Abstract: A functionality and method for determining aggregate data transit bandwidth requirements for the nodes of an Ethernet ring network for traffic management and to improve the operation, efficiency, and Quality of Service. An aggregate bandwidth database is produced, based on a priori knowledge of the ring network, including topology, path utilization, bandwidth sharing, and failure protection scenarios. Aggregate bandwidth requirements are determined independent of the actual real-time data traffic rates, and without requiring any actual real-time data traffic rate information. Aggregate bandwidth is automatically determined upon configuration or reconfiguration of the ring network.

Abstract: Network resources are assigned as dedicated, shared, or public network resources. The resources are then allocated to L1-VPN subscribers on demand. Splitting assignment of the resources from allocation of the resources enables resources to be assigned to more than one subscriber on the network. Temporary physical dedication of the resources to one of the subscribers may be accomplished by allocating the assigned resources on demand, so that particular subscribers are provided with dedicated resources on an as-needed basis. Dedication of the network resources allows the network resources to be configured, managed, and controlled by the customers. The network resources may be optical resources and the links may be time slots on particular fibers. Optionally, by enabling prioritization to cause displacement of link allocations, additional flexibility may be obtained in allocating links to L1-VPNs such as by allowing the use of private and shared resources by other subscribers.

Abstract translation: 网络资源被分配为专用，共享或公共网络资源。 然后根据需要将资源分配给L1-VPN用户。 从资源分配中分配资源的分配使得能够将资源分配给网络上的多个订户。 可以通过按需分配分配的资源来实现对一个用户的资源的临时物理奉献，使得特定订户在根据需要的基础上提供专用资源。 网络资源的奉献使网络资源得到客户的配置，管理和控制。 网络资源可以是光资源，链路可以是特定光纤上的时隙。 可选地，通过使优先级排序导致链路分配的位移，可以在分配到L1-VPN的链路时获得额外的灵活性，例如通过允许其他订户使用私有和共享资源。

Abstract: Various embodiments provide a two-way interface between a URC driver (URCD) and various Protocol Adaption Layer (PAL) drivers. The two-way interface can enable bandwidth to be shared and managed among multiple different PALs. The two-way interface can also be used to implement common radio functionality such as beaconing, channel selection, and address conflict resolution. In at least some embodiments, the two-way interface can be utilized for power management to place PALs in lower power states to conserve power and to support remote wake-up functionality. Further, at least some embodiments can enable vendor-specific PALs to interact with vendor-specific hardware.

Abstract: A logical quality-of-service management method for peer-to-peer networks uses a special group service for QoS management within peer-groups. This group service determines and assigns a budget per time unit for each peer. Such time unit may be in the range of milliseconds or few seconds. It may also determine a group budget for the peer-group. While a peer uses bandwidth, i.e. while it sends or receives data, its budget is decreased. When a peer has exhausted its budget, it has to lower its priority for transferring or receiving data. Each peer is responsible for keeping its own budget. If a peer does not keep the conditions, other peers may have the right to deny the data transfer from that peer. The QoS service function is advertised in peer-group advertisement messages.

Abstract translation: 对等网络的逻辑服务质量管理方法使用特殊的组服务进行对等组中的QoS管理。 该组服务确定并为每个对等体分配每个时间单位的预算。 这种时间单位可以在毫秒或几秒的范围内。 它还可以确定对等组的组预算。 虽然对等体使用带宽，即在发送或接收数据时，其预算减少。 当同行用尽预算时，必须降低转移或接收数据的优先级。 每个同行负责保留自己的预算。 如果对等体不能保持条件，其他对等体可能有权拒绝该对等体的数据传输。 QoS服务功能在对等组广告消息中发布。

Abstract: A supervisory communications node monitors and controls communications with a plurality of remote devices throughout a widely distributed network. A method is provided to convey and maintain information used to synchronize the packetization and burst operations within the network. During session setup, jitter constraints indirectly are used to explicitly communicate a synchronization timing reference. The timing reference is set at the beginning of a phase/period boundary used to service the session. In an embodiment, the announcement of the first grant is used as an explicit indication of the synchronization timing reference value. In another embodiment, the synchronization timing reference value is inferred if a remote device receives contiguous voice grants meeting certain conditions. In an embodiment implementing periodic scheduling, the actual arrival of the first grant is used to infer the synchronization timing reference value. In an embodiment, the present invention enables the synchronization timing reference value and/or the periodicity to be modified if network conditions indicate that packetization and burst operations are out-of-synchronization.

Abstract: Proper allocation of network bandwidth is a crucial issue in rendering certain performance guarantees to meet the growing customer demands. Hence, allocation methodologies must explicitly be carried out for these guarantees to be given as efficiently as possible since the shared resources are limited. This invention presents methods and systems for Dynamic Bandwidth Management (DBM) and Quality of Service (QoS) in packet-based networks. DBM is an algorithm that dynamically adjusts the resource allocation in the IP Access Networks based upon measured QoS at the IP Core Network through an implementation of a Feedback Control Mechanism to manage available core transport bandwidth. Such a Feedback Control Mechanism is capable of maintaining a condition of non-congestion, a sufficient and necessary condition to meet end-to-end QoS requirements in a Next Generation Network (NGN). The emphasis is given on the system implementation of QoS policies for the fair distribution of network resources through a scalable architecture comprising key Resource and Admission Control Functional (RACF) entities, namely: a Network Management System (NMS), a QoS Manager, an Access Controller Manager (ACM), the Access Controllers, and the active probes.

Abstract translation: 正确分配网络带宽是提供某些性能保证以满足不断增长的客户需求的关键问题。 因此，必须明确地执行分配方法，以便尽可能有效地给予这些保证，因为共享资源有限。 本发明提出了基于分组的网络中的动态带宽管理（DBM）和服务质量（QoS）的方法和系统。 DBM是一种基于IP核心网上测量的QoS动态调整IP接入网络中的资源分配的算法，通过实施反馈控制机制来管理可用的核心传输带宽。 这样的反馈控制机制能够保持非拥塞状态，足以满足下一代网络（NGN）中的端到端QoS要求的必要条件。 重点在于通过包括密钥资源和接纳控制功能（RACF）实体的可扩展架构，网络资源的公平分配的QoS策略的系统实现，即：网络管理系统（NMS），QoS管理器，访问 控制器管理器（ACM），访问控制器和主动探测器。
