    Abstract: A solution for migrating a software image installed on a source data- processing entity to a target data-processing entity is proposed. A corresponding migration method (A310-A310;A410-A410;A510-A510;A610-A610) includes the steps of booting (A306;A406;A506;A606) the target data-processing entity from a preliminary bootstrap program providing a standalone preliminary operative system, mounting (A307;A407;A507;A607) the software image as a remote mass memory on the target data-processing entity, copying (A308;A408;A508;A608) a primary bootstrap program of the software image onto a local mass memory of the target data-processing entity, the primary bootstrap program including a streaming function adapted to migrate the software image to the target data-processing entity, re-booting (A309;A409;A509;A609) the target data-processing entity from the primary bootstrap program on the local mass memory thereby loading the streaming function, and serving (A310;A410;A510;A610) each request of accessing a memory block on the target data-processing entity by the streaming function, the streaming function downloading (718-730) the memory block from the software image and storing the memory block into the local mass memory in response to a lacking of the memory block in the local mass memory, or retrieving (733) the memory block from the local mass memory otherwise.

    Abstract: Es wird eine Lösung zum Migrieren eines auf einer Quell-Datenverarbeitungseinheit installierten Software-Abbilds auf eine Ziel-Datenverarbeitungseinheit vorgeschlagen. Ein entsprechendes Migrationsverfahren (A310-A310; A410-A410; A510-A510; A610-A610) beinhaltet die Schritte des Booten (A306; A406; A506; A606) der Ziel-Datenverarbeitungseinheit aus einem vorläufigen Ureingabeprogramm, das ein eigenständiges vorläufiges Betriebssystem bereitstellt, des Bereitstellens (A307; A407; A507; A607) des Software-Abbilds auf der Ziel-Datenverarbeitungseinheit als Fernmassenspeicher, des Kopierens (A308; A408; A508; A608) eines Haupt-Ureingabeprogramms des Software-Abbilds auf einen lokalen Massenspeicher der Ziel-Datenverarbeitungseinheit, wobei das Haupt-Ureingabeprogramm eine Streaming-Funktion beinhaltet, die dafür geeignet ist, das Software-Abbild auf die Ziel-Datenverarbeitungseinheit zu migrieren, des erneuten Booten (A309; A409; A509; A609) der Ziel-Datenverarbeitungseinheit aus dem Haupt-Ureingabeprogramm auf dem lokalen Massenspeicher, wodurch die Streaming-Funktion geladen wird, und, des Bedienens (A310; A410; A510; A610) jeder Anforderung über das Zugreifen auf einen Speicherblock auf der Ziel-Datenverarbeitungseinheit durch die Streaming-Funktion, wobei die Streaming-Funktion den Speicherblock aus dem Software-Abbild herunterlädt (718 bis 730) und als Reaktion darauf, dass der Speicherblock in dem lokalen Massenspeicher fehlt, den Speicherblock in dem lokalen Massenspeicher speichert oder andernfalls den Speicherblock von dem lokalen Massenspeicher abruft (733).

    Abstract: A method and an electronic unit are disclosed for controlling traffic on a network, especially for controlling peer-to-peer related traffic. A filter unit is intercepting messages related to peer-to-peer application from a network line, irrespective of the messages' destination, A control logic then manages a request represented by an intercepted message subject to its content and subject to peering specific information.

    Abstract: Address management methods and apparatus are provided for a node serving as peer group leader for a peer group of nodes in one level of the hierarchy of a PNNI hierarchical network, whereby the peer group leader represents the peer group to one or more neighboring nodes in the next level up of the hierarchy. The peer group leader has a memory (2) for storing peer group topology data (4), comprising address data which is supplied to the peer group leader from nodes in the peer group and represents addresses for access by the network, and peer group leader topology data (5), comprising address data which is supplied to said neighboring nodes by the peer group leader and represents addresses accessible via the peer group. The address management method comprises: checking whether addresses represented by said address data are accessible via the peer group; notifying said neighboring nodes of changes in the accessibility of addresses so identified; and updating said peer group leader topology data (5) in accordance with said changes.

    Abstract: The object of the invention is to perform an automatic decomposition of a packet switching network in backbone nodes and subareas nodes to speed up the routing path search without degrading the optimization criterion of the routing algorithm and without generating additional control messages on the network. Currently, routing algorithms compute all the available paths in the network, from the source node to the destination node before to select an optimal route. However, networks are rarely fully meshed. They are usually built around a hierarchical structure : a set of nodes, interconnected by high throughput lines, are used to build a backbone with a high degree of meshing and then, local nodes are grouped in geographical subareas themselves attached to the backbone. Routing algorithms can take advantage of this particular network topology to drastically reduce the complexity of paths computation. For a given connection, only a limited number of nodes are defined as usable and are taken in account by the algorithm in its path calculation.
