Capacity design of an optical network for demands of fast path restorable (FPR) connections forms a linear programming sizing problem for a optimal routing. A dual of the linear programming sizing problem is formed and solved with an approximation algorithm. Edge lengths are initialized based on i) the inverse of the edge's capacity and ii) a scalar constant. Then, the approximation algorithm proceeds in phases to route each commodity over the edges of a graph. During each phase, the demand's flow is sent from the source to destination via multiple iterations. During each iteration, the set of shortest disjoint paths from the source to the destination is determined, a portion of the flow is sent, and the lengths of the edges that carry the flow are updated. The value employed to scale the network is generated after the last phase from the maximum ratio of edge flow to edge capacity.

Apparatus and methods are provided for photonic contention resolution in a switch including a plurality of input modules and a plurality of output modules, wherein at least two of the plurality of input modules have cells to be transmitted to a destination output module. The photonic contention resolution device includes a plurality of coherent light sources for emitting a beam of coherent light and a plurality of tunable receivers. Each of the coherent light sources and tunable receivers are tunable by an associated input module to a plurality of distinct wavelengths. Each tunable laser preferably illuminates at least one of the plurality of tunable receivers at the particular wavelength associated with the destination output module such that one of the at least two input modules transmits its cell to the destination output module if none of the plurality of coherent light sources is illuminating its associated tunable receiver at the particular wavelength.

A scheduler for a packet switch capable of atomic multicasts, that is, allowing one packet at an input port to be simultaneously transmitted to multiple output ports. The scheduling algorithm sequentially polls each of the input ports to determine to which output ports it desires connection for the next transmission slot. If those output ports are available, that input port assigns itself to the slot, and subsequent input ports are blocked from those output ports. The scheduling algorithm does not poll these blocked input ports for the current slot. The scheduler can be advantageously implemented in an optical system having one optical path for indexing control and multiple optical paths corresponding to each of the output ports. Sub-schedulers are arranged serially along all the optical paths. When a sub-scheduler is notified by the indexing control path that its turn to assign has arrived, it checks all of the optical paths corresponding to the output ports to which it desires connection. If those output ports are available, it assigns itself to the current slot, indicates on the output port optical paths that those desired output ports are no longer available, and indicates on the indexing control path that its assigning turn is over. If those output ports are not available, it nonetheless indicates on the indexing control path that its assigning turn is over and waits till the next assigning period.

This disclosure generally discloses an anchor mobility mechanism. The anchor mobility mechanism is configured to support migration of flows between mobility anchors within a wireless communication system. The anchor mobility mechanism may be configured to support migration of flows between mobility anchors within a wireless communication system in a highly seamless manner. The anchor mobility mechanism may be configured to support migration of a flow of a wireless device between mobility anchors within a wireless communication system using functions performed by a control element (CE) and one or more forwarding elements (FEs) within the data plane of the flow of the wireless device. The functions may include identifying a time at which to initiate migration of the flow, initiating migration of the flow based on identification of the time at which to initiate migration of the flow, or the like, as well as various combinations thereof.

A manner of providing redundancy protection for a data center network that is both reliable and low-cost. In a data center network where the data traffic between numerous access nodes and a network core layer via primary aggregation nodes, an optical network device such as and OLT (optical line terminal) is provided as a backup aggregation node for one or more of the primary aggregation nodes. When a communication path through a primary aggregation node fails, traffic is routed through the optical network device. In a preferred embodiment, a communication link is formed from a plurality of access nodes to a single port of the OLT or other optical network device via an optical splitter that combines upstream transmissions and distributes downstream transmissions. The upstream transmissions from the plurality of access nodes may occur according to an allocation schedule generated when the backup aggregation node is needed.

A capability is provided for representing a set of data values using data structures, including converting a binary trie data structure representing the set of data values to a shape graph data structure representing the set of data values. The shape graph data structure is generated from the binary trie data structure based on the shapes of the sub-trees rooted at the nodes of the binary trie data structure. The shape graph includes vertices representing shapes of the sub-trees of the binary trie data structure. A shape graph data structure permits operations similar to the operations that may be performed on the binary trie data structure for performing lookups for data values from the set of data values, while at the same time reducing the structural redundancy of the binary trie data structure such that the shape graph data structure provides significant improvements in memory usage over the binary trie data structure.

Various embodiments provide a method and apparatus of providing a load balancing configuration that adapts to the overall load and scales the power consumption with the load to improve energy efficiency and scalability. The energy efficient distributed and elastic load balancing architecture includes a collection of multi-tiered servers organized as a tree structure. The handling of incoming service requests is distributed amongst a number of the servers. Each server in the virtual load distribution tree accepts handles incoming service requests based on its own load. Once a predetermined loading on the receiving server has been reached, the receiving server passes the incoming requests to one or more of its children servers.

A distribution and scheduling system for advertisements that targets ads to users and maximizes service-provider revenue without having full knowledge of user-profile information. Each user device stores a user profile and is pre-loaded with a set of ads that could possibly be shown during a timeslot. Each user device selects and displays an ad based on the user profile but does not identify the selected ad to the service provider. Instead, the user devices provide perturbed user-profile information in the form of Boolean vectors, which the service provider uses in conjunction with a guaranteed-approximation online algorithm to estimate the number of users that saw a particular ad. Thus, the service provider can charge advertisers for the number of times their ads are viewed, without knowing the users' profiles or which ads were viewed by individual users, and users can view the targeted ads while maintaining privacy from the service provider.

A variable-stride multi-pattern matching apparatus segments patterns and input streams into variable-size blocks according to a modified winnowing algorithm. The variable-stride pattern segments are used to determine the block-symbol alphabet for a variable-stride discrete finite automaton (VS-DFA) that is used for detecting the patterns in the input streams. Applications include network-intrusion detection and protection systems, genome matching, and forensics. The modification of the winnowing algorithm includes using special hash values to determine the position of delimiters of the patterns and input streams. The delimiters mark the beginnings and ends of the segments. In various embodiments, the patterns are segmented into head, core, and tail blocks. The approach provides for memory, memory-bandwidth, and processor-cycle efficient, deterministic, high-speed, line-rate pattern matching.
