    摘要: An access node (1) that is preferably a Flow-Aware Ethernet DSLAM adapted to transmit Ethernet data frames between subscribers (2) and an aggregation network (3). The access node comprises a first memory (4) for storing classification rules and a second memory (6) for storing flow rules. These rules are applied by a classification agent (5) and by a service agent (7) to information extracted from incoming data frames in order to infer flow awareness information of outgoing frames corresponding to these incoming data frame. In this way, the subscriber access network evolves to a multi-service architecture by replacing ATM with Ethernet for cost reasons. The concept of “flow awareness” is applied to the present access node. With respect to known tunnel-based Ethernet DSLAMs, the present access node removes all dependency on correct encapsulation or labeling at the customer side and at the service provider side. By removing the need for tunnels, traffic may be inserted at any intermediate point, as may be required for multicast.

    摘要: Systems for transmitting information from terminal systems (1) via access multiplexers (3) comprising virtual forwarder systems (5) to networks are made less complex by inserting at the terminal systems (1) virtual forwarder internet protocol addresses (35,64,66) into destination fields of internet protocol headers for heading the information and by inserting destination internet protocol addresses (36,37,38,65,67) into routing fields of the internet protocol headers. Both the terminal systems (1) and the access multiplexers (3) should be made capable of dealing with internet protocol headers of the internet protocol version-4 or the internet protocol version-6 or higher, which comprise a destination field and a routing field. The destination internet protocol addresses (36,37,38,65,67) in the routing fields allow distinguishment between different classes of services and/or applications used by the terminal system (1) simultaneously, without the access multiplexers (3) being obliged to unpack (parts of) the information and to detect (parts of) the information at higher layers.

    摘要: Systems comprising aggregation equipment (1) and remote equipment (2-3) for exchanging messages between a subscriber unit (4,5,6,7,8,9) of the subscriber equipment (4-9) and the aggregation equipment (1) via a remote unit (2,3) of the remote equipment (2-3) are provided with translation equipment (12) for translating at least one virtual local area network identifier in at least one of the messages. As a result, it is no longer necessary to configure the remote equipment (2-3) to distribute the available virtual local area network identifiers among the remote equipment (2-3). A generator (44) generates translations of virtual local area network identifiers in a static way, to distribute the available virtual local area network identifiers among possible messages coming from the remote units (2,3), or in a dynamic way, to distinguish messages comprising the same virtual local area network identifier and coming from different subscriber units (4,7) and arriving via different remote units (2,3) at the same piece of aggregation equipment (1).

    摘要: A method to preserve the ordering of data packets of a same flow (P1-P4, P7, P8) passing either through a control plane (CP) or through a data plane (DP) of a telecommunication network element. The method comprises the step of, when the control plane starts processing the new flow, the control plane controls the data plane to latch any other packet belonging to this flow by sending a first control packet (C1) to said data plane. When the processing is completed, the control plane controls the data plane to release the latched packets by sending a second control packet (C3) to said data plane. The present method is particularly applicable to Ethernet frames, where it is also not allowed to reorder frames belonging to a same ‘Ethernet flow’.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a Single ended line testing method for qualifying an electrically conducting line. This method comprises the steps of sending a plurality of excitation signals from a first end of said line towards a second end of said line and before the sending of this plurality of excitation signals, randomising each excitation signal of the plurality of excitation signals. Subsequently, measurements are performed, at the first end of the line, of each reflection of the plurality of excitation signals sent towards the second end of the line. Then an inverse randomisation on each of the measurements of reflections is performed which is succeeded by determining an average of all the measurements of reflections of the excitation signals. Finally, from the average a qualification of the electrically conducting line is determined.
