Abstract:
Multiple voice channels are aggregated into a packet having a segmented data structure and sent over a packet network. The segmented data structure includes segment IDs, corresponding data segments and a packet header arranged so that all data is aligned on 8-byte boundaries for efficient processing by 64-bit processors. The data segment represents one or more milliseconds of digitized voice data, and the segment ID explicitly identifies the voice channel associated with the digitized voice data without reference to any other data in the data structure.
Abstract:
A method for inverse multiplexing of managed traffic flows over a multi-star switch network includes a source node classifier. The source node classifier, using a traffic-engineering algorithm, classifies incoming traffic based on flow parameters, embeds the flow parameters in a routing table in a node for a flow, places packets from classified flows into Switch-Specific Managed-Traffic Queues (SSMT) and a source node unmanaged traffic queue. A source node switch input scheduler process for a switch selects all managed packets from the SSMT destined for the switch, then selects a single unmanaged packet from the source node unmanaged traffic queue. The source node transmits the packets as classified flows through a switch fabric to the destination node. At the destination node packets transmitted through the switch fabric are sorted by a Switch Output Process and sent to intended output queues.
