摘要:
A hierarchical traffic management system and method (i.e., a QoS behavioral model) are disclosed herein. The system includes a classifier operable to identify and classify incoming traffic streams and a queuing system. The queuing system includes a plurality of queues and is operable to apply scheduling policies to the traffic streams. The queues of the queuing system each include enqueue attributes configured to control a depth of the queue and dequeue attributes configured to control scheduling of the queue. The dequeue attributes include minimum bandwidth, maximum bandwidth, excess bandwidth, and priority, wherein each of the queues has one or more of the dequeue attributes defined.

A communication system includes multiple routers interconnected by a packet-based communication network. Each of the routers includes a monitoring application that monitors quality of one or more packet flows during each of multiple successive monitoring periods. For each of the packet flows, the monitoring application determines quality metrics based on information obtained from transport headers of packets.
摘要:
Disclosed are, inter alia, methods, apparatus, computer-readable media, mechanisms, and means for instrumenting real-time customer packet traffic. These measured delays can be used to determine whether or not the performance of a packet switching device and/or network meets desired levels, especially for complying with a Service Level Agreement.

One or more sets of routing information are maintained. A network topology change indication of a progressive series of network changes is received, with at least one more associated network topology change indication of the progressive series of network changes expected to be received in the future. An updated set of routing information is computed based on the network topology change indication, and a determination is made as to whether or not the updated set of routing information changes nexthop information for one or more routes. In response to determining that the new set of routing information does not change nexthop information for said one or more routes and given the expectation of at least one more associated network topology change indication of the progressive series of network changes is expected to be received in the future, the routing information is not updated based on the updated set of routing information.
摘要:
A method and system for failure notification at a remote node in communication with a local node are disclosed. The local node is configured for faster failure detection than the remote node. In one embodiment, the method includes establishing a failure monitoring session between the local node and the remote node, receiving at the remote node, a failure notification from the local node, the failure notification sent using a protocol of the failure monitoring session, and rerouting traffic at the remote node in response to the failure notification.
摘要:
In one embodiment, an apparatus and method are described for constructing a repair path in the event of non-availability of a routing domain component of a routing domain comprising, as components, links and nodes. The apparatus is arranged to receive respective network repair addresses from each of the far-side and near-side advertising node for use in the event of non-availability of a routing domain component between the advertising node. The apparatus is further arranged to advertise the near-side advertising node network repair address to one or more far-side nodes via a path external to the routing domain.
摘要:
A method of implementing a backup path in an autonomous system (AS) for failure of an inter-AS link is described. The method comprises forwarding data elements destined for the failed link via a backup path and including a loop prevention attribute in the packet.
摘要:
A method of constructing a backup path in an autonomous system (AS) for failure of an inter-AS link is described. The method comprises identifying an alternate inter-AS path and constructing a tunnel to an end point on the alternate path.
摘要:
A method of constructing a backup path in an autonomous system (AS) for failure of a first inter-AS link serving a first set of prefixes is described. The method comprises identifying an alternate inter-AS link serving said plurality of prefixes and constructing a tunnel thereto.
摘要:
A method is disclosed for constructing a backup route from a source node around an adjacent component. The source node derives a first set of nodes reachable from it without traversing the adjacent component and a second set of nodes from which a neighbor node of adjacent components is reachable without traversing the adjacent component. The source node then constructs a backup route via an intermediate node in the intersection of the first and second sets.
