Patent number: 11902167Abstract: An object is to provide a communication apparatus, a communication method, and a program capable of avoiding an increase in network load when input traffic continues to be large and a communication delay when input traffic is very small. A communication apparatus according to the present invention prepares three token buckets and can transfer, discard, or hold a packet in accordance with the amount of tokens in each token bucket. This enables the communication apparatus to operate so as not to exceed a set maximum bandwidth when large traffic is received for the delay guarantee shaping. Further, When the maximum bandwidth is exceeded, the communication apparatus can select whether to discard a packet to prioritize a delay guarantee or to hold a packet to prioritize no loss of packets. Furthermore, the communication apparatus can immediately transmit a packet without increasing a communication delay when input traffic is very small.Type: GrantFiled: July 4, 2019Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATIONInventors: Tatsuya Fukui, Katsuya Minami, Yuki Sakaue, Hiroyuki Furukawa

Patent number: 7321594Abstract: An output port circuit is provided for a router apparatus which routes and transmits a received packet. Each flow is constituted by continuous packets and belongs to a bandwidth-guaranteed class or a best-effort class. A controller controls storage and reading of a packet into and from a storage unit. Upon allocating a basic volume that is a criterion of a memory size stored in the storage unit to each flow to which the packet to be transmitted belongs, the controller manages the basic volume of each flow of the packet belonging to the bandwidth-guaranteed class by individually allocating the basic volume by the memory size required by each flow, and manages the basic volume of each flow of the packets belonging to the best-effort class by collectively allocating the memory size obtained by subtracting a sum of respective basic volumes allocated to the bandwidth-guaranteed class from an entire memory size.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2003Date of Patent: January 22, 2008Assignee: Semiconductor Technology Academic Research CenterInventors: Koso Murakami, Hideki Tode, Kazuhiko Kinoshita, Katsuya Minami

Patent number: 6899650Abstract: A hydraulic automatic tensioner for adjusting the tension of a bell includes a first member with a piston formed integrally, a second member combined with the first member and axially movable relative to the first member, a cylinder formed integrally with the second member, together defining a fluid-reservoir chamber for hydraulic fluid, axially slidably receiving the piston, and a spring pushing the members apart. The piston and cylinder form a pressure chamber filled with hydraulic fluid. The second member has a leak passage through which fluid flows from the pressure chamber into the fluid-reservoir chamber. A control valve is placed in the leak passage, inhibiting flow of fluid from the pressure chamber into the fluid-reservoir chamber. A control device moves the control valve to close the leak passage when activated and makes it ineffective when deactivated so that the pressure chamber communicates with the fluid-reservoir chamber via the leak passage.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2003Date of Patent: May 31, 2005Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazuma Okuda, Katsuya Minami, Shigeru Aoki, Tadashi Fujiwara, Shogo Yonemoto
