摘要： A first node in a network receives a timing packet containing time information, where the timing packet is originated by a time server. The first node then updates the time information in the timing packet to reflect a delay associated with communicating the timing packet over a network link. The first node then updates the time information in the timing packet to reflect the delay associated transfer of the timing packet through the node. The first node sends the timing packet with the updated time information to a second node to enable the second node to use the updated time information for synchronization of the second node. The process repeats across an arbitrary number of nodes to enable time alignment between the first node and final destination node.

摘要： Where a common network clock is available at both a TDM receiver and a TDM transmitter which communicate via a packet network, differential clock recovery can be accomplished by matching the number of service clock pulses in a network reference clock period at the transmitter and receiver. In one embodiment the transmitter need only send a counter value from a counter that is clocked and reset, respectively, by the service clock and network reference clock, thereby allowing use of different types of oscillators, both analog and digital, to be implemented at the transmitter and receiver. The technique is also general enough to be applied in a wide variety of packet networks including but not limited to IP, MPLS and Ethernet. In an alternative embodiment, a faster derived network clock fdnc drives both the transmitter and receiver counters, which in turn are reset, respectively by the slower transmitter service clock fsc and slower receiver service clock frc.

摘要： Various techniques for queue management based on random early detection (RED) are disclosed herein. In particular, a method for generating a drop probability for an incoming packet in a device having a queue to buffer packets between segments of a network is provided. The method comprises determining, upon receipt of an incoming packet, a size of the queue and determining an error based at least in part on a difference between the queue size and a threshold. The method further comprises determining a drop probability for the incoming packet based at least in part on the error and a constant gain factor. The constant gain factor may be based at least in part on a linearized second order dynamic model of the network.

摘要： The invention includes a technique for clock recovery in a network having master and slave clocks in respective Time Division Multiplexing (“TDM”) network segments which are interconnected by a non-TDM segment. Master clock timestamps are sent to the slave. The slave measures a master clock timestamp inter-arrival interval, and sends slave clock timestamps to the master. The master measures a slave clock timestamp inter-arrival interval, and sends that slave clock timestamp inter-arrival interval to the slave. The slave then calculates an error signal based at least in-part on the difference between the master clock timestamp inter-arrival interval and the slave clock timestamp inter-arrival interval, and employs the difference to recover the first service clock in the second TDM segment.

摘要： An improved buffer management process is disclosed wherein the buffer is shared among a plurality of packet queues. The improved buffer management process comprises computing a common queue threshold value based upon the aggregate size of the plurality of packet queues and a predetermined buffer threshold value. The common queue threshold value is then used to manage the size of each of the plurality of packet queues and thereby manage the buffer.
