    摘要: A method of automatically detecting the service level agreement settings in an Ethernet virtual circuit (EVC) carrying user packets comprises generating synthetic packets different from the user packets, on a data path in the EVC at a level sufficiently high to saturate the EVC. This accelerates the detection of actual effective values for the Committed Information Rate (CIR) and the Excess Information Rate (EIR) by triggering traffic shaping devices in the data path to enforce the CIR and EIR settings configured for those devices. A plurality of traffic samples are collected from the data path during a sampling period that is long enough to allow the collection of at least two valid traffic samples, where a valid traffic sample is the amount of user packets measured between two consecutive losses of synthetic packets. The CIR and EIR values enforced by the traffic shaping devices are determined from the collected samples.

    摘要: Techniques are provided for improve quality of service on uplinks in a virtualized environment. At a server apparatus having a plurality of physical links configured to communicate traffic over a network to or from the server apparatus, forming an uplink group comprising a plurality of physical links. A first class of service is defined that allocates a first share of available bandwidth on the uplink group, and a second class of service is defined that allocates a second share of available bandwidth on the uplink group. The bandwidth for the first class of service is allocated across the plurality of physical links of the uplink group, and the bandwidth for the second class of service is allocated across the plurality of physical links of the uplink group. Traffic rates are monitored on each of the plurality of physical links to determine if a physical link is congested indicating that a bandwidth deficit exists for a class of service. In response to determining that one of the plurality of physical links is congested, bandwidth is reallocated for a class of service to reduce the bandwidth deficit for a corresponding class of service.

    摘要: Various aspects of a method and system for low-latency networking are provided. Latency requirements of traffic to be communicated along a network path (112,110) comprising one or more Ethernet links (114) may be determined. A maximum size of Ethernet frames utilized for communicating the traffic may be determined based on the latency requirements. The maximum size of the Ethernet frames may be determined based on a data rate of one or more Ethernet links along the network path (112,110). A single device (102) may utilize different maximum packet sizes for different ports/links (114) on which it communicates. One or more messages indicating the determined maximum size may be communicated among devices (102) along the network path (112,110) to coordinate maximum packet sizes.

    摘要: A Provider Network Controller (PNC) addresses the challenges in building services across Next Generation Network (NGN) architectures and creates an abstraction layer as a bridge, or glue, between the network transport and applications running over it. The PNC is a multi-layer, multi-vendor dynamic control plane that implements service activation and Layer 0-2 management tools for multiple transport technologies including Carrier Ethernet, Provider Backbone Transport (PBT), Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS), Transport MPLS (T-MPLS), optical and integrated networking platforms. Decoupling transport controls and services from the network equipment simplifies service creation and provides options for carriers to choose best-in-class equipment that leverages the PNC to enable rapid creation and management of transports and services. The PNC provides Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) interfaces to abstract transport objects expressly designed to support both wholesale and retail services, and supports service offerings with varied bandwidth and Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, thus achieving enterprise Ethernet economics.
