    Abstract: A non-quota access indicator is circulated among nodes in a multi-node quota based communication system with a shared resource, indicating maximum possible non-quota access to the shared resource to a given node receiving same. Upon arrival at a node, the indicator is saved and then updated to reflect the current status of that node as either starved or satisfied, the former being a condition of currently having quota remaining and a shared resource access requirement, and the latter being a condition of either currently having no remaining quota or having no current shared resource access requirement. After updating, the node immediately propagates the indicator to the next node in the system. When a node without quota requires access to the shared resource, it compares its requirement to the last stored indicator and accesses the shared resource if the stored indicator is equal to or greater than the access requirement.

    Abstract: A fast bandwidth reservation method and system used in packet-switched networks that reserve bandwidth for a data transfer over links in a path between a source node, at least one intermediate node, and a destination node with minimal latency where the source node desires to send data to the destination node along the specific path using at least a minimum bandwidth and up to a maximum bandwidth. The goal of the method and system is to reserve bandwidth for a data transfer in the minimal amount of time. No link on the path between the source node and destination node has more band-width allocated for the source node than the minimum allocated for the previous forward links on the path. Links on the path between the source node and destination node have their bandwidth allocation for the data transfer adjusted based on the final minimum bandwidth allocated for the data transfer.

    Abstract: In a data communications network the routing of data items from a group of eight source processors to a group of eight destination processors is controlled by code values assigned to each of the data values. The data items to be routed are bit-serial binary signals. These are encoded by the source processor using a pair of code values, one for each value of a bit of the binary signal. The eight source processors each encode eight bit-serial signals using respectively different code tables. The code tables are generated as different permutations of a basic code set. Each code table has the property that any additive combination of encoded values for all of the data items in a group produces a unique sum. The eight encoded values produced by each processor are summed to produce a set of analog channel symbols that are transmitted over an analog channel to a central switch fabric. In the switch fabric, the channel symbols are partially decoded to recover the encoded data values. The data values are regrouped according to their destination processors and summed to produce further sets of channel symbols which are transmitted to the destination processors. At the destination processors, the data values are completely decoded and assigned to separate input terminals of the destination processors based on their source processor.
