    摘要: A system and method for propagating a network topology model of a binary tree topology network through the network. The network includes a plurality of nodes, including a root node and at least one leaf node, operatively networked together. Each leaf node provides a propagate network topology model message to the parent node docked uptree of and with the providing leaf node. Each of the plurality of nodes that receives the propagate network topology model message forms a network topology model representing one or more paths from the receiving node to nodes downtree of the receiving node, stores the model in a memory accessible to the receiving node, and provides a propagate network topology model message containing the network topology model to the parent node docked uptree of and with the receiving node. A network topology model is thereby propagated through the network.

    摘要: Methods for propagating a network topology model of a binary tree topology network through a network, the network including a root node and leaf nodes, networked together to provide a communications path for data, each of the nodes except the root node being docked downtree of a parent node, and each of the nodes docked uptree of a first child node and a second child node, each of the at least one leaf nodes having none of the plurality of nodes docked downtree of and therewith. Each of the leaf nodes provides a propagate network topology model message containing the address of the providing leaf node to the parent node docked uptree of and with the providing leaf node. Each node receiving the message forms a network topology model representing a path from the receiving node to each one of the plurality of nodes downtree of the receiving node.

    摘要: Methods for reconfiguring binary tree topology networks upon the departure of a departing node are described. A register message is sent from a child node to a parent node, the register message requesting that the parent node dock uptree of the child node. In response, a register accept is sent from the parent node to the child node, thus docking the parent node uptree of the child node. A priority join message is sent from a second child node to the first child node requesting that the first child node dock uptree of the second child node. A disconnect propagate message is sent from the first child node to a grandchild node upon receiving a priority join message from the second child node. A join accept is sent from the first child node to the second child node, thus docking the first child node uptree of the second child node.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the present invention relate to a system for distributing data (e.g., content data) over a computer network and a method of arranging receiver nodes in a computer network such that the capacity of a server is effectively increased (e.g., the capacity of a server may be effectively multiplied many times over; the capacity of the server may be effectively increased exponentially). In one embodiment the present invention may take advantage of the excess capacity many receiver nodes possess, and may use such receiver nodes as repeaters. The distribution system may include node(s) having database(s) which indicate ancestor(s) and/or descendant(s) of the node so that reconfiguration of the distribution network may be accomplished without burdening the system's primary server. An embodiment of the present invention may include a process for configuring a computer information distribution network having a primary server node and user nodes docked in a cascaded relationship, and reconfiguring the network in the event that a user node departs from the network. In one example (which example is intended to be illustrative and not restrictive), the process may include the steps of providing a new user node (or connection requesting user node) with a connection address list of nodes within the network, having the new user node (or connection requesting user node) go to (or attempt to go to) the node at the top of the connection address list, determine whether that node is still part of the distribution network, and connect thereto if it is, and if it is not, to go to (or attempt to go to) the next node on the connection address list. In another example (which example is intended to be illustrative and not restrictive), when a user node departs from the distribution network, a propagation signal may be transmitted to the nodes below it in the network, causing them to move up in the network in a predetermined order.

    摘要: A system and method for preventing reconfiguring a binary tree topology network. The network includes a plurality of nodes, a root node and a first set of nodes, operatively networked together to provide a downtree communication path for data. A first node is docked downtree of, and with a parent node, and uptree of, and with a first and second child node. The first node, and the first and second child node, are each one of the first set of nodes, and the plurality of nodes includes each of the first set of nodes and the parent node. A please stand by message is sent from the first node to the first and second child nodes. The first and second child nodes are inhibited from reporting an issue with the performance of the first node for at least a predetermined period after the please stand by message is received.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the present invention relate to a super-node formed from a plurality of nodes in a binary tree topology network. The super-node includes a multitasking computing system having a memory, and nodes running the computing system. Each of the nodes are adapted to be docked downtree of and with another node, and are adapted to be docked uptree of and with two other nodes. A first node in the plurality of nodes is docked downtree of and with a parent node running on a first separate computing system. Each node of the plurality of nodes except the first node is docked downtree of and with another one of the plurality of nodes. In this manner, a super-node is formed having more than two sockets available for connection with nodes not running on the multitasking computing system.
