A method and network subsystem for providing on demand end to end Quality of Service (Qos) in a dynamic manner, use a combination of Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), load control protocol (and its successors) and Bandwidth Brokers (BBs)(1106) which communicate using a predetermined protocol. The predetermined protocol may be one of Common Open Policy Service Protocol (COPS) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for direct communication by the BBs (1106). The network subsystem might also include differentiated services architecture (Diffserv)(1109) which might comprise a Diffserv domain (1309, 1409) including Border Routers (BRs)(1112) and Core Routers (CRs). The BBs (1106) may obtain resource availability information by communicating only with the BRs (1112) to the exclusion of CRs. The BBs (1106) may optionally have the capability of using an RSVP aggregation protocol and may have the ability to store and manage RSVP aggregation status. The method and network subsystem may additionally use Integrated Service Architecture (Intserv)(1108) which will enable achieving interoperability between Intserv and Diffserv through the use of an edge router (1103, 1104) on a bandwidth broker aggregator (1105).
摘要:
In a system and method for handing off a mobile node in a seamless manner in a wireless access network, procedures are implemented for allowing the mobile node to synchronize the handoff with a base node (e.g., a home agent) and a correspondent node. In this way, a seamless handoff may be achieved, since few or no data packets sent between the base node or the correspondent node and the mobile node are lost. The procedures are supported by both Mobile IPv4 and Mobile IPv6 as well as Hierarchical Mobile IPv4 and Hierarchical Mobile IPv6.
摘要:
A method and a computer program for reducing jitter in IP packet transmission in a Diffserv network having ingress (404) and egress Border Routers (405) and using premium service, expedited forwarding and source route option, recognize incoming packets which have firm jitter requirements (Step A1a). The program verifies if a recognized packet has an entry in the forwarding cache for its IP destination address (Step A1B). If affirmative, the identified packet is sent to the next hop. If not, the program checks to see if a route table entry exists for the specified destination address. If affirmative, the route table entry is stored in the forwarding cache, and the packet is sent on its way. Otherwise, the program uses special filters to extract and select the shortest and fastest path to an egress border router (405) to match the destination address (Step A1c); a list of selected router addresses is inserted as part of a source route option (Step A2). All intermediate routers receiving a packet with the strict source route option set will forward the packet to the first address in the strict source option list (Step A3). Subsequent packets which follow after the recognized packet and are bound to the same destination address will be sent in the same path as the identified first packet with the source route option turn off (Step A4). The method ensures reduced jitter for packets having firm jitter requirements in a network using either static or dynamic routing. The invention also teaches a memory and an algorithm using the method.
