摘要:
The present invention provides improved relay equipment including at least one port, through which packet transfer is executable, an information-containing unit containing target-to-be-used information and availability information, in which the target-to-be-used information distinguishes the at least one port between a target port for use in the packet transfer and a non-target port therefor, but the availability information distinguishes the at least one port between an usable port for use in the packet transfer and an unusable port therefor, a determining unit operable to determine an available port for use in the packet transfer from the at least one port in accordance with the target-to-be-used information and the availability information, and a relaying unit operable to execute the packet transfer through the available port. The improved relay equipment according to the present invention allows for the transfer of only packets having a communication rate equal or smaller than a bandwidth of each transmission link, and packet transfer without packet delay and without packet discard is achievable.
摘要:
A resource request is continuously accepted within predetermined time by a resource management device that comprises a resource request accepting unit, a measuring unit, and an allocating unit. The resource request accepting unit accepts a resource request that is necessary for communication. The resource request includes priority of communication. The measuring unit measures the accepting time when the resource request accepting unit accepts the resource request. The allocating unit allocates resource to the resource request accepted in accepting time based on priority. As a result, suitable resource allocation according to the priority instead of the order of arrival is realized.
摘要:
The present invention introduces a plurality of resource management devices (M1)-(M4). Each resource management device comprises a resource reservation information transmitting unit (205) and a resource reservation information receiving unit (206). Thus, even when one of the resource management devices is inactivated, the resource management can be continued. Since reserved resource information is shared among a plurality of resource management devices, if exist, the resource management can be performed without contradiction. Processing load can be decentralized by processing a resource reservation request by the plurality of resource management devices.
