摘要:
The present invention is designed such that the communication quality of a currently connected normal call is deteriorated and the transmission of the normal call is delayed in a network when an emergent call is set. As a result, the required bandwidth of the emergent call is successfully reserved. Furthermore, the present invention is designed such that a deteriorated normal call is detoured to a detour circuit to improve the communication quality of the normal call. In the detouring process, one or more detour circuits are managed for each normal call so that the possibility of a successful detour to a detour circuit can be raised. Additionally, in the normal call detouring process, a plurality of detour circuits guarantee a normal call its communication quality even if a single detour circuit is not enough to meet the required bandwidth of a normal call.

A transmission apparatus which can enhance the transmission quality and reliability by establishing a recovery-path efficiently at a high speed for failure circumvention. A recovery-path request message control block generates, sends, and receives a recovery-path request message containing failure location information and recovery-path setup information. A label assignment message control block generates, sends, and receives a label assignment message. A setup label information generation block generates setup label information. A recovery-path label table management block constructs and manages a recovery-path label table. A failure detection block detects the location of a failure. A failure notification message transfer block transfers a failure notification message containing failure location information. A recovery-path establishment block establishes a recovery-path by comparing failure location information contained in a failure notification message and failure location information contained in a recovery-path label table and by selecting setup label information corresponding to matching failure location information.

In a first UPC, a PCR is set as a monitor rate for each connection. If a transfer rate of a cell exceeds the PCR set for the connection, the cell is discarded. In a second UPC, an ACR is set as a monitor rate for each connection. If the transfer rate of the cell exceeds the ACR set for the connection, a lower priority is assigned to that cell. Additionally, with a configuration where one UPC monitors a varying rate, a parameter change process is controlled by obtaining a time between a passage time of a detected B-RM cell and an arrival of a user cell and comparing the obtained time with maximum and minimum delay standard values. A parameter table including some parameters is provided. A header of an arrived cell in a forward direction is extracted, and it is determined whether or not the arrived cell is a violation cell using the leaky bucket algorithm, etc. If the arrived cell is a violation cell, it is discarded. An RM cell in a backward direction is received and extracted, and the parameter table is updated by calculating the minimum cell interval, etc. based on data included in a payload of the RM cell.

In an ATM switching system responsive to a call setup request from each of B-ISDN terminals, a band for an accepted call is estimated in accordance with fuzzy decision on the basis of the fact that the network traffic characteristics can be determined empirically. Therefore, it is possible to estimate the band without any complicated band estimation calculations, improve the call acceptance processing response speed, and further improve the availability efficiency of the network transmission line. In the consequents of the fuzzy rules in particular, the respective band estimation values are represented by the respective input functions, or particularly by the linear couplings coupled by predetermined linear parameters of respective Inputs, thus improving the descriptive capacity of the rules.

An ATM connection is a virtual communication path specified by VPI/VCI. A plurality of ATM connections that are directed to the same output line is defined as an ATM connection group. A connection UPC (Usage Parameter Control) facility is provided for each of the ATM connections and a connection group UPC facility is provided for the ATM connection group. The connection UPC facilities and the connection group UPC facility are operated in either the monitor mode or the control mode. In the monitor mode, when the rate of flow of packets into a network exceeds a threshold, a control unit is informed of it, but cells are allowed to enter the network as they are. In the control mode, when the rate of flow of cells into the network exceeds the threshold, cells the flow rate of which exceeds the threshold are discarded.

摘要:
For both a bandwidth-guaranteed connection call and a non-bandwidth-guaranteed connection call together, with respect to the bandwidth-guaranteed connection call, a schedular allocates the number of time slots which correspond to a required bandwidth to the bandwidth-guaranteed connection call from among the N time slots that constitute one period and so controls as to transmit an ATM cell at an allocated time slot. The non-bandwidth-guaranteed call transmitting unit transmits an ATM cell of a non-bandwidth-guaranteed connection call at a time slot which is not allocated to any bandwidth-guaranteed connection call. A congestion/normal state monitoring unit sets in advance a queue length which is regarded as the occurrence of a long-term congestion in a queuing buffer and compares the actual queue length with the preset queue length so as to detect the occurrence of a long-term congestion.

A cell buffer is provided for storage of cells for each quality class. A counter is provided for each cell buffer. A threshold value which regulates the respective readout interval is set for each quality class. The count of the counter for each quality class is increased by 1 for each time slot. When the count for a certain quality class reaches the threshold value, if a cell is stored in the cell buffer for that quality class, that cell is read out and output, and, at the same time, the count is decreased by the threshold value. When the count for a certain quality class reaches the threshold value, if a cell is not stored in the cell buffer for that quality class, the count is left unchanged.
摘要:
An ATM including both a bandwidth-guaranteed connection call and a non-bandwidth-guaranteed connection call together, with respect to the bandwidth-guaranteed connection call, a scheduler 21 allocates the number of time slots which correspond to a required bandwidth to the bandwidth-guaranteed connection call from among the N time slots which constitute one period and so controls as to transmit an ATM cell at an allocated time slot. A non-bandwidth-guaranteed cell transmitting element 31 transmits an ATM cell of a non-bandwidth-guaranteed connection call at a time slot which is not allocated at any bandwidth-guaranteed connection call. A congestion/normal state monitoring element 121 sets in advance a queue length which is regarded as the occurrence of a long-term congestion in a queuing buffer 111, and compares the actual queue length with the preset queue length so as to detect the occurrence of a long-term congestion.
