    摘要: We formulate the network-wide traffic measurement/analysis problem as a series of set-cardinality-determination (SCD) problems. By leveraging recent advances in probabilistic distinct sample counting techniques, the set-cardinalities, and thus, the network-wide traffic measurements of interest can be computed in a distributed manner via the exchange of extremely light-weight traffic digests (TD's) amongst the network nodes, i.e. the routers. A TD for N packets only requires O(loglog N) bits of memory storage. The computation of such O(loglog N)-sized TD is also amenable for efficient hardware implementation at wire-speed of 10 Gbps and beyond. Given the small size of the TD's, it is possible to distribute nodal TD's to all routers within a domain by piggybacking them as opaque data objects inside existing control messages, such as OSPF link-state packets (LSPs) or I-BGP control messages. Once the required TD's are received, a router can estimate the traffic measurements of interest for each of its local link by solving a series of set-cardinality-determination problems. The traffic measurements of interest are typically in form of per-link, per-traffic-aggregate packet counts (or flow counts) where an aggregate is defined by the group of packets sharing the same originating and/or destination nodes (or links) and/or some intermediate nodes (or links). The local measurement results are then distributed within the domain so that each router can construct a network-wide view of routes/flow patterns of different traffic commodities where a commodity is defined as a group of packets sharing the same origination and/or termination nodes or links. After the initial network-wide traffic measurements are received, each router can further reduce the associated measurement/estimation errors by locally conducting a minimum square error (MSE) optimization based on network-wide commodity-flow conservation constraints.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a method for estimating the number of tags in a set of tags in a system of tags and readers. The method includes, during each of a plurality of time intervals: (i) transmitting a command requesting that each tag that receives the command determine whether to transmit a reply; and (ii) receiving, in one or more timeslots of a frame corresponding to the time interval, replies from one or more tags. The method further includes providing an estimate of the number of tags in the set of one or more tags based on (i) timeslots in each of the plurality of time intervals that are zero timeslots, i.e., timeslots having no received reply, and (ii) the total number of timeslots in each frame.

    摘要: The present invention sets forth a methodology for providing improved downlink backhaul services from a radio network controller (RNC) to a plurality of base stations via a backhaul network that provides Ethernet services. The Ethernet services are provided by a group of provider edge (PE) switches and regular label switch routers (referred to as P switches). Base stations within the network are assigned into clusters, each of the clusters having a cluster ID. The RNC transmits packets to a given switch or switches out on the network based on a cluster ID included within the transmitted packet. The communications traffic is then multicast from at least one last hop switch in the network to candidate base stations on the basis of the cluster ID and an active set within the cluster. Advantageously, the clusters act as subgroups for more easily directing the transmission of the backhaul multicast traffic. Significant advantages are realized through use of the present invention, including the ability to allow faster and smoother handoffs, as well as backhaul bandwidth savings since intelligence regarding cell switching is extended out at a point farther along the network than was previously enabled.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a node-implemented method for performing analysis of traffic within a packet communications network. First, the node measures a traffic aggregate at specified nodes within the network with regard to a packet set of interest. Each traffic aggregate (i) is a set of packets, observed at one of the specified nodes, having a common characteristic and (ii) is measured at one of the specified nodes by creating a digest for the packets having the common characteristic. The digest characterizes the traffic aggregate without containing the actual packets themselves. Next, the node formulates an intersection set cardinality determination for a network traffic-characterizing parameter to be measured in the network utilizing the digests characterizing the traffic aggregates. Next, the node solves the set cardinality determination for the network traffic-characterizing parameter to be measured.

    摘要: A method for consolidating backward resource management (BRM) cells in an available bit rate point-to-multipoint tree including a root, a plurality of leaves and a branch point interconnected between the root and the leaves. Initially, congestion information memory devices are reset. Then for each incoming return BRM cell to the branch point a determination is made whether the branch point has received a return BRM cell from a predetermined number of candidates in a candidate set of candidate-branches. If the branch point has not received a return BRM cell from the predetermined number of candidates in the candidate set then the congestion information from the incoming return BRM cell and the congestion information in the congestion information memory devices are consolidated in the congestion information memory devices. After the congestion information memory devices have been updated with the consolidated congestion information then the incoming return BRM cell is discarded and the determination is repeated for the next incoming return BRM cell. If the branch point has received a return BRM cell from the predetermined number of candidates in the candidate set then the congestion information from the incoming return BRM cell and the congestion information in the congestion information memory devices are consolidated in the incoming return BRM cell before being passed back to the root. The congestion information memory devices are then reset and the process is repeated for the next incoming return BRM cell. In addition, various methods may be used to control the rate of pass back of incoming return backward resource management cells at a branch point to a source.
