Abstract: A system and method identifies the costs to be assigned to each link in a network that can more evenly balance the utilization of links in the network.

Abstract: A system and method allocates dropped packets from a call detail record in a voice over Internet Protocol to links or nodes the call traversed, and to events that occurred during the call and prefixes corresponding to the phones used in the call, along with a report in decreasing order of the dropped packets for the nodes, links, events and prefixes, to allow a system administrator to help identify the source of the dropped packets.

Abstract: A system and method enables the balancing of inter-AS traffic from a primary AS to a target AS by adding a virtual node in the primary AS that appears connected to the edge routers that advertise via (I)BGP the ability to forward communications the target AS, and modifying the (I)BGP messages reflected to the primary AS to indicate that only the virtual node may forward communications to the target AS.

Abstract: A network device identifies a non-adaptive flow as follows. The network device drops packets on a random basis using a Random Early Detection (RED) algorithm. A classifier reads indicia of a flow from at least one field of a header of a packet received by the network device. The network device calculates a drop interval for packets of the flow dropped by the RED algorithm, in response to a time at which the packets were dropped. The network device then applies a statistical test to drop intervals of a plurality of flows in order to identify the non-adaptive flow.

Abstract: In a multiprocessor system, a system and method assigns communications to processors, processes, or subsets of types of communications to be processed by a specific processor without using a locking mechanism specific to the resources required for assignment. The system and method can reschedule processes to run on the processor on which the assignment is made.

Abstract: A system and method impedes attacks on route processors in an autonomous system using one device with a routable IP address that checks the format of routing messages and forwards them to one or more route processors without routable IP addresses.

Abstract: In a multiprocessor-system, a system and method assigns communications to processors, processes, or subsets of types of communications to be processed by a specific 5 processor without using a locking mechanism specific to the resources required for assignment.

Abstract: In a multiprocessor-system, a system and method assigns communications to processors, processes, or subsets of types of communications to be processed by a specific processor without using a locking mechanism specific to the resources required for assignment.

Abstract: A system and method initiates secure sessions without occupying a process on the server until the premaster key is received from the client.

Abstract: A system and method allocates ranges of addresses that are reachable by more than one border router to one of the border routers capable of reaching those ranges of addresses and advertises those addresses as being reachable only by the border router to which each such range of addresses were assigned.

Abstract: A VTMS queue scheduler integrates traffic shaping and link sharing functions within a single mechanism and that scales to an arbitrary number of queues of an intermediate station in a computer network. The scheduler assigns committed information bit rate and excess information bit rate values per queue, along with a shaped maximum bit rate per media link of the station. The integration of shaping and sharing functions decreases latency-induced inaccuracies by eliminating a queue and feedback mechanism between the sharing and shaping functions of conventional systems.

Abstract: A system and method provides communications to processes, handles transmissions of communications received from processes, and allows other manipulations of transmissions upon request by processes without an operating system call.
