摘要:
A method of transmitting data from customers (C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, C10) over a computer network, in particular over the Internet, where the data to be sent is split into packets, in particular into IP packets, where each packet is marked by one of at least two states (IN, OUT) and where the states (IN, OUT) determine which packets are dropped first, if packets are dropped during transmission, is, with regard to optimizing the drop rate of the packets, characterized in that the marking of the packet with a state of high drop precedence (OUT) is based on a random probability (p).
摘要:
A method for supporting admission control and/or path selection in a communication network, the network including a plurality of wireless communication links, possibly of different link technologies, established between a plurality of network nodes, includes the steps of partitioning the communication links of the network into groups of communication links—link groups—, assigning each link group an associated link group controller that is configured to observe and/or measure the performance and/or quality of the link group, based on the observations and/or measurements, computing estimates of metrics for the capacity of the respective link group and the costs for using each of the communication links of the respective link group, and transmitting the estimates to at least one resource management entity being configured to take admission control and/or path selection decisions on the basis of the estimates. A communication network with admission control and/or path selection supporting functionality is described.
