摘要:
The number of connection setup request packets that are accepted for processing by a network element are dynamically adjusted based on the run time capacity of the network element. The number of accepted connection setup request packets that can be initiated for processing are dynamically modified based on the processor utilization and average latency of completion of processing the connection setup requests. The network element can apply a scheduling policy to those connection setup request packets to differentiate the processing treatment of different types of connection setup requests.

A method and apparatus for providing point-to-multipoint label switch paths (LSPs) in a Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network is described. In one embodiment, a point-to-multipoint LSP is built in a MPLS network by using Resource Reservation Protocol Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) to signal the point-to-multipoint LSP as separate point-to-point LSPs and to merge the separate point-to-point LSPs into the point-to-multipoint LSP.

Each application executing on an application server uses an extended version of the Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) language to define an application-specific rule set. The application server also includes a Just-In-Time compiler to compile the BPF rule set. The compiled rule set is downloaded to a Packet Forwarding Entity (PFE) in the network, and used to control how the PFE steers data packets generated by the application through a communications network.

A method, performed in a network element having a control card and a plurality of linecards of processing a plurality of different types of connection setup requests. A latency of processing each of the plurality of the different types of the connection setup requests is determined. A number of connection setup requests to be initiated to be processed by the control card is dynamically adjusted based on the determined latencies of processing each of the plurality of the different types of the connection setup requests. Other methods and network elements are also disclosed.

摘要:
An encoding module generates metadata descriptions for unique combinations of subset of fields of data structures that define for the receiver how to decode data in the corresponding subset of fields of that data structure included in messages; generates a unique metadata description identification for each different metadata description; includes metadata descriptions in the messages as well as the corresponding metadata description identifications when the receiver has not previously received those metadata descriptions. A decoding module stores metadata descriptions in a metadata description data structure as they are received, where each metadata description is associated with a metadata description identification, whereby the metadata description data structure is progressively populated with metadata for data structures as messages are received that include metadata descriptions; and decodes those messages received that do not include metadata descriptions based on the stored metadata descriptions that correspond with the metadata description identifications included in these messages.
