Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that, multiple functions of a multi-function device (MFD) such as a controller that can perform multiple functions, are entirely independent of each other so that each appears to the system as a separate device. SOLUTION: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for reading configuration information from a multi-function device (MFD), building a dependency tree of a functional dependency of functions performed by the MFD based on the configuration information, which indicates that the MFD is capable of performing at least one function dependent upon another function, and loading software associated with the functions in order based at least in part on the indicated functional dependency. Other embodiments are described and claimed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment provides monitoring on a system flow statistics to identify one or more non-compliant traffic flows on the system, each of the one or more non-compliant traffic flows having packets; assigning a tag to each of the one or more non-compliant traffic flows, each of the tags corresponding to one of at least one congestion management policy; and applying one of the tags to each of the packets associated with any of the non-compliant traffic flows.
