To control a bandwidth without the need for a large-capacity buffer. This invention provides a packet transfer apparatus connected to first device and second device, with a network therebetween, including: an input unit that receives a packet from the first device; a packet storage unit that stores the packet; a packet processing unit that stores the packet in the packet storage unit; a packet checking unit that checks whether the packet is related to data request; a packet analyzing unit that analyzes the amount of data requested by the data request; a transfer control unit that controls transfer of the packet on the basis of the analyzed amount of data; and an output unit that sends the received packet to the second device.

摘要:
A high quality network is provided that eliminates the sorting time for sorting through registering look-up conditions, such as source and destination MAC addresses, in a content addressable memory, by generating a routing or flow control look-up key, and then selectively activating some of the physical banks in the content addressable memory with the look-up key during look-up for the look-up conditions. The look-up key is generated by extracting a part or all of the data contained in a packet header.

A high quality network is provided by not generating a sorting time when registering look-up conditions in a content addressable memory, and the physical banks activated during look-up of the look-up conditions are limited. The power consumption in a content addressable memory for routing and content addressable memory for flow control can be reduced by a hash function unit for routing for limiting the physical banks to be made active in a content addressable memory for routing which uses a routing look-up key or routing look-up data as input elements, and a routing register which stores values showing one or more physical bank numbers for converting hash values which may have discrepancies, and a hash function unit for flow control for limiting the physical banks to be made active in a content addressable memory for flow control which uses a flow control look-up key or flow control look-up data as input elements, and a flow control register which stores values showing one or more physical bank numbers for converting hash values which may have discrepancies.

An edge router measures a traffic volume inputted into a network, and the measurement result is notified to a network management server. If the network management server judges that the notified traffic volume is “smaller” than a capacity of a second core router, it will direct a first core router to shift to a power saving mode. The first core router notifies the edge router of the shift to the power saving mode, and the edge router updates a routing table so that the packet to the first core router may be bypassed to the second core router. The first core router shifts to the power saving mode that does not perform packet transfer, and reduction in electric power is realized.

A storage switch with bandwidth control function for preventing discarding of packets for bandwidth breach when sending or receiving storage data using an iSCSI protocol on a wide area network having a covenant (guaranteed) bandwidth, when the quantity of storage data traffic sent by the initiator or target was judged a bandwidth breach or violation. The traffic amount is predicted from the Expected Data Transfer Length contained in the read request of the iSCSI command and the Desired Data Transfer Length contained in the R2T command, when that command is sent to the target and the initiator and the bandwidth is regulated by controlling the transmission timing of that command.

摘要:
A network system forms a computer network, and includes: a collecting unit; a calculating unit; and a display unit. The collecting unit collects power consumption information from a connecting device. The power consumption information shows power consumption of the connecting device. The calculating unit calculates power consumption of the computer network based on the collected power consumption information. The calculated power consumption is itemized into constituent units based on a configuration of the computer network. The display unit displays the calculated power consumption.

A system permitting alteration of the information processing position, where an existing information system is used, while minimizing alterations in configuration or the like, is to be provided. Intelligent nodes each having an information processing section and any desired address altering section are arranged on boundaries of a network where packets are likely to pass. This node has a flow table for recognizing as a flow a group of packets transmitted from each user's terminal, a flow status table for determining the connection state and the next destination address or the final destination address of each flow, and a module to observe the loaded state of its own information processing function. It rewrites the destination address of any flow not in a connection-established state in the flow status table to a less loaded one out of its own information processing function section or external information processing apparatus.

A packet communication system of the present invention has first mode, second mode and third mode to apply to input packets. The first mode is a mode that decides priority of the packet by at least one of the address information and the application information, the second mode is a mode that decides priority of the packet by the DS value, the third mode is a mode that decides rewrite the DS value by at least one of the address information and the application information. A control unit of the packet communication system switches a mode to apply an input packet of the first mode, the second mode and the third mode based on the packet header information of the input packet.
