  • 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

  • Measure and recording of traffic parameters in data transmission networks
    Patent number: 7020167
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for measuring and recording traffic at nodes in a data transmission network. In particular the invention provides a method of accurately counting individual activities of traffic at individual nodes. The invention is carried out in hardware by using a counter or number of counters which count individual activities of traffic on a preset activity condition being sensed at a node. The invention has the advantage that accurate measurement of traffic at a node is achieved. The invention is also easy to implement in hardware and overcomes the problems inherent in present software solutions.
