摘要:
A method, a unit and a computer program product for providing topology awareness information within an IP network includes a central node and a plurality of routers, wherein the probe is implemented in a router within the IP network and the probe belongs to a topology awareness system, that includes: elements for obtaining and maintaining relationship with other probes within the IP network, elements for collecting information about other network elements e.g. routers and switches, elements for communicating topology information with the central node of the topology awareness system, and elements for obtaining information concerning local resources on the router where the probe is implemented.
摘要:
A data network, method and a computer program product, wherein the data network is implemented by a first network level (104) having a first addressing scheme and at least a second network level (108) having a second addressing scheme. Each network level provides connectivity over at least one network domain. A first group of Network Resource Managers, NRMs, (b-d)) is arranged to control the resources of the first network level and a second group of NRMs (e-g) is arranged to control the resources of the second network level. The NRMs of the first group (b-d) and second group (e-g) exchange resource requests by using the first addressing scheme and the NRMs (e-g) of the second group perform an address mapping between the first and second addressing schemes.

摘要:
A method and arrangement in a communications network. The object is to provide a way of handing recourse management issues and admission control within an IP telephony system. The object is achieved by a topology aware resource manager collecting routing information concerning the IP network, obtaining resource information concerning resources within the IP network, creating a resource map by combing the routing information and resource information, and performing recourse management issues and admission control within the system by the resource map and by interacting with a gatekeeper.

The present invention relates to a back up top tier bandwidth manager (160) adapted to back up a top tier bandwidth manager (120) upon fail-over of the top tier bandwidth manager (120) in an Internet Protocol, IP, network. Said IP network comprises the top tier bandwidth manager (120) comprising a resource map (130) and adapted to pre-allocate resources in bulk from a bottom tier of said IP network (150) via a bottom-tier bandwidth manager (140) also located in said IP network. The back up top tier bandwidth manager comprises further a copy of the resource map (130) of the top tier bandwidth manager (120) which it is backing up and means for synchronising states with the bottom tier bandwidth manager upon fail-over of the top tier bandwidth manager.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and arrangement for providing end-to-end Quality of Service within a mobile telecommunication system. The communication system comprises at least one network e.g. a Core Network (CN) and at least one Radio Access Network (RAN) for Internet Protocol (IP) based transmission, wherein a Network Resource Manager (NRM) comprising a resource map is monitoring and/or controlling resources within the IP network.

摘要:
Method in a packet based communication network including network domains to establish a virtual leased line (VLL) between a source (SRC) and a destination (DST) in different domains in order to achieve packet transfer between the source and the destination, wherein a bandwidth broker (BB) is associated to each network domain.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for pre-allocating network resources within an IP-network. Reserved resources are allocated based on usage history statistics when available usage history statistics is applicable to the resource reservation request. Network resources are allocated individually for said requested resource reservation when applicable usage history statistics is not available, and the usage history statistics is updated based upon the result of said individually allocated resources. The invention relates also to resource manager where said method is implemented and a computer program product that performs the steps of the method according to the present invention.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method an arrangement for reserving resources in an IP network. By mixing open-ended reservations with in-advance reservations, by utilising a common pool of resources, the resource utilisation will be high. Despite the support for open-ended reservations, the present invention allows immediate and in-advance time-limited reservations wherein the resources are guaranteed. It also allows modification of active and “soon to be active” reservations, which in turn permit soft-state reservations. The invention supports different types of applications with varying time-distributions and varying risk of pre-emption. A new concept of open-ended in-advance reservations is also introduced in the present invention.
