Abstract: A method (60; 70) for processing data packets allows the same hardware that is used in a traffic-forwarding path to add timestamps to the data, which allow accurate measurements to be taken. By adding this function in the forwarding equipment itself, the measurements can be taken in a true operational network, i.e., under actual usage conditions. Moreover, if multiple systems in the traffic path support this functionality, the value of the measurements is enhanced to enable end-to-end path guarantees. One exemplary embodiment (10) of the present invention uses synchronized clocks to provide timestamps for use in performance monitoring within an operational system. Synchronized clock signals can be used to accurately time stamp incoming and outgoing packets to provide performance measurement of traffic through the system under actual operating conditions.

Abstract: A local area network (LAN) topology monitor including segment monitor nodes which report the presence of new end nodes to a network manager node. The segment monitors send a test-node message when requested by the network manager and inform the network manager of any test-node messages originating from other segments. The network manager uses the sequence of received new-node messages and test-node messages to determine the topology of the LAN. If one segment monitor reports a new node, the new node must be connected to the same segment as the reporting monitor. If multiple segment monitors report the presence of a new node, the network manager requests each reporting segment monitor to send a test-node message. Since the segment monitors report test-node messages received from other segment monitors, if only one segment monitor responds as having received a test-node message, then that segment contains the new node. Otherwise, the new node is off-segment. The presence of one or more bridges connected to particular segment may be similarly determined by having the network manager initiate on-segment test messages.

Abstract translation: 局域网（LAN）拓扑监测器，包括向网络管理器节点报告新端点节点的存在的段监视器节点。 段监视器在网络管理器请求时发送测试节点消息，并向网络管理员通知源自其​​他段的任何测试节点消息。 网络管理员使用接收的新节点消息和测试节点消息的顺序来确定LAN的拓扑。 如果一个分段监视器报告新节点，则新节点必须连接到与报告监视器相同的分段。 如果多段监视器报告新节点的存在，则网络管理器请求每个报告段监视器发送测试节点消息。 由于分段监视报告从其他分段监视器接收到的测试节点消息，如果只有一个分段监视器响应为接收到测试节点消息，则该分段包含新节点。 否则，新节点是非分段的。 连接到特定段的一个或多个桥的存在可以通过使网络管理器启动片上测试消息来类似地确定。

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing a return path signal transmitted from a user device is described. In one example, an apparatus receives, and subsequently decodes, a return path signal that is transmitted from a user device. From the decoded signal, the type of user device transmitting the return path signal is determined. The apparatus then routes the return path signal to a media access control (MAC) processor that is specifically designed to process return path signals transmitted from the determined type of user device.

Abstract: Monitoring is done of communications which occur in a network of nodes, each communication being effected by a transmission of one or more packets among two or more communicating nodes, each communication complying with a predefined communication protocol selected from among protocols available in the network. The contents of packets are detected passively and in real time, communication information associated with multiple protocols is derived from the packet contents.

Abstract: A communications highway network system for the interactive communication of digital and analog information that incorporates LAN, MAN, and CATV technology to provide an information pathway of metropolitan size that has a spanning tree topology. The system is multiple drop that operates according a network protocol. The network protocol is based on modified TDM techniques, compensation for round trip loop delay, dynamic allocation of time slots on the network bus, and global synchronization. The protocol also permits concatenation of data packets to reduce overhead. Access to the network bus is controlled by a system allocator operating according to the network protocol. The allocator may allocate network bus bandwidth to simultaneously provide three levels of service for the system nodes to access the network bus, namely, isochronous, demand-based dedicated, and contention bandwidth allocation. This allocation method incorporates fairness to give all nodes sufficient bus access opportunities.
