Abstract: A network detection method links multiple nodes residing in a network topology to form multiple edges and creates snake paths through the edges using a snake algorithm. The routing frequencies of each of the snake paths is calculated, and software-defined network (SDN) policy flows to each of the nodes are produced and applied. The health and performance status, and available bandwidths, of the snake paths are dynamically detected via packet flows using a pathChirp bandwidth detection method.

Abstract: A time-domain temperature sensing system includes a cyclic delay line, a path selection circuit and a counter. The cyclic delay line includes a plurality of logic components connected. The path selection circuit connects with the cyclic delay line and the counter connects with the path selection circuit. The cyclic delay line is operated to sense and convert a temperature into a time pulse to generate a temperature-related time pulse width signal, and the cyclic delay line is further operated to measure the temperature-related time pulse width signal via the path selection circuit. The cyclic delay line is operated to convert the temperature into the time pulse and the counter is further operated to convert the temperature-related time pulse width signal into a digital signal via the path selection circuit, thereby generating a temperature-to-digital signal.
