Publication number: 20140286168Abstract: Each of the nodes included in an ad-hoc network determines whether an identifier indicative of high-priority data is included in data received from another node. When the identifier is included in the received data, each of the nodes determines whether the subject node is a device that relays the received data to a destination. When determining that the subject node is a device that relays the received data to the destination, each of the nodes transmits the received data to the destination. When determining that the subject node is not a device that relays the received data to the destination, each of the nodes suppresses data transmission to the nodes included in the ad-hoc network.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2014Publication date: September 25, 2014Inventors: Mitsuharu AMANO, Makoto Kawatoko, Yasuhiro Kurogi, TAKAYUKI OKAMASU, Yayoi Nomura

Publication number: 20140286169Abstract: Routers in a communications network mark packets of a multi-priority stream to establish a drop precedence of the packets during network congestion. For each packet received, a router employs one of two types of packet-marking mechanisms to associate low drop precedence with a high-priority, out-of-profile packet. One type, called “token bucket with loan bucket,” uses a token bucket to determine whether a packet is in conformance, i.e., in-profile, with a traffic profile and at least one loan bucket to determine whether a high priority, out-of-profile packet may borrow bandwidth. Another mechanism type, called “token bucket with color-exchange queue,” uses a color-exchange queue to delay packet forwarding for a fixed period. During this delay, a high-drop-precedence marking of an out-of-profile, high-priority packet may be exchanged with a low-drop-precedence marking of an in-profile, low-priority packet. The packet-marking mechanisms are useful in improving the quality of video viewing.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2014Publication date: September 25, 2014Inventor: Emre Gunduzhan

Publication number: 20140286172Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for the repair of IP multicast sessions. A repair server polls multiple transmit servers to accumulate as many of the packets missing from the multicast session as possible. A network includes a source of multicast packets in a multicast session and a plurality of multicast recipients in that session. A repair server in the network provides the packets it receives to the recipients. The repair server includes a missing packet detector. There is a plurality of retransmit servers in the network buffering portions of the packets they respectively receive during the session. The repair server maintains an ordered list of the retransmit servers that are most likely to have buffered copies of packets missing from the session. When the repair server detects that there are packets missing from the session it has received, it uses the ordered list to sequentially request the missing packets from respective ones of the plurality of retransmit servers.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2014Publication date: September 25, 2014Inventors: Nicholas Frank Maxemchuk, David McManamon, David Hilton Shur, Aleksandr Zelezniak
