Abstract:
An interworking unit and a method of interchanging data between an optical network and a cable distribution network. In one embodiment, the interworking unit includes: (1) a cable line terminal module operable to communicate with a plurality of cable network units via a cable distribution network and (2) an optical networking unit module coupled to the cable line terminal module and operable to generate a message requesting registration of the interworking unit as an optical networking unit in an optical network and reporting a speed of the cable distribution network.
Abstract:
A capability is provided for adaptive polling of a device based on a set of polling control regions configured to control polling of the device. The set of polling control regions is defined based on at least one of a set of control parameters and non-parametric control information. A transition within the set of polling control regions is determined based on a current polling control region and a target polling control region that is determined based on input information received while in the current polling control region. The input information may include at least one of values of one or more parameters in the set of parameters and non-parametric input information. The transition may include remaining in the current polling control region or transitioning to a new polling control region. The transition may be performed based on a rapid up controlled down (RUCD) transition scheme.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a first node is adapted for communication with a plurality of additional nodes of a communication network, such as a Delaunay Triangulation (DT) network. The first node is configured to detect a failure in delivery of a broadcast packet to at least a given one of the additional nodes. Responsive to the detected failure in delivery of the broadcast packet to the given additional node, the first node encapsulates the broadcast packet in a unicast packet for delivery to a downstream node of the given additional node. The first node may be configured to detect the failure in delivery of the broadcast packet to the given additional node using a hop level acknowledgment process. Other embodiments are configured to facilitate implementation of progressive search by communicating identifiers from boundary nodes of the network that are reached in a given stage of the progressive search.
Abstract:
An illustrative example computing system includes a parallel computing controller configured to communicate control information with a plurality of computing nodes over a virtual private network. A cloud computing controller is configured to receive a communication from the parallel computing controller. Based at least in part on the received communication, the cloud computing controller allocates cloud computing resources to facilitate data traffic communication involving at least one of the plurality of computing nodes.
