摘要:
Method and system for adapting access to a packet switching network including a dynamic bandwidth adjustment mechanism which continuously monitors the mean bit rate of the signal source and the loss probability of the connection. These values are filtered to remove noise and then used to test whether the values fall within a pre-defined acceptable adaptation region in the mean bit rate, loss probability plane. Values falling outside of this region trigger bandwidth adaptation procedures which, in turn, result in acquiring a new connection bandwidth, and determining new parameters for the adaptation mechanism.
摘要:
Method of upgrading a program, used in a data processing device having a permanent memory, from a version n to a version n+1 wherein, at any time, both recent version and previous version of the program are stored in a first (10) and a second (14) locations of said memory. Each one of version n and version n+1 of the program is using respectively configuration data of format n and format n+1 when it is used as current version. The configuration data of format n are automatically stored into said memory when version n+1 of said program is stored into said second location of memory.
摘要:
Method and system for adapting access to a packet switching network including a dynamic bandwidth adjustment mechanism which continuously monitors the mean bit rate of the signal source and the loss probability of the connection. These values are filtered to remove noise and then used to test whether the values fall within a pre-defined acceptable adaptation region in the mean bit rate, loss probability plane. Values falling outside of this region trigger bandwidth adaptation procedures which, in turn, result in acquiring a new connection bandwidth, and determining new parameters for the adaptation mechanism. Furthermore, the mechanism controls the number of connections that can be adapted by a single processor, given its processing capability. It ensures fairness between the connections in the sense that it prevents a single connection to use, on the average, a unconsiderate portion of the processor capacity.
