摘要:
The invention relates to a method of operating an interface device (IWF) for connecting a first telecommunication subnetwork (ISDN) operated in synchronous time-division multiplex mode (ISDN) with a fixed assignment of time slots to transmission channels using a first signaling protocol (SI1), to a second telecommunication subnetwork (ATM) operated in a statistical multiplex mode (ATM) with a transmission capacity assigned to each connection by free agreement using a second signaling protocol (SA1), the interface device performing a conversion between the first signaling protocol and the second signaling protocol, wherein during each connection setup the signaling is converted in such a way that the number of transmission channels (Ch1, . . . Ch6; Ch20, . . . , Ch30) reserved in the first subnetwork (ISDN) for the connection to be set up and the transmission capacity assigned to said connection in the second subnetwork (ATM) are adapted to one another, as well as an interface device and an exchange with such an interface device.

A system and method providing prioritized service on a computer network such as the Internet is disclosed. A user requests a service upgrade from their Internet Service Provider (ISP). In response to the service upgrade request, the ISP marks request packets sent by the user as priority packets and also records the upgraded service in a billing database. When the user no longer needs upgraded service, he requests that normal service resume. During normal service, packets are marked as normal priority packets and the customer is billed at a normal, or flat, rate. Routers and other packet handling devices provide preferential handling of the packets marked as priority packets. When a router's queue is full, the router drops normal priority packets before dropping any higher priority packets. In addition, a queue manager can organize the router's queue so that high priority packets are processed before their normal priority counterparts.

In an SPC PBX, a frame bit is inserted at periodic intervals to each of time-slot sequences from output ports of a time switch to form primary rate frames and the frame bit is then removed from each primary rate frame, producing time-slot sequences which are multiplexed and framing bits are inserted to form an outgoing secondary rate frame for transmission. An incoming secondary rate frame is received and framing bits are removed therefrom and demultiplexed into incoming primary rate time-slot sequences. A frame bit is inserted to each of the incoming primary rate time-slot sequences and the frame bit is then removed before being supplied to input ports of the time switch. The frame bit insertion and removal allows the use of current design primary rate interfaces, so that secondary rate interfaces can be installed without altering the operating software of the switch.
