摘要： A method and system for managing network services such as subscription services from a cable modem in a data-over-cable system. The cable modem receives an initialization message on a cable television connection indicating what services are available on a data network. The cable modem uses a connection to a public switched telephone network in the data-over-cable system to send requests to and receive responses from the data network. A telephony remote access concentrator on the public switched telephone network provides an additional security mechanism by not allowing a cable modem to subscribe to unauthorized services. Using the public switched telephone network does not compromise the security of the cable television network. In addition, the public switched telephone network is used to provide administrative support to the cable television network on lower bandwidth connections by providing an administrative pathway outside of the higher bandwidth cable television connections.

摘要： Methods for providing restricted access for a network device such as a cable modem or customer premise equipment on a data-over-cable system. An unknown or new network device is assigned a restricted network address such as a restricted Internet Protocol address. The restricted network address allows the network device to access less than all of the available features on the data-over-cable system. A connection timer is started on the data-over-cable system for a restricted connection to the network device. The connection timer restricts access to the data-over-cable system over a timed interval. A restricted connection is created between the data-over-cable system and the network device including the temporary restricted network address and the connection timer, thereby providing restricted access to the data-over-cable system over a timed interval. The methods may allow a data-over-cable system to provide restricted connections to unknown or new network devices without a long delay, yet provide security to the data-over-cable system.

摘要： A method and system for virtual network administration with a data-over-cable system. A virtual networking tag and a network address (e.g., an Internet Protocol address) assigned by a network other than a data-over-cable system is used to provide a virtual network to one or more network devices, such as cable modems via a data-over-cable system. The virtual networking tag may also be used to request a desired service class (e.g., Class-of-Service, Quality-of-Service, Type-of-Service, Service Level Agreements, etc.), for a desired end-to-end networking service (e.g., Voice over Internet Protocol). The virtual networking tag can be mapped to a data-over-cable service class. The data-over-cable service class can be mapped into a transport service class for a transport network. The virtual networking tag is used to provide a desired end-to-end networking service from a network device on a first external network (e.g., an Ethernet Local Area Network), through the data-over-cable system, through a transport network (e.g., Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, Asynchronous Transfer Mode, Frame Relay, Integrated Services Digital Network, Synchronous Optical Network, Voice over Internet Protocol, etc.) and to a second external network (e.g., another Ethernet Local Area Network). The method and system are used to provide a variety of networking services via and through a data-over-cable system.

摘要： An enhanced adaptive rate-based congestion control system for packet transmission networks uses the absolute rather than the relative network queuing delay measure of congestion in the network. Other features of the congestion control system include test transmissions only after a predetermined minimum time, after the receipt of an acknowledgment from the previous test, or transmission of a minimum data burst, whichever takes longest. The congestion control system also provides a small reduction in rate at low rates and a large reduction in rates at high rates. A logarithmic rate control function provides this capability. Rate damping is provided by changing all of the values in a rate look-up tables in response to excessive rate variations. Finally, the fair share of the available bandwidth is used as the starting point for rates at start-up or when a predefined rate damping region is exited.

摘要： A cell based network (100) for transmitting ATM user cells (118), including ABR data cells (118.sub.D) and forward control, or RM, cells (118.sub.FRM) at predetermined cell rates from at least one user source (102) in a virtual connection (VC, 110) through at least one ATM switch (120) and at least one transmission link (130) in the network to at least one user destination (104), employs a method and apparatus for controlling a user source (102) transmission cell rate in the presence of congestion in the VC (110). The calculation of a Fair Share cell transmission rate is written into a backward control, or RM, cell (118.sub.BRM) optionally takes place only in the presence of congestion at an ATM Switch (120). The calculation of the Fair.sub.-- Share value is simplified and calculation time is shortened by changing the number of active ABR VCs (N.sub.ABR) to a factor of two (E.sub.NABR) and dividing the maximum cell transmission rate by E.sub.NABR.

摘要： An end-to-end, closed loop flow and congestion control system for packet communications networks exchanges rate request and rate response messages between data senders and receivers to allow the sender to adjust the data rate to avoid congestion and to control the data flow. Requests and responses are piggy-backed on data packets and result in changes in the input data rate in a direction to optimize data throughput. GREEN, YELLOW and RED operating modes are defined to increase data input, reduce data input and reduce data input drastically, respectively. Incremental changes in data input are altered non-linearly to change more quickly when further away from the optimum operating point than when closer to the optimum operating point.

摘要： In a packet communications network, the addition or deletion of a connection to the network by a user is governed by a link traffic metric which represents the effective capacity of each link in the network which participates in the packet connection route. The link metric is calculated in real-time and updated by simple vector addition or subtraction. Moreover, this link metric is also used to calculate leaky bucket parameters which govern the access of packets to the network once the connection is set up. A packet network using these link metrics and metric generation techniques provides maximum packet throughput while, at the same time, preserving grade of service guarantees.

摘要： The entry polling (EP) method (900) of the present invention primarily incorporates two types of polling: contention based and standard polling. The present invention provides several advantages over present polling approaches. EP slots allow multi-priority users to compete for access into the standard polling scheme. The reservation channel is efficiently used by dynamically adjusting the frequency of contention slots based on system dynamics and dynamically changing the number of contention minislots for each service category within a contention slot with the case of sending only one minislot per slot. The channel is assigned primarily to active users. Pipeline polling is also incorporated, thus providing full use of the upstream channel. Since the local state information is provided by the user, the central controller may allow multiple variable length packets to be sent.

摘要： Access control for a packet communications network includes a dynamic bandwidth updating mechanism which continuously monitors the mean bit rate of the signal source and the loss probability of the connection. These values are filtered to remove noise and then used to test whether the values fall within a pre-defined acceptable adaptation region in the mean bit rate, loss probability plane. Values falling outside of this region trigger bandwidth updating procedures which, in turn, result in acquiring a new connection bandwidth, and determining new filter parameters and new parameters for a leaky bucket access mechanism.

摘要： In a packet communications network, the addition or deletion of a connection to the network by a user is governed by a link traffic metric which represents the effective capacity of each link in the network which participates in the packet connection route. A new connection (or deletion) is represented by a compatible metric which allows updates in the link metric by simple vector addition or subtraction. Separate link metrics for a plurality of classes of service permit a much higher efficiency in the exploitation of the link bandwidth than is possible with a single link metric. A packet network using multiple link metrics and efficient metric updating techniques provides increased packet throughput while, at the same time, preserving all class of service guarantees.
