  • Patent number: 6914886
    Abstract: The present invention provides for controlling incoming traffics on the links to an autonomous system. Incoming traffic usage for blocks of IP addresses within an autonomous system and load, congestion and capacity of the links for the incoming traffic is monitored to determine the optimal link for incoming traffic destined for a block of IP addresses. Incoming traffic for a block of IP addresses is biased towards the optimal link by configuring the border routers to announce the block of IP addresses via Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) across the non-optimal links with one or more local AS numbers pre-pended, causing the non-optimal links to look as if they are of a greater routing distance than the optimal link. In addition, outgoing traffic for a session is separately controlled by tagging the packets of the session for a specific link, causing the router to send the packet out the optimal link.

  • Patent number: 6914483
    Abstract: A signal is sampled at a stage following a first amplifier circuit (12, 14, 16) and preceding a second amplifier circuit (20, 22), and the presence or absence of a signal is detected by a detector circuit (30). When the presence of a signal is detected, a gate bias circuit (32) switches a gate bias for FETs in the second amplifier circuit (20, 22) to a normal operating voltage value, and when the signal is no longer detected, the gate bias is switched to a voltage value that reduces power consumption, after a mask time has elapsed. In a distortion feedback-type high-frequency amplifier circuit, a means for cutting off a circuit portion for the adjustment of each of a distortion extracting circuit and an inverse distortion adding circuit is achieved by switching FET gate voltage so as to put the corresponding amplifier in a virtually cutoff condition.
