    摘要: A method for operating a node in a computer network is disclosed, where the network is made up of nodes connected by links. The method has the steps: determining an alternate path for one or more links; reserving resources for the alternate path; and rerouting traffic on the alternate path in case of a link failure. The alternate path may be periodically updated. A plurality of alternate paths may be maintained. The alternate paths may not have any links in common. User traffic may be rerouted substantially simultaneously to each link of the alternate path in the event of failure of a primary path.

    摘要: In high speed cell switching networks, a Call Admission Control (CAC) procedure is performed on each connection according to a specified Traffic Descriptor. A mandatory parameter of the Traffic Descriptor is the Peak Cell Rate (PCR), associated with a Cell Delay Variation Tolerance (CDVT). Connections which specify a high CDVT value may potentially send into the network bursts of cells at a rate much higher than the declared Peak Cell Rate, which may lead to congestion in cell buffers of intermediate network nodes. Guaranteeing the Quality of Service (QoS) for such connections may require the reservation of a high amount of resources in the network, leading to poor utilization of those resources. A Call Admission Control procedure, associated with an Usage Parameter Control/Network Parameter Control mechanism, provides:accepting not bursty connections and guaranteeing the Quality of Service requested at connection setup,accepting very bursty connections and guaranteeing a minimal Quality of Service rather than simply rejecting them,protecting the network from potentially too bursty traffic,determining a bandwidth reservation method based on a Mean Burst Length,for every connection, minimizing the bandwidth reservation while satisfying the required Quality of Service.

    摘要: An adaptive apparatus and method for managing a playout buffer (POB) in an edge node of a packet-based data communications network, such as an ATM network, in order to reduce the end-to-end communication delay introduced thereby and to allow the POB filling level to be corrected in the event of clock speed differences. A monitoring mechanism determines if the minimum filling level of the playout buffer over a time period whereby the average filling level of the playout buffer is reduced according to the minimum filling level of the playout buffer over the time period.

    摘要: A method and system of transmitting data frames from a sending unit (10) to a receiving unit (12) in a data transmission network comprising at least a backbone (14) wherein the data are transmitted over high speed links enabling long Maximum Transmission Units (MTU) between an ingress node (18) connected to the sending unit by a first access link (16) and an egress node (22) connected to the receiving node by a second access link (20), with at least one of the first and second access links being a low speed access link requiring the data frames to be segmented into short MTUs between the sending unit and the ingress node and between the egress node and the receiving unit. A plurality of consecutive segmented data frames (28) belonging to the same flow of data transmitted from the sending unit to the ingress node are assembled by the ingress node into an assembled data frame (30) corresponding to the long MTU, the assembled data frame is transmitted over the backbone from the ingress node to the egress node at a high speed authorized by the backbone links, and the assembled data frame is de-assembled into consecutive segmented data frames (32) corresponding to the short MTUs by the egress node before being transmitted to the receiving unit.

    摘要: A method and a system of network capacity planning for use in a high speed packet switching network. The network comprises a plurality of switching nodes interconnected through a plurality of communication links, each of the switching nodes comprises means for switching packets from at least one input link to at least one output link. Each of the output links is coupled to at least one buffer in the switching node for queuing packets before they are transmitted over the output link. In each of the switching nodes and for each of the output links, a time distribution of the occupancy of each buffer during a predetermined monitoring time period is measured, and stored in a centralized memory location. Then, the buffer occupancy time distribution data are retrieved from the centralized memory location in all the switching nodes, gathered and stored in a network dedicated server. These buffer occupancy time distribution data for all the nodes are transmitted from the dedicated network server to a network monitoring center. In the network monitoring center, the buffer occupancy time distribution data are integrated on a larger time scale, and stored. Finally, the integrated buffer occupancy time distribution data are used to apply network capacity planning actions to the network resources.
