摘要： A method for marking data packets of a data transmission flow pertaining to an end-to-end connection within a packet network is disclosed. The priority value is calculated based on at least one service quality parameter attributed to the data transmission flow, and upon a network feedback parameter indicative of the state of congestion within the packet network. A marker device adapted for performing the method is described as well.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for use in a telecommunication system to generate an acceptance decision during a decision cycle that comprises whether to accept an incoming packet of a data stream or not in a buffer (BUF). The incoming packet (P) has a drop priority (DP) being one of a plurality of arranged drop priorities. The method comprises determining for a drop priority parameter (DPP) an actual drop priority parameter value (DPPact) out of the plurality of drop priorities; and comparing the drop priority parameter (DPP) with the drop priority (DP) of the packet (P) in order to generate the acceptance decision. The method further comprises that the step of determining the actual drop priority parameter value (DPPact) comprises determining a previous drop priority parameter value (DPPprev) by means of any one of an initial value (DPPinit) and a previous actual drop priority parameter value (DPPact′) having been determined during one of a previous decision cycle; and updating a queue occupancy variable (Q) as a function of a previous re-scaled queue occupancy value (RE-Qact′) having been determined during one of a previous decision cycle and providing thereby an intermediate queue occupancy value (Qint); and re-calculating the intermediate queue occupancy value (Qint) of the queue occupancy variable (Q) in function of instantaneous queue occupancy information (INF-Qins) of the buffer (BUF) and providing thereby an actual queue occupancy value (Qact); and comparing the actual queue occupancy value (Qact) with any one of a minimum threshold (Tmin) and a maximum threshold (Tmax) and providing thereby a result (RES (UP; DO; REM)); and according to the (RES (UP; DO; RET)) re-scaling the actual queue occupancy value (Qact) and the previous drop priority parameter value (DPPprev) and providing thereby, respectively, a re-scaled queue occupancy value (RE-Qact) and the actual drop priority parameter value (DPPact).

摘要： The present invention relates to a marking determining method and a related device for determining a packet marking of packets of an incoming packet-flow, in order to keep the packets in conformance with a traffic policy. The determining is based on an actual value of a traffic reservation parameter, while the traffic reservation parameter is a measure of available network resources dedicated to packets of said incoming packet-flow having a pre-assigned priority. The determining further is based on the pre-assigned priority of the packets of the incoming packet flow. The marking method a first steps of holding a threshold value for the traffic reservation parameter, while the threshold value is lying between a minimum and a maximum value of the traffic reservation parameter. A second step is the metering the actual value of the traffic reservation parameter and a last step of determining the packet marking of the packets only based on the actual value of the traffic reservation parameter if the actual value of the traffic reservation parameter exceeds the threshold value for the traffic reservation parameter.

摘要： Customer triggered resource reservation requests (131) are granted or refused in an access node (104) on the basis of available resources on downlinks (102) between the access node (104) and customer premises, and eventually uplinks (105) between the access node (104) and an aggregation network (106). Network triggered resource reservation requests (121) are granted or refused in a central resource admission control device (108) on the basis of knowledge of available resources in the aggregation network (106) and the contents of an admission control report (123) received from the access node (104). The admission control report (123) is generated by the access node (104) on the basis of available resources on downlinks (102) between the access node (104) and customer premises, and eventually uplinks (105) between the access node (104) and an aggregation network (106). The access node (104) thus coordinates the granting and refusing of customer triggered resource reservation requests (131) and network triggered resource reservation requests (121) for the downlinks (102) and eventually the uplinks (105) extending from this access node (104).

摘要： Method for securing communication in a local area network switch (AN) comprising a user interface (UI) and a network interface (NI), comprises the steps of extracting a source address (MACi) from each packet received by said Local area network switch (AN) and storing said address (MACi) together with associated information into a address forwarding table (FT) comprised in said Local area network switch (AN) is characterised in that a distinction is made between source addresses received from the user interface (UI) and the network interface (NI), such that upon detecting that a source address (MACi) contained within a newly received packet at the user interface (UI) was already stored as a source address received at the network interface (NI), said newly received packet will be discarded and its source address contained therein will not be stored within said address forwarding table (FT).
