    摘要: A protected communication network utilizes a link-based recovery strategy that supports independent recovery paths for individual demands, where each link includes one or more lines and each line can support one or more demands. Failure of one or more—or even all—of the lines/ports of a link will typically result in the independent rerouting of the affected demands along one or more link-detour paths. The flexibility afforded by recovery at the granularity of a demand supports the computation of more-optimal link-detour paths and a corresponding increase in sharing of network resources between disjoint failures. The network also addresses the restricted case where all demands on a line/port are recovered along the same link-detour path.

    摘要: An architecture for quality-of-service (QoS) management creates a logical circuit-switched network within a packet network to support QoS-sensitive demands levied on the network. This QoS-managed network can serve to interwork, e.g., a PSTN with VoIP networks. The architecture can include a connection resource manager (CRM), which oversees bandwidth availability and demand admission/rejection on dynamically provisioned virtual trunk groups (VTGs) within the packet network, and a transport bandwidth controller (TBC). The VTGs serve to transport QoS-sensitive demands across the packet network. The TBC serves the CRM by providing an interface to routers and/or OAM systems of the packet network to size VTGs to meet QoS requirements. Media switches located at the packet network borders serve to mux/demux the demands into/from VTGs. CRMs and TBCs can be implemented as centralized, distributed, or hierarchical, and flat and aggregated variants of the architecture are supported. VTGs can be implemented using MPLS LSPs, VPNs, or source-based routing.

    摘要: An AAL2/SSCS packet voice system multiplexes various forms of voice-band traffic including voice packets, fax packets, and data packets into a virtual circuit (VC). This AAL2/SSCS packet voice system executes a dynamic call admission algorithm that takes into account call type in deciding whether to admit a new call to the VC. In particular, this approach takes into account different bandwidth needs for different call types. The AAL2/SSCS packet voice system also performs bit or block dropping on voice packets to mitigate the effects of traffic congestion. The bit or block dropping is done based on the packet queue fill value exceeding at least one queue threshold. Further, the AAL2/SSCS packet voice system also dynamically varies a queue threshold as a function of capacity.

    摘要: A protected communication network utilizes a link-based recovery strategy that includes methods for calculating and distributing link-protection parameters and calculating primary and link-detour paths based on these parameters. These link-protection parameters support the computation of more-optimal link-detour paths and a corresponding increase in sharing of network resources between disjoint failures. A joint-optimization mechanism can be employed that considers both the cost of link-detour paths as well as the cost of links in candidate primary paths in the selection of a primary path for a demand. Information for the joint optimization is preferably distributed using link-state advertisements.

    摘要: Congestion across links in a network, such as the Internet, is reduced by diverting traffic from the congested link to alternative, shortest paths by adjusting splitting factors associated with the congested and alternative links. The alternative shortest paths comprise equal cost paths. Alternatively, adjustments occur after the creation of additional equal cost paths/shortest paths if none are initially available within the network. Unique programs control the adjustment of the splitting factors and the creation of the additional shortest paths. The programs make use of both existing, real networks and constructed, virtual networks in conjunction with novel traffic flow relationships to divert traffic from a congested link without causing further congestion within the network. Another unique program deletes shortest paths once used to accept traffic diverted from a congested link when traffic in the network decreases.
