Abstract:
In a core node, packet related information included in a packet is extracted, a virtual queue length, which is an estimated value of a queue length of a transmission queue addressed to a user in an edge device, is calculated and held on a user basis on the basis of the packet related information and band information of a line between the edge device and the user, and a determination is made, on a user basis, as to whether or not band control is required, on the basis of the virtual queue length and predetermined conditions so as to perform, on the basis of the result of the determination, the band control of the packet addressed to the user on a user basis in a packet relay part.
Abstract:
There is a need for a network interface supporting various line speeds to have a smaller size and provide more flexible accommodation than the related art. In the present invention, provided is a communication device including a transfer processing unit which has four connectors capable of coupling with network interface units to be accommodated in one slot, and a packet processing circuit configured to process a packet input from the network interface via any one of the connectors and output the packet toward the network interface unit to be coupled with the connector, and a path control unit configured to manage a path between the packet processing circuit and the connector.
Abstract:
A communication apparatus receives control information of first data and a plurality of types of header information of first data, the first data being received by a first data receiver; selects a parameter from the plurality of types of header information of the first data based on a priority of a first data receiver group to which the first data receiver belongs and a storage condition, the priority being indicated by priority information, the storage condition indicating the number of entries of a whitelist that can be stored in a whitelist storage first memory; and add, to the whitelist, an entry that includes control information of the first data and at least one parameter selected above.
Abstract:
A virtual tunnel endpoint that makes a communication of a specific tenant is separated from virtual tunnel endpoints that make communications of the other tenants. A forwarding route from the virtual tunnel endpoint that makes a communication of the specific tenant is separated from a forwarding route from the virtual tunnel endpoints that make communications of the other tenants. Accordingly, a communication of the specific tenant is forwarded with priority.
Abstract:
A connector housing apparatus includes a main body section that has a plurality of connectors confronting a plurality of external connectors of an external housing and a moving guide section that guides movement of the main body section toward the external housing. The moving guide section has a latching section that latches the moving guide section on the external housing. The main body section is connected to the moving guide section so as to be movable in a fitting direction of the plurality of connectors. The latching section latches the moving guide section on a position at which the plurality of connectors are fitted to the plurality of external connectors. The main body section moves along the moving guide section in the fitting direction of the plurality of connectors, and thereby the plurality of connectors are fitted to the plurality of external connectors.
Abstract:
It is provided a packet transfer apparatus comprising: a packet reception part; a packet transmission part; a packet generation part for generating an own-apparatus-originated packet serving as a packet for instructing a predetermined operation and outputting the own-apparatus-originated packet; a packet search part for determining a content of flow control and searching for an output circuit; a search memory for storing the content of the flow control and information for identifying the output circuit outputting the packet; and a packet transfer processing part. The packet reception part determines whether the received packet is the own-apparatus-originated packet; and outputs a self-origination flag indicating a result of the determining and header information of the received packet to the packet search part. The packet search part determines the content of the flow control for the received packet by referring to the search memory based on the self-origination flag and the header information.
Abstract:
