In one embodiment, for example, a method includes receiving data associated with a UUI. determining that the UUI has reached an EOSL condition in response to data indicative of an increasing rate of non-random failures, and invoking an EOSL process in response to the existence of an EOSL condition. The UUI may be any unit under investigation, such as a mechanical, electromechanical, or electrical component, sub-system, or system within, for example, a network.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2007Publication date: January 1, 2009Inventors: Eric Jonathan Bauer, John F.

Patent number: 7180863Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for congestion management in a multi-branch Internet Protocol-based private branch exchange switch. The multi-branch Internet Protocol-based private branch exchange switch is interconnected through (i) a packet network referred to as the primary network, such as a wide area network, and (ii) an alternate network, such as the public switched telephone network. Packet phone adapters associated with each packet telephone unit monitor packet telephone calls and report delay information to communication servers. The communication server can reroute the packet telephony calls through the secondary network upon detection of congestion in the underlying primary network, thereby preserving voice quality. The packet phone adapter will discard records collected from calls whose duration is below a minimum value, to ensure reliable congestion information. Each communication server records reported voice quality of service information in a congestion control database.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2000Date of Patent: February 20, 2007Assignee: Avaya Technology Corp.Inventors: Eric Jonathan Bauer, Wassim A.

Patent number: 7020263Abstract: A network monitoring agent is disclosed that monitors network conditions, such as traffic volume, and determines when to dynamically adjust the encoding scheme for one or more connections. The network monitoring agent can select an encoding standard based on, for example, current network traffic volume, network error characteristics, time of day or day of week. In the illustrative network traffic implementation, an encoding standard that provides a lower degree of compression and a higher quality level is selected at times of lighter network traffic. Likewise, as network traffic increases, an encoding standard that provides a higher degree of compression, although at a lower quality level, is selected in order to maximize the network utilization. The network monitoring agent notifies one or both of the devices associated with each connection of changes in the encoding scheme. Generally, both devices must change the compression algorithm at the same time, to ensure proper decoding of received packets.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2001Date of Patent: March 28, 2006Assignee: Avaya Technology CorpInventors: Eric Jonathan Bauer, Yuk-Ming Peter Lam, John Orleanski

Patent number: 6735193Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for notifying a far-end calling party when a near-end calling party utilizes a hold or mute feature. The present invention reduces bandwidth utilization by suppressing the transmission of packets during periods of extended silence. Each packet telephony device includes a packet suppression system that monitors local terminal activity and notifies the far-end party that the near-end device is discarding the “listen” stream. In addition, the disclosed packet suppression system monitors the incoming packets and processes such notifications from the far-end party that the far-end device is discarding the “listen” stream. In response, the packet suppression system can suppress the transmission of further packets and optionally activate a music-on-hold feature for the held party.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 1999Date of Patent: May 11, 2004Assignee: Avaya Technology Corp.Inventors: Eric Jonathan Bauer, Fang-Fe S. Huan, Yuk-Ming Peter Lam

Patent number: 6650745Abstract: A media exchange monitor is disclosed that selectively (i) introduces a mixer into a two-party call when the two-party call becomes a conference call (ad-hoc conference), and (ii) removes the mixer when one or more conference call participants drop out, leaving only two participants behind. When a party to a two-party call requests to convert the call into a conference call, the packet telephony system responds to the conference call request by connecting a mixer to service the conference call between the parties. When parties drops out of a conference call, leaving only two parties behind, the mixer is removed from the conference call. In one implementation, the mixer is removed from the conference call only if the two remaining parties can exchange media directly. When the media connection among the parties must be changed to introduce or remove the mixer, the media exchange monitor achieves the desired connectivity by initially querying the parties for their capabilities.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 1999Date of Patent: November 18, 2003Assignee: Avaya Technologies Corp.Inventors: Eric Jonathan Bauer, Prakash Iyer, Yuk-Ming Peter Lam

Patent number: 5819047Abstract: A method for authorizing the allocation of a resource of a computing system to a user on a network-wide basis using network-wide quotas. When a resource consumption request is received by an authority, a network-wide maximum-use quota amount of the resource that is associated with the user is compared to a network-wide resource amount that is in-use by the user. The requested amount of the resource is allocated on a network-wide basis based on when the requested amount of the resource and the network-wide resource amount in-use by the user together do not exceed the network-wide maximum-use quota amount of the resource associated with the user.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1996Date of Patent: October 6, 1998Assignee: AT&T CorpInventors: Eric Jonathan Bauer, Russel W.
