摘要： A trouble analysis apparatus is provided which includes: a system topology storing portion; an error detection information receiving portion which collects error detection information; and a trouble source determination portion which, based on both the error detection information collected by the error detection information receiving portion and system topology information stored in the system topology information storing portion, determines a trouble source functional element that is presumed as a functional element which is a source of a system trouble. Links included in the system topology information have information indicating spreading directions of error operations between the functional elements when trouble occurs. When the trouble source detection portion receives the error detection information with regard to multiple error functional elements, the trouble source determination portion sequentially selects one of the multiple error functional elements. The trouble source detection portion determines whether or not directions from the selected error functional element to other error functional elements conform to the spreading directions included in the system topology information. The trouble source determination portion determines the selected error functional element as the trouble source functional element when the spreading directions are conformable.

摘要： A local-memory side data transfer unit increments the number of addresses, reads out data from a local memory, and stores the data into a cache memory of a remote-memory side data transfer unit. For preventing data mismatching with the local memory from being stored into the cache memory, a cache clearing operation is executed in units of an elapse of a round trip time period for data transfer between the local memory and the remote memory. Alternatively, the cache clearing operation is executed upon receipt of a signal notifying data transfer of data stored at a specified address.

摘要： Any packet loss is detected very quickly by means of only a series of sequence number in a multi-path environment where a transmitter and a receiver are connected to each other by way of a plurality of networks when no inversion of sequence arises in any of the networks. A communication apparatus includes a plurality of sequence buffers arranged at each network to accumulate packets until a sequence acknowledgement and an absence detecting section adapted to determine the occurrence of an absence of a packet when one or more packets are accumulated in all the sequence buffers. With this arrangement, the absence detecting section of the receiver monitors the packets staying in the sequence guaranteeing buffer arranged in each of the network, paying attention to the characteristic that packets are stored in the sequence buffers of all the networks when a packet loss takes place.
