Patent number: 8428056Abstract: A method and apparatus for creating and using multiple redundant paths between endpoints in a scheduled communication network, and for sending copies of data down each path. A path calculation is made for one or more redundant paths between designated branch and merge points in a network using scheduled switch/routers, and duplicate packets are transmitted along each path to the merge point. The first packet received among the configured paths at the merge point is forwarded to a resulting data stream and the later (duplicate) copies from other paths are discarded. Path itineraries are configured to maintain temporal packet sequence in the resulting stream. Path status is monitored and additional paths can be substituted if a path has an outage. Alternatively, multiple divergent paths can be configured, and duplicate packets transmitted along each path, where at least one path delivers data between end points, and a monitoring path also transmits copies of the data to an alternate location.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2002Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Avaya, Inc.Inventors: Steven A. Rogers, Howard C. Reith, Dale J. Wisler

Patent number: 7876692Abstract: A method of transmitting packets over a network includes steps of transmitting a first plurality of test packets during a first plurality of time locations that are coarsely spaced apart in time; determining which of the first plurality of time locations corresponds to favorable network traffic conditions; transmitting a second plurality of test packets over the network during a second plurality of time locations that are finely spaced apart in time, wherein the second plurality of time locations are selected on the basis of favorable network traffic conditions; determining which of the second plurality of time locations corresponds to favorable network traffic conditions; and transmitting data packets over the network using one or more favorable time locations determined by the finely spaced test packets. The method can be used to “zero in” on congested network periods by detecting differences in packet latencies among test packets.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2008Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: NDS Imaging Holdings, LLC.Inventor: Steven A.

Patent number: 7764665Abstract: A system for guaranteeing bandwidth for transmitting data in a network. A path generation engine determines a data paths across a network according to preselected criteria. A scheduling engine determines schedule appointments for data packets to traverse each link in the network including compensation for transmission delays and switch latencies. Scheduling data is communicated to schedule-aware switches and endpoints so that appointment times are reserved for transmission of the scheduled data packets. Real-time transmission of data can be guaranteed in both directions along the transmission path.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2002Date of Patent: July 27, 2010Assignee: Avaya Inc.Inventors: Steven A. Rogers, Scott Ball, Joseph Greenwald
