  • Method for the control of flows within an ATM switch with distributed architecture
    Patent number: 6606302
    Abstract: A method for the control of flows particularly within an ATM switch transmission network with a distributed architecture. The method distributes a specified number n of shapers to each input line card, a specific shaper being dedicated to the VBRnrt (Variable Bit Rate non real time) category flows as a function of the totalized mean bit rate, and n−1 other shapers being adjusted as a function of the available bit rate (AVCR) of the output ports.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 20, 1998
    Date of Patent: August 12, 2003
    Assignee: Thomson-CSF
    Inventors: Michel Delattre, Marc Bavant, Didier Guerin, Philippe Herau
  • METHOD FOR THE CONTROL OF FLOWS WITHIN AN ATM SWITCH WITH DISTRIBUTED ARCHITECTURE
    Publication number: 20020145977
    Abstract: The method consists in distributing a specified number n of shapers (91 . . . 9n) to each input line card (7i), a shaper being dedicated to the VBRnrt (Variable Bit Rate non real time) category flows as a function of the totalized mean bit rate and the n−1 other shapers being adjusted as a function of the available bit rate (AVCR) of the output ports. Application to ATM transmission networks.
