Abstract: Delayed caching receives an evaluation interval to delay updating the objects stored in a delayed cache, delays a time period corresponding to the evaluation interval, and updates the objects stored in the contents of the delayed cache when the time period delay has completed. The configuration operation for the delayed cache selects a time interval to sample a trace having object access frequencies for objects stored in a cache, creates a first working set of objects accessed during the time interval and a second working set of objects accessed during a subsequent time interval based on the historical trace, determines that the difference between the objects contained in the first and second working sets does not exceed a maximum threshold with the selected time interval, and sets a evaluation interval for evaluating the contents of the cache to the selected time interval.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus, system and method for transmitting asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) data cells on an ATM adaptation layer (AAL) configured connection within an ATM system comprising a digital signal processor (DSP) sub-system (160) and a host processor (190). The transmitter interfaces directly with the DSP sub-system (160) (which converts the digitized voice samples into voice signals) and the host processor (190) (which performs AAL2 signaling and layer management functions). The transmitter is configured to interleave AAL2 voice packets from the DSP sub-system (160) and signaling and management packets from the host processor (190) on an ATM connection. Data is fetched by DMA(s) (415). A channel look-up table uses the DSP assigned voice channel as an index into the table to map a voice channel to the ATM connection.

Abstract: A mobile station decreases its transmit bit rate in response to a determination that its transmit power has exceeded an alarm-power threshold. The mobile station increases its bit rate in response to a determination that its transmit power is below a lower-power threshold. Lower-power threshold and alarm-power threshold delays can be employed to prevent ping-pong effects and avoid unnecessary throughput degradation. A dynamic lower-power threshold can be employed in which the mobile station estimates or predicts its transmit power if it were to increase its transmit bit rate and increases its transmit bit rate only if this can be performed without exceeding the alarm-power threshold.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and system for buffering data in a communication network with an arranged priority which enables traffic shaping. A cell buffer unit (600) is arranged with a plurality of queues (614) configured to store PDUs on-chip and off-chip. There are associated queues both on-chip and off-chip for each priority queue. A cell buffer controller (620) forwards PDUs to a predetermined priority queue and manages the transfer of PDUs off-chip when a priority queue on-chip is fully occupied. The controller (620) also manages the transfer of PDUs from the off-chip queue when the on-chip priority queue becomes less than fully occupied.

Abstract: A method and system for workload-aware request in cluster-based network servers. The present invention provides a web server cluster having a plurality of nodes wherein each node comprises a distributor component, a dispatcher component and a server component. In another embodiment, the present provides a method for managing request distribution to a set of files stored on a web server cluster. A request for a file is received at a first node of a plurality of nodes, each node comprising a distributor component, a dispatcher component and a server component. If the request is for a core file, the request is processed at the first node (e.g., processed locally). If the request is for a partitioned file, it is determined whether the request is assigned to be processed locally at the first node or at another node (e.g., processed remotely). If the request is for neither a core file nor a partitioned file, the request is processed at the first node.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a method for detecting client aborted connections from web access logs produced by web servers. The present embodiment utilizes the following two fields of the logs: the requested web document name and the number of bytes transferred by the web server of that requested document. Specifically, the present embodiment first determines the real size of the web document from the log information. Once determined, if another transferred bytes value is less than the real size, the document was either modified or the client aborted the connection. The present embodiment filters out the document modifications from the aborted connections by relying on the assumption that modifications to a document generate one change in transferred bytes followed by the same size for a time while an aborted connection will manifest itself as a one time change in the number of transferred bytes.

Abstract: The present invention provides a unitary mechanism for high speed end-to-end telecommunication traffic using an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) architecture for convergence of video, data and voice in an SOHO application using a DSL router. An ATM module (101) for convergence of the telecommunications traffic includes an ATM processor (120) configured to perform QoS, OAM processing and switching in an ATM system. Function modules (102,104,105) and data ports (106,108) are configurable to transceive data, voice and video traffic in which the traffic is packetized in ATM data cells.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus, system and method for receiving asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) data cells on an ATM adaptation layer (AAL) configured connection within an ATM system comprising a digital signal processor (DSP) sub-system (412) and a host processor (414). The receiver interfaces directly with the DSP sub-system (412) (which converts the digitized voice samples into voice signals) and the host processor (414) (which performs AAL2 signaling and layer management functions). The receiver filters the AAL2 signaling and management packets from the AAL2 voice packets using a host programmable CID filter (550) and UUI filter (560). A match from either filter (550,560) enables the packet to be forwarded to the host processor (414). If no match is made in either filter (550,560), then a look-up is performed in a receive CID look-up table and the packet is forwarded to the DSP sub-system (412) on a look-up match.

Abstract: A system for accelerated data recompression in which uncompressed data need not be swapped in and out of memory at each iterative data recompression step. The data recompression system includes a main memory for storing image data, and a decompression device which receives compressed data from the main memory and decompresses it to produce discrete blocks of uncompressed data. An intermediate compression buffer, separate from the main memory and connected to the decompression device, is used by the decompression device to store one block of uncompressed data at a time. The blocks of data are received one at a time by a data compression device taking input directly from the intermediate compression buffer. There the uncompressed data blocks are compressed and stored back to the main memory one block at a time. Thus, an entire compressed image stored in main memory is decompressed and recompressed one block at a time, and uncompressed data need not be swapped in and out of main memory.

Abstract: A programmable interrupt delay in a communication circuit enables accurate timing of an interrupt delay without tying up processor CPU cycles in the execution of a delay loop. The interrupt delay comprises a memory containing the program delay value. A communication circuit which generates an interrupt output corresponding to the transmission of a communication data stream is coupled to a timing circuit having a time value. This timing circuit also has a timing start input, which triggers timing of the timing value upon receipt of the interrupt output. A comparator coupled to the memory and to the timing circuit compares the time value to the delay value and generates a delayed interrupt when the time value and the delay value are equal.
