摘要:
A method for allocating and resizing a link on a communication medium is provided. The utilization of an allocated link is monitored and an unused bandwidth thereof is determined. Upon request for allocation of a second link, at least a portion of the unused bandwidth is included in the bandwidth of the second link allocated. A network including two nodes and a communication medium terminated thereby is operable to provide a plurality of communication links and is operable to resize the bandwidth of the allocated links is provided. The network is operable to monitor the utilization of an allocated bandwidth of an allocated link and deallocate a part of the allocated bandwidth that is non-utilized by the allocated link. The deallocated bandwidth, or a portion thereof, may then be included in a bandwidth allocation made for allocation of an additional link.

A method of reserving bandwidth in a network includes the steps of receiving a reservation request for a bandwidth for a hose having one ingress point and at least one egress point, and reserving the requested bandwidth for each link in the hose and assigning a reservation identifier to the hose.

The invention discloses a method for dynamically allocating link bandwidth on resilient packet ring. This algorithm comprises the steps of measuring a group of variables in one advertisement interval, calculating the local fair rate using the measured variables, determining an advertising rate based on the local fair rate, and transmitting the data packets with the advertising rate. Compared with existing fairness algorithms, the new algorithm introduces integration for the idle rate to achieve 100% of bandwidth utilization. It also avoids using the concept of “congestion state” which is essential in the existing fairness algorithm.
摘要:
A system, method, and computer-readable medium for IPv4 and IPv6 migration are provided. The invocation of NAPT-PT and NAPT are minimized inside a provider's network. NAPT-PT operations are invoked at most once inside the provider's network under all situations for a media path. Moreover, he minimum required NAPT operations are performed. If there is a required NAPT operation along the media path for IPv4 address realm mismatches, no NAPT-PT operation are performed solely for protocol conversion purposes.

A method is provided for providing protection for connectionless signals in a telecommunications network comprising a plurality of nodes. A first protection path is generated from each of the nodes to a destination node. A second protection path is generated from each of the nodes to the destination node. The second protection path is distinct from the first protection path. Protection traffic is routed along one of the protection paths to the destination node.
摘要:
A transport network includes a flexible topology for internally defining transport elements. The transport elements each include a port group having a plurality of geographically distributed ports from the transport network. Point-to-multipoint connectivity is defined between the ports in a port group. An identifier represents the port group as a single element to internal and/or external elements for protocol exchanges.
