Abstract: Disclosed are network management procedures that apply measurements of traffic load to achieve greater efficiency in the operation of the network. In a method for deciding whether to route an incoming call on a selected potential servi ce route, the potential service route is treated preferentially if each of its links h as available capacity that is more than sufficient by a specified margin. In a method for computing billing revenues, the non-compliance of the network service provid er with contracted requirements for carried load causes a revenue penalty to be exacted for lost bandwidth.

Abstract: We describe a method for solving the joint problem of optimal routing a nd optimal bandwidth allocation in a network that supports plural subnetworks a nd plural communication services. Our method involves, for each source-destination pai r communicating via a given subnetwork and a given class of service, determini ng a traffic rate to be offered to each of a set of permissible routes between that sourc e and that destination, in the given subnetwork and service class. Our method further involves allocating a respective bandwidth to each link of each subnetwork. Significantly, the determinations of traffic rate to be offered, and the allocations of bandwid th to respective links of subnetworks, are performed in a mutually responsive manner.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for a multi-port node having a shared buffer memory to provide enhanced data packet buffering capacity for established virtua l circuits (VC's) through the node and one of its output ports while maintaining grades of service commitments. The method admits incoming data packets to a node for an established VC based on a determination of combination of factors including the effective memory requirements for each output port as VC's are created or terminated, the portions of buffer memory in use for conveying packet s through the intended output port for the incoming packet, and the total amount o f available shared memory in the node. Such determinations enable the node to better decide whether admitting the incoming packet would cause a disproportionate allocation of the shared memory for the intended output port. A s a consequence, a relatively high packet buffering capacity can be achieved substantially without violating grades of service commitments.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for a multi-port node (110) having a shared buffer memory (240) to provide enhanced data packet buffering capacity for established virtual circuits (VC's) through the node and one of its output ports (220) while maintaining grades of service commitments. The method admits incoming data packets to a node for an established VC based on a determination of combination of factors including the effective memory requirements for each output port as VC's are created or terminated, the portions of buffer memory in use for conveying packets through the intended output port for the incoming packet, and the total amount of available shared memory in the node. Such determinations enable the node to better decide whether admitting the incoming packet would cause a disproportionate allocation of the shared memory for the intended output port. As a consequence, a relatively high packet buffering capacity can be achieved substantially without violating grades of service commitments.

Abstract: The traffic shaping system according to the principles of the present invent ion increases the connection-carrying capacity of a network node by shaping the data cells to increase the admissible number of connections. In accordance with certain embodiments of the present invention, the traffic shaping system uses a data buffer at the ingress of the network node to selectively buffer classes of data cells. As such, the traffic shaping system exploits differences in delay tolerances between traf fic classes to shape the less delay sensitive traffic classes to reduce the effective bandw idth of a connection of the particular traffic class and thereby increase the nodal connection-carrying capacity. Certain embodiments of the traffic shaping sys tem operate within a framework to provide parameters for the traffic shaping system which increas e the connection-carrying capacity for the node while meeting quality of service requirements for the data cells. In accordance with certain embodiments, an integrated regulator and shaper is provided which concurrently regulates and shapes the traffic cells to increase the nodal connection-carrying capacity.

Abstract: A packet network employs routers that determine network routing based on quality of service (QoS) provisioning parameters and network topology information. QoS provisioning parameters are provided to each router from a network management database, and the network topology information is determined from a link state database of the router. The link state database may include network topology information collected by the router in accordance with the open shortest path protocol (OSPF). A network link, router, or other node failure initiates a new path-selection process. First, a temporary set of provisioning entries may be determined with a shortest path first (SPF) routing method. Then, the network packet flows may be classified into packet flows, real-time and non-real-time, and then as packet flows that require reserved bandwidth or that may be multiplexed. A multicommodity flow (MCF) routing method is then employed to determine an optimized set of candidate provisioning entries for the packet flows that may be multiplexed. The MCF routing method determines new routing for the packet flows based on QoS provisioning commitments as parameters. The MCF routing method determines the new routing based on an optimization criterion, such as maximized revenue. Once the new routing is determined, routing of network traffic is enabled by converting the provisioning entries into filter rules, which are then loaded into the packet classifier of the router.

Abstract: A method of operating a network by sharing resources associated with various classes among calls in the various classes according to a state dependent reservation parameter. Nominal amounts of one or more resources are allocated to each call class. When a call of a class of service operating in the network requires resources in excess of those allocated to the class, resources allocated to other classes of service are advantageously shared with the class of service. The sharing is based on a reservation parameter associated with the class of service of the call. The reservation parameter is advantageously a function of the network state. The role of the reservation parameter is to protect underloaded classes (i.e., those classes not using all of their allocated nominal capacity) from excessive borrowing by overloaded classes (i.e., classes using more than their allocated nominal capacity). More generally, the inventive method is used to determine if sufficient resources are available for routing calls and to route calls based on the determined available resources.
