  • Data networks
    Patent number: 7388867
    Abstract: A data network in which at least one switch is provided with the facility for estimating current network demands using a polygonal approximation to scaled cumulant generating function. The approximation is iteratively refined in accordance with sampled data passing through the switch. The switch estimates the demand associated with a new data processing request as it is received by the switch and decides whether to accept the request based on available resources.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 18, 2004
    Date of Patent: June 17, 2008
