Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for collecting vehicle diagnostic information. The apparatus for collecting vehicle diagnostic information includes a conversion unit and an optical multiplexing unit. The conversion unit receives a plurality of frames complying with respective different protocols from a plurality of networks for vehicles, which collects vehicle diagnostic information, in electric signal form, and converts the plurality of frames into a plurality of optical signals having respective different wavelengths based on the wavelengths previously assigned to the respective protocols. The optical multiplexing unit generates a wavelength division multiplexed signal by performing wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) on the plurality of optical signals, and transmits the wavelength division multiplexed signal via an optical cable.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for dynamically managing hierarchical flows that more efficiently process packet traffic while maintaining compatibility with an existing packet data network in transferring both circuit traffic and packet traffic in a packet switched network. The method for dynamically managing hierarchical flows includes: receiving data packets, classifying the data packets according to attributes of the received data packets, and producing first flows; determining whether traffic of each of the first flows exceeds a predetermined bandwidth limit, and performing a packet drop process or producing second flows for first flows that exceed the bandwidth limit, according to a flow-specific policy; and performing second flow processing on the second flows according to a second flow policy. Only flows exceeding the bandwidth limit or causing congestion are hierarchically divided for management. This makes it possible to finely manage the flows without complex operations.
Abstract:
A system and method for time synchronization on a network is provided. According to the system and method for time synchronization, a slave clock device does not continuously receive a time synchronization message periodically transferred from a master clock device and thus does not correct its time upon all such occasions. Rather, the slave clock device requests time information from the master clock device only when the slave clock device needs to correct its time, and receives a time synchronization message transferred from the master clock device and compensates for its time deviation only while the slave clock device is activated, thereby reducing its power consumption and amount of computation.
Abstract:
The Ethernet packet transmission apparatus includes: a packet transceiving unit for transceiving an Ethernet packet through a plurality of Ethernet ports; a MAC header processing unit for receiving the Ethernet packet and reading header information; a packet processing unit for receiving the Ethernet packet, classifying the received Ethernet packet on a service or destination basis, assigning a priority label to the classified Ethernet packet on a packet-by-packet basis, and outputting memory state information on the corresponding port; a congestion controlling unit for controlling a position in an output sequence of the Ethernet packet; and a signal processing unit for receiving and comparing the port state information and the memory state information and outputting either a memory control signal or a congestion control signal to control the packet processing unit and the congestion controlling unit.

The Ethernet-MOS gateway apparatus including: an Ethernet frame interface unit connected with a packet network to transmit and receive an Ethernet frame, and converting the Ethernet frame into a MOST frame; a MOST frame interface unit connected with a MOST network to transmit and receive the MOST frame, and converting the MOST frame into the Ethernet frame; and a switch fabric connecting the Ethernet frame interface unit and the MOST frame interface unit.
Abstract:
Provided are a time synchronization method allowing a fixed time delay and a bridge that is interposed between a master and a slave, according to the method. In the bridge, a predetermined time after the synchronization packet is set as an output time of the synchronization packet and the synchronization packet is output at the output time. Accordingly, it is possible to delay synchronization packets in the bridge for the same time, thereby increasing the time synchronization precision.
