  • Method for Managing Multicast Traffic in a Data Netwrok and Network Equipment Using Said Method
    Publication number: 20130195107
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for managing multicast traffic in a data network, and network equipment using said method. Hosts (1, 2, 3, 4a, 4b, 4c) receive from a network interface of a router (9) traffic sent by sources (12, 13) in a multicast group. The hosts and the router communicate with one another by means of a multicast host-router communications protocol by means of which the hosts send to the router messages to request multicast traffic from sources in a multicast group. The router (9) receiving one of said messages obtains in said message identifying data which identify the host that has sent said message, and said router (9) stores in specific records for each network interface of the router, host and multicast group information about the sources the traffic of which has been requested by said host in said messages sent to the router (9).

    Abstract: A method for analyzing spectrometric measurements, said measurements C={c1, . . . , cr} being organized in a histogram, said histogram being made up of accumulation channels, a channel j corresponding to an energy interval Bj, comprises at least three processing steps. A first step determines, for each accumulation channel j, distributions p representative of the amplitude and Z representative of the position of the Dirac pulses that make up the normalized spectrum of peaks as well as distributions q representative of the Pólya tree characterizing the normalized background spectrum, said elements being obtained by Gibbs sampling. A second step detects significant channels, said detection being performed by application of a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for each accumulation channel of the histogram on the basis of the results of the first step.
