  • Method and apparatus for processing of regulated connections in a communication network
    Patent number: 7136352
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for controlling the transmission of packets over a communication link in a network. The invention in accordance with one aspect thereof determines a number of packet transmission connections supportable for a given buffer size in a node of the network while maintaining one or more specified quality of service requirements for packet transmission. This determination in the case of homogeneous input sources utilizes a combined approximation of a maximum number of supportable connections for a range of buffer sizes, the combined approximation being generated as a combination of a first approximation for small buffer sizes and a second approximation for large buffer sizes. The invention can also be used to determine an optimal operating point on a buffer-capacity tradeoff curve for each of a number of different types of heterogenous input sources.
