摘要:
A ring topology based architecture for a local area network. The transmission medium is unshielded twisted-pair wire. A set of two such twisted-pairs are used to connect the nodes of the network together, with the transmit twisted-pair wires from one node being connected to the receive twisted-pair wires of the next node. When a node of the network is powered up, a relay is opened which disconnects the incoming receive lines from the outgoing transmit lines. This brings the node on line. The relay is controlled via software command and a timer which is used to take a preceding node off-line for a predetermined period in the event jabber from that node is detected. A 16 byte FIFO bypass built into the medium access control hardware of the system is used to reduce the ring latency which normally results from the need to store entire data packets at each node, prior to the packet being forwarded. The FIFO bypass is used to detect the source and destination addresses for the data packets, and to determine if a packet should be forwarded along the ring. If a node is transmitting a packet when it receives a new packet, the incoming data is buffered until the current transmission is completed. This avoids the collision problem common in bus topologies.

The dynamic synchronous transfer mode dual ring topology has two rings with opposite fiber directions. The dual rings may have a plurality of common nodes. A first channel may be established in a first segment extending between a first and second nodes. Tokens associated with the first channel may be provided. In this way, time slots may be transmitted in the first channel from the first node to the second node. If a fiber failure occurs in the first segment, the second node is likely to first detect the fiber failure and transmit a fiber failure message. It is then determined if the first channel extends across the fiber failure. If the first channel is affected by the fiber failure then a channel failure message is transmitted and the first channel is terminated and all the tokens associated with the first segment are removed. If the first channel is not affected then time slots are continued to be transmitted on the first channel.

A token ring network performs address to port mapping by taking advantage of the abilities of the port switched modules and the neighbor notification process, in order to perform address to port mapping on each individual module. Ring monitors are switched from an upstream side of a port to a downstream side of a port when the neighbor notification process enters the port domain. The processor on the module records all the addresses received on the downstream side of the port, when the neighbor notification process is in the domain of that port. If it appears that the neighbor notification process is in the domain of two adjacent ports, the present invention only records addresses from the most downstream of the two adjacent ports, since such a situation is an indication that the upstream ports do not conform to MAC protocol. If a non-protocol station is connected to the last port in a module, the module will collect addresses from that port until the neighbor notification process enters the most upstream port of the module. At that point, addresses are no longer recorded in the most downstream port, and each set of addresses for each port are checked to determine if the last entry in each port has the ARI bits set to one and the source address is similar to the address of the most upstream neighbor of the module. If the addresses are the same, all addresses recorded in that port are ignored, since that port contains a non-protocol station.

A control command, which has a command header sequence and a sequence of n parameters, is generated in a data source of a local network. The control command has a variable length defined by the data source. The control command is passed to the ring data line of the local network and is forwarded to a data sink. This data sink contains a control unit, a picture output unit, an interface and a memory, in which video data are stored. The video data can be read out and displayed on the picture output unit. The control command has n parameters of which the first m parameters are interpreted by the control unit. The number m is determined by the properties of the data sink and is independent of the properties of the data source. Using the m interpreted parameters, specific video data are read from the memory and are reproduced. The invention relates to a local network having a plurality of subscribers, which are connected to one another through the use of an optical data line for transmitting audio, video data and/or control data. The subscribers, together with the optical data line, form a ring network.

The present invention describes a method for configuring a station connected to a field bus, wherein a logical address is allocated to said station. The method comprises the steps of: transmitting said logical address from an address-allocation unit to said station; transmitting a physical address from said address-allocation unit to said station, said physical address corresponding to an assumed physical position of said station relative to said field bus; verifying said physical address being transmitted to said station based on an actual physical position of said station relative to said field bus; and storing said transmitted logical address in a memory of said station depending on the verification of said physical address.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for token distribution include providing one or more nodes of a plurality of network nodes with a token machine that includes counters associated with each of other network nodes having a token machine. Each time a token possessing network node implicitly or explicitly passes the token to another network node having a token machine, counter values of each of the counters associated with each node having a token machine are adjusted. When a token is passed, the counter value of the receiving node is adjusted based, at least in part, on an initial token interval value, and counter values associated with other nodes are adjusted toward a threshold value. The decision as to where the token is passed may be based, at least in part, on the value of a counter and/or an assigned counter priority level. The system or method also may include priority slots in which the token is unconditionally passed to a node assigned the priority slot, and an ARQ scheme for acknowledgment of transferred information.

The present invention discloses a method for ensuring service classes of packet services, which includes limiting the rate of services with different service classes uploaded to a ringlet from an RPR station in accordance with the RPR physical packet lengths; monitoring, in real time, the rate of non-class A0 services uploaded to the ringlet from the RPR station and forwarded by the RPR station in accordance with the RPR physical packet lengths, and when the rate of the non-class A0 services exceeds the un-reserved rate of the RPR network, reporting a congestion message and adjusting the rate of the non-class A0 services uploaded to the ringlet from the RPR stations in the congestion domain. A method of rate limitation is also disclosed, by which rate limitation is conducted based on a Token Bucket according to the total length of the sent packet after encapsulation. The methods, by means of rate limitation and rate monitoring of the services uploaded to the ringlet from each RPR station according to the RPR physical packet length, can effectively overcome the shortcoming that the reserved bandwidth in the RPR can not be ensured because forwarded services unexpected occupy the bandwidth of the services uploaded to the ringlet at a downstream RPR station due to the physical layer encapsulation overhead.
