packet-level-discarded with a priority to other cells. Thus, it is possible to improve a goodput of the ATM network in which ATM switches having a packet level discard function and ATM switches not having a packet level discard function are provided in a mixed state.

A cache memory (26) is contained in a processor (1) which features a high efficiency in spite of its small capacity. In the cache memory control circuit of the invention, it is detected whether the access operation of the processor is directed to a particular region of the memory, and when the data is to be read out from, or is to be written onto, the particular region, the data is copied onto the cache memory (26) and when the data is to be read out from other regions, operation of the memory is executed immediately without waiting for the reference of cache memory. By assigning the particular region for the data that are to be used repeatedly, it is possible to obtain a cache memory (26) having good efficiency in spite of its small capacity. A representative example of such data is the data in a stack.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a router for transmitting a packet and a corresponding network system, wherein said router has plural modes to be applied to input packets. The plural modes include a first mode which is a mode that decides priority of the packet by at least one of the address information and the application information, and a third mode which is a mode that decides to rewrite the DS value by at least one of the address information and the application information. A control unit (112) of the router switches a mode to be applied to an input packet among the plural modes based on the packet header information of the input packet.
