Patent number: 11366149Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the determination of impedances in an electrical network. Methods and apparatuses for determining one or more impedances within a root and branch network are disclosed. The impedance of a common root part and the impedance of a branch of the electrical network may be determined based on the current in the common root part, the current in a branch of the electrical network and the voltage across the common root part and the branch. By determining the impedance of different parts of the electrical network in this way, the network may be monitored over time and the location of any faults or impending faults in the network may be identified more exactly without requiring invasive network probing and testing.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2020Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: Analog Devices International Unlimited CompanyInventors: John Stuart, Seyed Amir Ali Danesh, Luca Martini

Patent number: 8867349Abstract: In an embodiment, a method is provided for regulating network traffic and virtual private networks. In this method, network traffic transmitted along multiple communication paths is received, and these communication paths are associated with forwarding identifiers. A portion of the forwarding identifiers is identified to match a particular forwarding identifier associated with a particular virtual private network. At the same time, the policy associated with the particular virtual private network is identified. A portion of the network traffic that is associated with the portion of the identified forwarding identifiers can then be regulated based on the policy.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2009Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Luca Martini, James Neil Guichard
