摘要:
A communication system for use with a network for transmitting fixed-length cells from a transmitting terminal via a virtual connection in the network to a receiving terminal. The communication system includes a converting device, connected to the transmitting terminal or the receiving terminal, for performing a bi-directional conversion between a variable-length packet and the fixed-length cells, the transmitting terminal or the receiving terminal outputting the variable-length packet, a buffer capacity monitoring device in the receiving terminal for monitoring a capacity of a buffer in the receiving terminal receiving the fixed-length cells and for outputting an alarm signal at the time of detecting a congestion state of the capacity of the buffer, a congestion state alerting device in the receiving terminal responsive to the alarm signal from the buffer capacity monitoring device for outputting an alert signal to the transmitting terminal, and a traffic transmission control device in the transmitting terminal responsive to the alert signal from the congestion state alerting device in the receiving terminal for controlling a transmission of the fixed-length cells to the receiving terminal.
摘要:
A communication system for transmitting a fixed-length cell converted from a variable-length information including data and a destination of the data. The system includes a cell assembly/disassembly device for performing bi-directional conversion between the variable-length information and the fixed-length cell, a routing control device for receiving the fixed-length cell converted from the variable-length information by the cell assembly/disassembly device, for analyzing the destination of the data and for controlling a routing of the fixed-length cell based on the analyzed destination, and having an error detecting device for detecting an error of the variable-length information in the fixed-length cell, and a network for connecting the cell assembly/disassembly device and the routing control device by a fixed capacity path and for connecting the routing control device to another routing control device by the fixed capacity path or a variable capacity path.
摘要:
The object of the present invention is accomodating local connectionless information (data that is immediately transferred without establishing a path to a receive side), such as LAN data in a local area network, by an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network using a connection-oriented communication system (which makes data transfers after verifying that a path to the receive side has been established), thereby performing efficient, fast routing of connectionless information. A connectionless communication system of the present invention is equipped with connectionless information cell assembly/deassembly means for bi-directional conversion between variable-length connectionless information and fixed-length connectionless cells, routing control means for analyzing a destination address of information in connectionless cells and controlling the routing of the connectionless cells; and an ATM network for connecting the connectionless information cell assembly/deassembly means and the routing control means by a permanent virtual channel serving as a fixed path and connecting the routing control means together by a virtual channel serving as a semi-fixed path, whereby connectionless information is segmented into connectionless cells and the connectionless information is exchanged within the ATM network in connectionless cell units.
摘要:
A communication controller at the sending computer divides data transferred from a host into sub-ACK unit packets and transfers them sequentially to a destination without waiting for the sub-ACK's being subsequently provided by the destination. A communication controller at the receiving computer issues a sub-ACK to the sending computer for each of the sub-ACK unit packet, if the sub-ACK packet has been normally received and otherwise issues retransmission request for the sub-ACK unit packets and merges data included in the sub-ACK unit packets into the initial data, after they are normally received.
