In a remote computer, a method for providing a file comprises the steps of receiving a request for this file, identifying this file as being stored in a distant server, requesting the distance server to send the file, identifying this file as being used, and forwarding this file. Further, in a local server, a method for transferring a file from a home server comprises the steps of receiving a request for this file, this request comprising the home server identification, checking that this file is not locally stored, requesting this file to the home server, identifying the file as being locally used, and forwarding this file.

Method of reinitializing dictionaries in a data transmission system using data compression having a transmit device and a receive device, and in which strings of characters have to be transmitted in a compressed form, the transmit device having a transmit dictionary storing codewords associated with the strings of characters which are transmitted instead of the strings of characters, the receive device having a receive dictionary storing codewords associated with the strings of characters, and both dictionaries being updated each time a new string of characters has to be transmitted so that the contents of the dictionaries remain identical. This method saves at least the addresses of the parts of the transmit or receive dictionary which have to be modified by a dictionary updating operation, builds a check message based upon the contents of the transmit dictionary updated by the dictionary updating operation, transmits the check message from the transmit device to the receive device, and then deletes in both dictionaries the parts which are determined by the saved addresses in the event that the check message does not correspond to the contents of the updated receive dictionary. This enables both dictionaries to be reinitialized in an intermediate state without being reset.

Data transmission system for transmitting packets of data from a source workstation (10) to a destination workstation (18) wherein the packets of data are transmitted over at least an IP network (14) between an ingress node (16) connected to the source workstation and an egress node (20) connected to the destination workstation, wherein each router within the intermediary nodes along the data path from the ingress node to the egress node determines the best route in a routing table defined by the contents of a field contained in each packet of data being received. For this, the router of the ingress node comprises a configuration table which defines the contents of the TOS field in function of information associated with the 4/5 level protocol such as TCP or UDP.

Process for controlling frames transporting data from a transmitting Terminal (DTE 1) to at least a receiving Terminal (DTE 2) through a plurality of consecutive nodes including a start access node (NODE 1) connected to said transmitting Terminal and at least an end access node (NODE 6) connected to said receiving Terminal and intermediary nodes (NODE 2 to NODE 5), with each data frame comprising one or several protocol layers respectively associated with one or several communication protocols of controlling the frame flow at each node; such a process consisting in adding to each data frame a Data Manipulation Layer (DML) defining the parameters necessary for managing the manipulation (compression and/or encryption) of each field of the data frame located after the DML, and adding to each data frame a Control message for transporting a control protocol defining new parameters to be used by some ones nodes for managing the communication flow through the consecutive nodes.

Method of updating dictionaries in a data transmission system wherein strings of characters have to be transmitted in a compressed form from the transmit device to the receive device, the transmit device having a transmit dictionary storing codewords associated with the strings of characters which are transmitted instead of the strings of characters, the receive device having a receive dictionary storing codewords associated with the strings of characters, both dictionaries being updated each time a new string of characters has to be transmitted so that their contents remain identical. This method stores a value into a specific field of the dictionary location in which the codeword associated with each string of characters is stored, this value corresponding to at least one parameter dependent on the string of characters; accesses a plurality of dictionary locations to determine which location has a value in this specific field which is closest to a target value, deletes the contents of the dictionary location containing the closest value, and uses this dictionary location to store the codeword corresponding to the new string of characters.
摘要:
A process for operating a communication equipment having a set of mechanically connected apparatuses being vertically and horizontally packed. Each apparatus comprises telecommunication functions such as echo cancellation, data compression or ISDN gateway, as well as vertical and horizontal mechanical and communication connections respectively allowing the vertical and horizontal exchanges of frames with neighboring apparatuses. The communication is based on a frame comprising n bytes routing header with n being an integer and an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) cell.

A security system for preventing unauthorized use of a computer device. An extractable security piece includes an extractable main private key and a main PC public key. A PC security area which is a non-extractable part of the computer device includes a PC private key and an extractable main public key, which, together with the keys of the extractable security piece, constitute a Public Key Infrastructure. The extractable security piece and the PC security area include processing means for mutual authentication of the extractable security piece and the PC security area after the extractable security piece, which had been previously removed, has been reinserted in the computer device, thereby enabling the authorized user to access data stored in the computer device.

A hardware device for processing the tasks of an algorithm of the type having a number of processes the execution of some of which depend on binary decisions has a plurality of task units (10, 12, 14), each of which are associated with a task defined as being either one process or one decision or one process together with a following decision. A task interconnection logic block (16) is connected to each task unit for communicating actions from a source task unit to a destination task unit. Each task unit includes a processor (18) for processing the steps of the associated task when a received action requests such a processing. A status manager (20) handles actions coming from other task units and builds actions to be sent to other task units

A FISU frame handler which is connected between an adapter and a SS7 low speed network. For each FISU frames transmitted or received in the adapter, an interrupt is generated to a processor located in the adapter. In order to diminish the number of processor interruptions, the FISU frames are externally processed by the FISU frame handler by discarding repeated FISU frames transmitted from the network so as to generate idle state signals to the adapter and by converting idle state signals received from the adapter into repetitive FISU frames to transmit them to the network without interrupting the processor. In order to perform both functions, the FISU frame handler comprises two dedicated hardware units which operate according to specific methods.
