Publication number: 20040208527Abstract: A performance management unit manages a primary interface and a standby or secondary interface to two channels of an optical communications network having APS capabilities. Each performance parameter is associated with three counters. First and second counters are linked to registers of the primary and the secondary ports, and the third counter is linked to the registers of the currently active port. When a protection switch occurs, the first and second counters are immediately read and reset. The third counter continues accumulating data, but becomes associated with the new active port. At the end of a read interval, the third counter correctly reflects the number of data received, regardless of switchovers between the primary and secondary channels.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2002Publication date: October 21, 2004Applicant: Corrigent Systems Ltd.Inventors: Sharon Mantin, David Zelig, Shmuel Ilan, Leon Bruckman

Publication number: 20020116522Abstract: A method for managing a buffer includes receiving a stream of data fragments into the buffer, at least some of the fragments being arranged in packets, each such packet comprising a last fragment. While a fill level of the buffer remains below a first threshold, the received fragments are accepted into the buffer. When the fill level of the buffer increases above the first threshold, the buffer continues to accept the received fragments until the last fragment in one of the packets is received or until the fill level of the buffer increases above a second threshold, greater than the first threshold. When the last fragment in one of the packets is received, the fragments that are received thereafter are discarded until the last fragment in another, subsequent one of the packets is received and the fill level of the buffer is no longer above the first threshold. The buffer then continues to accept the received fragments.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2001Publication date: August 22, 2002Applicant: ORCKIT COMMUNICATIONS LTD.Inventor: David Zelig
