Patent number: 7471699Abstract: In a network including an optical link transporting packet streams of successive optical packets separated by voids, the station includes a transmission device (13) coupled to the link at an insertion point in order to inject optical packets into the link. At a detection point on the link, upstream of the insertion point, a detection device (11) observes the packet streams transported to this detection point. As a function of this observation each packet awaiting transmission and transmitted by the transmission device (13) causes the formation at the insertion point of a downstream packet stream containing the transmitted packet interposed between first and second packets delimiting a void of the upstream stream. The detection device (11) forms a transmission control signal (ACK) such that in the event of transmission as a function of this control signal, any transmitted packet is attached to at least one of the first and second packets.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2005Date of Patent: December 30, 2008Assignee: AlcatelInventors: Laurent Ciavaglia, Nicolas Le Sauze, An Ge

Patent number: 7372814Abstract: A network system (10). The system comprises a first network node (N6), and the node comprises an input (30IN) for receiving packets. During operation, the first network node operates as a downstream node when receiving packets at the input from an upstream node (N5). The node also comprises a buffer (30), coupled to the input and for storing received packets, and circuitry (32) for detecting when a number of packets stored in the buffer exceeds a buffer storage threshold. The node also comprises circuitry (32), responsive to a detection by the circuitry for detecting that the number of packets stored in the buffer exceeds the buffer storage threshold, for issuing a message to the upstream node. The message selectively commands the upstream node to reduce a rate of transmission of packets from the upstream node to the downstream node to a non-zero rate.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2003Date of Patent: May 13, 2008Assignee: Alcatel-LucentInventors: Girish Chiruvolu, An Ge
