摘要： A metering device has a first token bucket with a profile, a rate, and a maximum number of tokens. The device has another token bucket with its own profile, two associated rates, and a maximum number of tokens. In operation, the device adds tokens in the first token bucket at its rate if the bucket has less than the maximum number of tokens for that bucket, and adds a number of tokens in the other token bucket at the same rate if the first token bucket is full and the other token bucket is not. Additionally, the device adds tokens in the second token bucket according to the second rate associated with the token bucket if it is not full. When receiving a packet, if the packet has a first marking, and the first token bucket has a sufficient number of tokens, the packet's marking is maintained and the number of tokens in the first bucket is decremented, else, if the packet has one of two markings, and the second token bucket has a sufficient number of tokens, the packet's second marking is selected and the second token bucket is decremented, else, if the packet has a marking other than one of the two markings, the packet's marking is maintained as other than one of the two markings.

摘要： A video services receiver system and related operating methods provide alternative event information to a customer who is subject to a blackout for a desired event. If the blacked out content is available via a different event on a different service, the system will find the other event and provide an appropriate notification to the customer. A method of providing access to events by a customer associated with a video services receiver begins by identifying a first event on a first service, the first event corresponding to a first presentation of content. The method continues by retrieving an alternative event identifier for the first event and using the alternative event identifier to search for a second event on a second service, the second event corresponding to a second presentation of the content. Thereafter, the method generates an alternative event notification for the customer. The alternative event notification indicates availability of the second event for access by the customer.

摘要： A command instruction set for a packet data modification processor has a format in which a packet address, if present, specifies an encapsulated layer within the packet and a location within this encapsulated layer. The at least one command within the command instruction set specifies deriving at least a portion of a first packet from data taken from a second packet or the command.

摘要： A method and system is provided to enable quality of service across a backplane switch for multicast packets. For multicast traffic, an egress queue manager manages congestion control in accordance with multicast scheduling flags. A multicast scheduling flag is associated with each egress queue capable of receiving a packet from a multicast ingress queue. When the multicast scheduling flag is set and the congested egress queue is an outer queue, the egress queue manager refrains from dequeueing any marked multicast packets to the destination ports associated with the congested outer queue until the congestion subsides. When the congested egress queue is a backplane queue, the egress queue manager refrains from dequeuing any marked multicast packets to the destination ports on the destination blade associated with the congested backplane queue until the congestion subsides.

摘要： A method and system is provided to enable quality of service across a backplane switch. An egress queue manager on one blade communicates with an ingress queue manager on the same or on another blade where each blade is connected via a backplane switch. The egress queue managers communicate the congestion to ingress queue managers using a messaging scheme. The ingress queue managers determine when to reduce or resume the packet sending rates of ingress queues mapped to congested egress queues or to destinations on congested blades. Each ingress queue manager maintains information about the status of egress queue congestion on its own blades. Normal rates of dequeuing packets from ingress queues are resumed only when the related congestion on all of the egress queues or related destinations has subsided.
