摘要:
Consistent with embodiments of the present invention, a method may be provided comprising receiving a search string corresponding to a desired node comprising a target parameter, a policy parameter, and a class parameter. The target parameter may be referenced with a target index table to determine which interfaces to search. The policy parameter may be referenced with a policy index table to determine a node-id of a policy node corresponding to the policy parameter. A level for the desired node may be determined based on the node-id. The class parameter may be referenced with the determined node-id with a class index table to access a bucket location. The desired node may then be searched for with the determined node-id at the determined level.

Methods and Systems are provided for a distributed Provider Edge (PE). A single Virtual Routing and Forwarding device (VRF) is associated with a single customer site. The VRF includes a single routing table (RIB) and a single forwarding table (FIB). The VRF also includes a plurality of Virtual Private Network (VPN) Protocol Instance Modules (VRP), where each VRP is associated with a different VPN from the customer site. Each VRP accesses the RIB directly and the FIB indirectly to acquiring addressing/routing information for a received data packet. Moreover, each VRP uses a data plane of the VRP to communicate the data packets to a PE backbone device. In turn, the PE backbone device uses the data plane to communicate with each of the VRPs, and the PE backbone device communicates with one or more tunnels.

Methods, systems and computer program products which identify network routing paths having a first performance characteristic less than a first specified limit and a second performance characteristic less than a second specified limit from a plurality of routing paths. These routing paths are identified by combining both the first performance characteristic and the second performance characteristic for one of the plurality of routing paths to provide a third performance characteristic which differs from both the first and the second performance characteristic and which operates as a proxy for the first and second performance characteristic. It is then determined if the third performance characteristic of the routing path is less than a third performance limit associated with the third performance characteristic.

A convolutional encoding/decoding system encodes a data bit stream into n bit parity sets from k bit data bit sets, using code words of length L. The system is dependent upon the finding that unique data to parity tables can be generated where both data and parity bit blocks are w bits in length. The value of w=n(L-k)/(n-k). An encoded parity bit stream is subjected to Exclusive OR operation through a connection mask or masks that are dependent upon the encoding code words. The Exclusive OR operation generates syndrome symbols indicative of the presence of errors in the parity bit stream and which are employed to address a correction table. Parity correction values are derived from the correction table and are used to revise the parity bit stream, which is then decoded, using a parity to data table. A number of parity correction procedures are disclosed.

摘要:
A method for fine decomposition in finite element mesh generation, in which a polygonal boundary of a domain is input into the system by an analyst and the domain is automatically divided into rough elements generally corresponding to Voronoi regions, that is, regions which are closer to respective ones of the polygonal line segments or reflex vertices therebetween. Any arc portion of these regions is converted to a straight line. Additional lines are formed between interior vertices of the rough regions so that all rough regions are either triangles or trapezoids. Adjacent rough regions are then paired across internal boundaries and are classified into four types. The rough regions are then subdivided into fine regions of triangular shape according to rules associated with each of the four types. The degree of fine subdivision can be controlled according to known equations providing the total number of fine elements. Finite difference equations are solved on the so generated fine regions and a physical variable is displayed in pictorial form. The analyst then readjusts the domain boundary and repeats the process.
