摘要： Application program network service requests are translated into specific actions that are then performed through the management plane and/or control plane. The translations and resulting actions are responsive to previously defined policies for the communication network, and may further reflect processing of previous service requests by the same or another application program. The amount of resources available for use by a given application program may be predefined based on a globally defined network policy. Each service request obtained from an application program may be translated into multiple actions performed using various specific protocols and/or interfaces provided by either the management plane, the control plane, or both the management and control planes. Reports of network activity, status and/or faults for a requesting application program may be tailored to the requesting program's view of the network, and passed directly and exclusively to the requesting program.

摘要： A method and apparatus has been shown and described which allows Quality of Service to be controlled at a temporal granularity. Time-value curves, generated for each task, ensure that mission resources are utilized in a manner which optimizes mission performance. It should be noted, however, that although the present invention has shown and described the use of time-value curves as applied to mission workflow tasks, the present invention is not limited to this application; rather, it can be readily appreciated by one of skill in the art that time-value curves may be used to optimize the delivery of any resource to any consumer by taking into account the dynamic environment of the consumer and resource

摘要： A method and apparatus for facilitating the transportation of medical images on a communication network includes a medical image transport service (MITS) that may be used to set policy associated with the delivery of medical images on the network. The MITS may be configured to schedule transactions in an equitable manner taking into account the relative priority of the various contending medical image transactions and mediate delivery of images associated with the transactions. The MITS may include a data management service configured to interact with clients to handle transfers on the network, and a network resource manager configured to interface with network devices performing the transport services to enable network resources such as routes, paths, and bandwidth, to be reserved on the network. An administration client enables policy to be set on the MITS to enable operation of the transport service to be controlled.

摘要： A system and apparatus for dropping and adding optical data streams in an optical communication network uses a photonic switching fabric for dropping but not adding optical data streams, and uses a combiner external to this photonic switching fabric for combining passed optical data streams from the photonic switching fabric together with added optical data streams. The added optical data streams are not limited to the wavelengths of the dropped optical data streams. The photonic switching fabric may be a Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) that uses single-sided mirrors configurable to drop but not add optical data streams.

摘要： A method and apparatus for extracting information from a medical image data and transferring the extracted information in a separate format from the medical image data is disclosed. A network element is employed to monitor a network for medical image data transmitted on a network. The network element monitors the data packets on the data network to identify and retrieve the data packets containing medical image data. The medical image is reconstructed and the network element identifies and extracts desired information from within the medical image data. The network element then compresses the medical image data, and separately formats the extracted information from the medical image data. The medical image data and the extracted information are then transmitted to the image archive system via the network.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention present a method and apparatus for photonic line sharing for high-speed routers. Photonic switches receive high-speed optical data streams and produce the data streams to a router operating according to routing logic and produce optical data streams according to destination addresses stored in the data packets. Each photonic switch can be configured as one of a 1:N multiplexer or an M:N cross-connect switch. In one embodiment, optical data is converted to electrical data prior to routing, while an alternate embodiment routes only optical data. Another embodiment transfers large volumes of high-speed data through an optical bypass line in a circuit switched network to bypass the switch fabric thereby routing the data packets directly to the destination. An edge device selects one of the packet switched network or the circuit switched network. The bypass resources are released when the large volume of high-speed data is transferred.
