  • Publication number: 20230275677
    Abstract: An interference detection system comprises memory storing computer instructions to cause a processor to perform gathering a temporal snapshot of radio parameter values associated with a first site of a point-to-point radio system, the radio parameter values including at least a receive signal level (RSL) value and at least one other radio parameter value correlated with signal degradation; determining whether the RSL value is greater than an RSL threshold; determining whether the other radio parameter value indicates a threshold level of signal degradation; when the RSL is greater than the RSL threshold and the other parameter indicates a threshold level of signal degradation during the temporal snapshot, determining that external interference is present during the temporal snapshot; when the RSL is not greater than the RSL threshold, determining that the external interference is not present; and performing a responsive action to a determination of the external interference being likely present.

  • Patent number: 7630358
    Abstract: A mechanism is disclosed for enabling a plurality of logical routers to be implemented within a single physical router. The logical routers emulate the behavior of interconnected, standalone routers. For example, the logical routers may be made aware of the presence of other logical routers within the same physical router. The logical routers may also have internal “links” to each other. In addition, the logical routers may send routing information to each other. Thus, to each other and to routers external to the single physical router, the logical routers appear as if they are interconnected standalone routers. The logical routers may be further endowed with an ability to determine whether the next hop for a set of information (e.g. a packet) is to a logical router within the same physical router or to an external router. The logical routers take advantage of this distinction to perform routing between logical routers more efficiently.
