Patent number: 11184460Abstract: A transfer device includes: a determination unit configured to determine, if a data packet including content and list information is received as a response to a transferred request packet, whether or not the content can be transmitted to a transfer device that has transmitted the request packet, based on an identifier of the transfer device that has transmitted the request packet and the list information. The list information included in the data packet is generated based on an identifier of a transfer device to which the content included in the data packet can be transmitted, of a plurality of transfer devices in the content distribution system, or is generated based on an identifier of a transfer device to which the content included in the data packet cannot be transmitted.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2019Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: KDDI CORPORATIONInventors: Kenji Yokota, Jun Kurihara, Atsushi Tagami

Patent number: 7894465Abstract: A channel-switching multicast distribution apparatus in a system for providing channels by multicast. The apparatus includes a device for receiving multicast data of a first multicast group for a first channel; a device for storing the received multicast data; a delaying device for reading the stored multicast data, and delaying the data by a predetermined time; and a transmission device for transmitting the delayed data through a second multicast group for performing channel switching so as to select the first channel. Instead of the delaying device and the transmission device, a data rearranging device for reading the stored multicast data, and rearranging the data so as to change the order of packets thereof; and a transmission device for transmitting the rearranged data through a second multicast group for performing channel switching so as to select the first channel may be provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2007Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Assignee: KDDI CorporationInventors: Chikara Sasaki, Teruyuki Hasegawa, Atsushi Tagami

Patent number: 7321560Abstract: The present invention detects a failure location of network in the Internet. A pair of networks consists of an access network and an Internet service provider network, and a route consists of a source pair of networks and a destination pair of networks. The quality information values are inputted to elements in a matrix that all pairs of networks are put in same order as rows (or columns) of source pairs of networks and columns (or rows) of destination pairs of networks. If inferior quality values in the matrix line up in the row (or column), a failure is determined in a destination (or a source) pair of networks in column side (or row side) corresponding to a row (or a column). If inferior quality values line up in a slanting direction, a failure is determined in a route between the Internet service provider networks indicated to the slanting direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2004Date of Patent: January 22, 2008Assignee: KDDI CorporationInventors: Shigehiro Ano, Atsuo Tachibana, Atsushi Tagami, Toru Hasegawa

Patent number: 7151751Abstract: Data of traffic with long-range dependence characteristics is generated by a host terminal and transferred to a memory arranged on a board. The memory stores the traffic data comprising at least one of the number of IP packets output per unit time and total number of bytes, a set value of each parameter of the generated IP packets (i.e., packet length table) and an IP address table. A packet generation section refers to the data in the memory to generate traffic with long-range dependence characteristics at a speed corresponding to a high-speed network. As a result, the behavior of the network at the time of application of the load can be measured before the actual use of the network. According to the present invention, a traffic generation apparatus that can supply the actual network with a load close to the real traffic can be provided.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2001Date of Patent: December 19, 2006Assignee: Kiddi CorporationInventors: Atsushi Tagami, Teruyuki Hasegawa, Toru Hasegawa, Kouji Nakao, Hiroki Furuya, Hajime Nakamura

Publication number: 20050152364Abstract: This present invention provides a traffic control system which adapts a P2P traffic to the circuit capacity and topology of a physical network. In a traffic control portion, a correspondent node identifying portion monitors the header of a packet exchanged by each P2P traffic and identifies the attribute of a correspondent node. A monitoring object extracting portion extracts a P2P connection based on the identification result. A traffic amount measuring portion obtains the total amount of each P2P traffic which is a monitoring object. A connection selecting portion selects a connection which should be shut down based on the total traffic amount. A filter portion shuts down the shut-down object connection selected by the connection selecting portion of the traffic monitoring portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2005Publication date: July 14, 2005Applicant: KDDI CORPORATIONInventors: Atsushi Tagami, Teruyuki Hasegawa, Toru Hasegawa
