A video quality monitoring method includes a distribution server measuring first video quality index values according to a full-reference method by comparing a video, distributed from the distribution server to a client through a network, with a degraded video, generated by causing multiple scenarios of quality degradation due to the network in the video in a pseudo manner, creating characteristic data of first quality degradation values, obtained by causing the quality degradation to vary with the scenarios at regular intervals, and the first video quality index values corresponding to the respective scenarios, and transmitting the characteristic data to the client; and the client measuring a second quality degradation value in the video distributed through the network, and calculating a second video quality index value, equivalent to a value according to the full-reference method, of the distributed video from the measured second quality degradation value and the characteristic data.
摘要:
In an ATM switching system, an ABR service is implemented with a specific ABR control capability. A subscriber line processing device includes calculating a turnaround delay time of a cell, based on a period during which the cell doubles back at a terminal. A switch or a demultiplexer capable of detecting congestion. A rate calculator calculates a transmission rate corresponding to an output channel, and writes the calculated rate to the cell. A rate changer changes the transmission rate according to congestion. The rate changer counts the number of communicating connections. Then the number of communicating connections which should exist in a certain predetermined period is estimated based on the counted number of communicating connections. A coefficient is determined based on the estimated number of communicating connections and an actual number of communicating connections, and a next estimated value is estimated using the coefficient.
摘要:
Specific ABR control capability for implementing an ABR service in an ATM switching system. A subscriber line processing device has a capability for calculating a turnaround delay time of a cell, based on a period during which the cell loops back at a terminal and returns. A switch or demultiplexer has a capability for detecting congestion. A rate calculator calculates a transmission rate corresponding to an output channel, and writes the calculated rate to the cell. A rate changer suitably changes the transmission rate according to the degree of occurrence of congestion. Additionally, the rate changer counts the number of communicating connections. At this time, the number of communicating connections which should exist in a certain predetermined period is estimated based on the counted number of communicating connections, which is counted in a period shorter than the predetermined period according to a predetermined method. Additionally, a coefficient is determined based on the number of communicating connections so estimated and an actual number of communicating connections, and a next estimated value is estimated to be a more suitable value using the coefficient.

A feedback control apparatus whereby the traditional single control loop for available bit rate (ABR) connections is segmented into a plurality of loops that are handled in a mutually related manner for better responsiveness of ABR connection feedback control. Three control loops are illustratively formed: a closed upward feedback control loop between a source end system and a virtual destination-link unit (VD-L) for an ABR connection, a downward control loop between a destination end system and a virtual source-link unit (VS-L) for the ABR connection, and an intra-switch feedback control loop between an upstream virtual source-internal unit (VS-I) and a downstream virtual destination-internal unit (VD-I) for the ABR connection.
摘要:
A method of detecting a failure in a network, which includes a transport plane comprised of a plurality of communication nodes performing optical cross-connect and a control plane comprised of a plurality of control nodes that are connected to and control the respective communication nodes, includes the steps of transmitting, from a control node connected to a communication node having detected a failure to an adjacent control node, a failure information message having a time indication indicative of a time at which the failure is detected, and identifying, at a given control node which received the failure information message, a location of the failure in response to the time indication.
摘要:
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.
摘要:
A correct admission decision can be made even when not relying upon traffic characteristics declared by a user. With respect to each of established connections, traffic data are acquired and are stored. When a call request is issued, an admission decision is made using the traffic characteristics if the traffic characteristics are stored.

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.
