Abstract:
A method and system is disclosed for performing a pattern match search for a data string having a plurality of characters separated by delimiters. A search key is constructed by generating a full match search increment comprising the binary representation of a data string element, wherein the data string element comprises all characters between a pair of delimiters. The search key is completed by concatenating a pattern search prefix to the full match search increment, wherein the pattern search prefix is a cumulative pattern search result of each previous full match search increment. A full match search is then performed within a lookup table utilizing the search key. In response to finding a matching pattern within the lookup table, the process returns to constructing a next search key. In response to not finding a matching pattern, the previous full match search result is utilized to process the data string.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus and program products for controlling a flow of a plurality of packets in a computer network are disclosed. The computer network includes a device defining a queue. The methods, apparatus and program products include determining a queue level for the queue and determining an offered rate of the plurality of packets to the queue. They also include controlling a transmission fraction of the plurality of packets to or from the queue, based on the queue level, the offered rate and a previous value of the transmission fraction so that the transmission fraction and the queue level are critically damped if the queue level is between at least a first queue level and a second queue level. Several embodiments are disclosed in which various techniques are used to determine the manner of the control.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and system for illustrating relations among filter rules for a computer system. SOLUTION: The computer system is provided with a display device. Priority is placed on each of the filter rules. The method and system includes permission of introducing at least one filter rule among the filter rules and illustration of 1st parts of the filter rules onto the display device. The display device hierarchically displays the 1st parts of the filter rules based on each of the 1st parts of the filter rules. When the 1st parts of the filter rules include the filter rules crossing each other as shown in Figure, the crossing filter rules are illustrated in a way that one intersection between at least one filter rule with higher priority and at least one filter rule with lower priority is illustrated, and at least the one filter rule with the higher priority and at least the one filter rule are illustrated such that the one filter rule with the higher priority takes precedence over at least the one filter rule with lower priority.

Abstract:
The decision to discard or forward a packet is made by a flow control mechanism, upstream from the forwarding engine in the node of a communication network. The forwarding engine includes a switch with mechanism to detect congestion in the switch and return a binary signal B indicating congestion or no congestion. The flow control mechanism uses B and other network related information to generate a probability transmission table against which received packets are tested to determine proactively whether a packet is to be discarded or forwarded.
