  • Patent number: 9407561
    Abstract: Traffic engineering vector operations that are capable of being independently solved can provide near-linear scalability through the exploitation of massively parallel processing. Optimization can be performed simultaneously on different paths in a data plane, as well as on different links within the same path (or within the same set of paths). In some embodiments, the traffic engineering vector operations include an adjustable alpha-fairness variable that allows managers to achieve different levels of fairness/throughput. Hence, embodiment alpha fairness techniques provide flexible policy execution, while maintaining excellent scalability for large network implementations.

  • Publication number: 20080225780
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and system for management of a wireless communication network in which the system has a plurality of access nodes. A distributed hash table (“DHT”) is created. The DHT contains mobility management data of mobile devices using the wireless communication network. The DHT is stored across at least a portion of the plurality of access nodes.

  • Patent number: 4078724
    Abstract: A rail mounting assembly is disclosed including clip members which is some cases have formable portions for effecting engagement with a base plate to retain the clip member in position on a crosstie with the base plates on opposite sides of the rail being connected by an anchor means extending internally of the crosstie. Another aspect of the invention involves clip members and base plates having engageable serrated surfaces clamped together by a bolt received in a threaded anchor in a concrete crosstie so that loosening and subsequent tightening of the bolt permits the adjustment of the clip members with respect to the radial base flange and another embodiment in which a clip is held in position by a bolt in the anchor member in the crosstie with the clip having a coined surface canted at an angle to accommodate rail tilt and sawtooth serrations engaging the bolt head for preventing loosening of the bolt member.
