    摘要: A software program or a set of software tools allows end user quality of experience to be quantified and translated into network conditions required to achieve that end user quality of experience. By focusing on the Quality of Experience (QoE) for the applications that will use the network rather than the traditional bottom up approach, and then looking to design the network based on those end user requirements, the network may be designed and/or operated to achieve a high quality of experience. The program and tools may be used at different phases of the networking cycle, including design, planning, deployment, and operational phases, to allow the QoE requirements to be obtained while optimizing network cost and utilization. A QoE server may be implemented off line and used for network design/planning, or may be included on the network to monitor the network and control operation of the network to achieve the intended QoE.

    摘要: Domains (multiple collaborating service providers) create service offerings between pairs of edge nodes that interconnect with other domains in the network. The service offerings may specify the available bandwidth, quality of service, reliability, available security, price, subscriber and service contextual specific and other SLA information. When a new service is to be created, the service definition is used along with information about the available service offerings to determine a set of networks to implement the service. Information associated with the service offerings may be flooded to all other networks. Alternatively, the service offering information may be provided to a trusted third party (SLA broker) which may provide SLA services on the network to select sets of domains to implement inter-domain services, and may also proxy to set up the service for the SLA requesting party. A hybrid approach may also be used wherein some SLA information is flooded and other information is retained in secret and provided only to the SLA broker.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a system and method for network performance management for monitoring performance of network applications. The system comprises a transmitter for sending one or more types of probe packets to the network, a receiver for receiving the one or more network probe packets from the network and for receiving one or more network application performance queries from one or more network applications, a processor connected to the transmitter and the receiver and operable to process network probe packets received by the receiver to generate network performance statistics for each type of probe packet and to look up the network application performance requirements of the one or more network applications and compare the network application performance requirements with the corresponding network performance statistics to determine whether the network application should access the network. Network performance statistics may be obtained using lean packet probes, using real traffic test streams or obtaining network performance statistics from a service provider. Thus by providing a probe, lookup, feedback methodology, network parameters, or network application requirements, may be adjusted to meet performance requirements of one or more network applications.

    摘要: A general purpose Liquid Crystal Display controller apparatus for controlling an LCD driver is operable to control an LCD having a plurality of individually addressable pixels arranged in lines. The apparatus has a pixel group generator for generating a pixel group for addressing respective groups of pixels on the lines of the LCD and a display buffer for storing image codes representing a desired image to be displayed on the LCD, the image codes being accessed in response to respective pixel groups. An identifier is provided for identifying each of the image codes as being a direct pixel group control code or a character addressing code and a character table is provided for storing character sub-line codes for controlling pixels in an addressed group, the character sub-line codes being accessed in response to the character addressing codes. The apparatus further includes a code provider for determining whether the image code associated with a pixel group is a direct pixel control code or a character addressing code. When the image code is a direct pixel control code, controlling the addressed group of pixels is controlled with the direct pixel control code and when the image code is a character addressing code, the character table is addressed with the character addressing code and the addressed group of pixels is controlled with a character sub-line code from the character table.

    摘要: A set of critical nodes or links is identified on the network through which most of the shortest paths on the network occur. Each node compares their distance to end points on the network with a distance between the end points and each of the distinct critical nodes. Where the distance between the end points and the critical nodes is shorter than the distance between the end points and the node, the node is not on the shortest path and does not install forwarding state. Where the distance between the end points and the critical node is larger than or equal to the distance between the end points and the node, the node may be on the shortest path between the pair of end nodes and installs forwarding state. Installation of forwarding state may cause packet duplication, but determining forwarding state is dramatically simplified.
