    摘要: A technique of operating a network node of a multicast communication network comprising a plurality of network nodes which are interconnected with each other by communication links is provided, wherein the network node is associate with a common source network node. A method implementation of the technique comprises: determining a first path which connects the network node to the common source network node along a primary network tree, and determining a second path which connects the network node to the common source network node along a secondary network tree, wherein the first path and the second path show redundancy with respect to each other; receiving, at the network node, multicast data from the common source network node via the first path; triggering, by the network node, reception of multicast data from the common source network node via the second path if the network node detects a failure of the first path (e.g., determines that no multicast data is received via the first path).

    摘要: There is provided a method for use by a router in a communications network. Forwarding information is maintained (S1) which specifies the next hop node for each of a plurality of possible destination nodes. Update information is maintained (S1) which specifies how, if at all, the next hop nodes specified in the forwarding information are to be updated for a plurality of possible network resource failures. Known failure information is maintained (S1) which relates to a known network resource failure or which specifies that there is no known network resource failure. A failure notification is received (S2) relating to a network resource failure. In response to receipt of the failure notification, it is determined (S3) from the failure notification how, if at all, the known failure information is to be updated, and the known failure information is updated, if required, based on the determination (S4). A communications packet is received (S5). Various steps (S6 to S10) are carried out in response to receipt of the communications packet. The destination node for the received packet is determined (S6). It is determined (S7) whether the next hop node specified by the forwarding information for the determined destination node is potentially invalid in view of the known failure information. If so, then the next hop node for the determined destination node is updated if necessary in the forwarding information using the update information and the known failure information (S8). The next hop node is determined for the received packet using the forwarding information and the determined destination node (S9). The received packet is forwarded towards the determined next hop node (S10).

    摘要: There is provided a method for use by a first processing unit in or to be installed in a router. The first processing unit is configured or responsible for routing (or forwarding) packets to and from other routers. There may be other such first processing units in or installed in the router. In a first step (S1), information is received at the first processing unit which requires dissemination to other routers. The information also requires processing to determine what, if any, reconfiguration of the routing (forwarding) performed by the first processing unit is required. In a second step (S2b) the information is forwarded in a packet to other routers as required according to the routing (forwarding) configuration for the first processing unit. In a third step (S2c) the information is forwarded to at least one other first processing unit in the router (if there are any other first processing units in the router) not already in receipt of the information. If an expedited dissemination procedure is required, the second and third steps (S2b, S2c) are performed before the processing (to determine what if any reconfiguration is required) has been performed (completed) and/or before the first processing unit has been informed of the result of such processing and/or before any reconfiguration required in the first processing unit has been requested, arranged or performed (completed).

    摘要: Computer controlled method, network server (42, 43, 44, 46, 48) and system (40) for detecting data patterns in a data stream (36) received by a computer (30). The data stream (36) comprising a plurality of data symbols. The computer (30) executes a finite automata (10) comprising a plurality of states (11, 12, 13, 14, 15) including a start state (11) and at least one accepting state (15). State transitions (16) are triggered by a data symbol (17a) according to a state transition register (17) and the method comprises the steps of determining (21), by the computer (30), from a data symbol register (18) whether a data symbol of the data stream (36) is comprised in a group of data symbols not resulting in an accepting state (15), and triggering (22), by the computer (30), a transition (16) to the start state (11) for data symbols comprised in the group and a transition (23) to a state (12, 13, 14, 15) according to the state transition register (17) for detecting the data pattern otherwise.
