摘要:
A method for transferring a series of layer-3 packets through an ATM network composed of a plurality of ATM switches is disclosed. An ingress gateway determines whether a packet flow has been registered and, when the flow has not been registered, determines a transfer route. A connection setup cell is transmitted to a next-hop ATM switch to ensure a connection dedicated to transfer of tho series of packets. Then, a series of packets is transferred to the next-hop ATM switch through the connection after the connection has been set up.

A caching method for caching network contents of a packet transfer network including a packet relay for relaying accesses of clients to servers supplying contents, and a network contents cache device are disclosed. Accesses from the clients to the servers are monitored by the said packet relay to determine a cache priority on the basis of a product of relaying path lengths from the packet relay to the server and frequency of access from the client to the servers and the network contents cache device preferentially caches a response to the access to the server having higher cache priority.

The present invention is to provide a cell discard control system for an ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) cell buffer capable of preventing useless cells which are not restored to an original packet from being transmitted to an ATM network and minimize a discarded number of packets which should not be discarded. It comprises a cell receiving section 11 having a packet identifier adding part 11a for adding a packet identifier for identifying being cellulated from the same packet for an input cell and a cell discard part 11b for discarding cells, a cell buffer 12 for buffering cells transferred from the cell receiving section 11, the cell transmitting section 13 for transmitting cells transferred from the cell buffer 12 to an ATM network and transmitting idle cells instead of discarded cell which have been discarded by a cell discard part 13a, and buffer controller 14 for detecting a packet identifier added to a cell being discarded due to over flow of the cell buffer 12 and instructing the cell receiving section 11 and the cell transmitting section 13 to discard cells having the same packet identifier being detected.

In a packet switch structured by connecting unit switches in multi-stages which is capable of transmitting packets without delay and accommodating high-speed lines, unit switches at the first stage assign, to an input packet, a sequence number according to a destination of the packet and distribute and send out the packet to a unit switch at the succeeding stage and unit switches at the final stage sequence and output packets according to sequence numbers assigned to packets received from a unit switch at the preceding stage.

Disclosed is a system for scheduling reservation of traffic with priority, in which each of input ports detects the reserved addressed output port for a high priority traffic by detecting signaling of the traffic and notifies the reserved addressed output port to a scheduler, the scheduler sets a switch connection for passing the high priority traffic with priority every time slot and assigns other switch connections to best effort traffics, and when the switch connections are determined, outputs grant signals to input ports and setting signal to a switch.

An internet protocol (IP) layer processor has an IP header processing section for checking a defect in an IP header of a first ATM cell of an AAL5 frame, and a SAR (segregation and reassemblage) section for transferring the AAL5 frame in the form of separate ATM cells if the check by the IP header processing section indicates a normal IP header, without using a CPU. SAR notifies a defect in the IP header to CPU without transmission of the AAL5 frame if the check indicates the defect in the IP header. The IP layer processor achieves a higher processing due to the direct transfer by the SAR without using processing by a software.

The present invention relates to a data collection system and a data collection method in a sensor network, enabling sensor modules to consume lower amounts of power. The base station transmits data collection request signals to one or more sensor modules which are lower than the base station by 1 in a tree structure. Each sensor module which has received the data collection request signal transfers the signal to one or more sensor modules which are lower than the module by 1. The base station regards the transfer of the signal as ACK for the data collection request signal transmitted therefrom to the sensor module which is lower than the base station by 1. The transmission of a data collection acknowledgement signal starts from a sensor module at the low-order end. When a sensor module receives the data collection acknowledgement signal from a downstream sensor module which is lower than the module by 1, the module transmits the signal to an upstream sensor module which is higher than the module by 1. The downstream sensor module regards the transmission of the signal as ACK for the data collection acknowledgement signal transmitted therefrom, and enters standby mode. In this manner, the sensor modules enter standby mode in sequence starting from the sensor module at the low-order end. Thereby, it is possible to achieve reductions in the frequency of signal transmission while maintaining reliable data communication. Thus, each module consumes lower amounts of power.

A packet switch includes (a) a plurality of inputs into each of which a packet is input, (b) a switch which receives the packet from the input and switches an output through which the packet is transmitted, and (c) a scheduler which controls the switch. The scheduler (103) includes (c1) a shuffler (201) which shuffles an order of precedence in a first request transmitted from the input to transfer the packet, (c2) a schedule algorithm (202) which determines the output, based on the first request having the order of precedence having been shuffled by the shuffler, and produces a second request to transfer a packet which second request is associated with the first request having the order of precedence having been shuffled by the shuffler, and (c3) a re-shuffler (203) which turns an order of precedence of the second request to be identical with the order of precedence in the first request as found before having been shuffled by the shuffler, and returns the thus turned order of precedence back to the input.

A unicast/multicast system has an internal cell generating section that generates an internal cell to include its output index information based on user data, and an output port conversion table that stores the relation of output index information and output port number for the internal cell in the form of one-to-one for the unicast and one-to-multiple for the multicast.
