20090310610 | Packet-Layer Transparent Packet-Switching Network - Packet forwarding systems and methods allow packet-layer transparent, multi-stage packet forwarding among a set of network access points. Packet forwarding across networks utilizing the invention is directly controllable through the upper-layer nodes, e.g. routers, interconnected by such transparent packet forwarding networks. The systems and methods provide packet-layer routing, switching and forwarding look-up-table free and transparent forwarding of label-encapsulated multi-protocol packet traffic among a set of routers. The invention enables flexible and efficient packet multicast and anycast capabilities along with real-time dynamic load balancing and fast packet-level traffic protection rerouting. The invention replaces the need for packet forwarding look-up-tables in a router interconnect network by a set of rules using which such network forwards packets directly based on their forwarding labels inserted in the packet headers by the routers exchanging packets through said network, thus simplifying network management and equipment implementation, and facilitating optimization of packet traffic flow across communications networks. | 12-17-2009 |
20090310486 | NETWORK DATA TRANSPORT MULTIPLEXER BUS WITH GLOBAL AND LOCAL OPTIMIZATION OF CAPACITY ALLOCATION - Systems and methods enable maximizing network data throughput via optimizing network capacity allocation. The network throughput maximization system comprises a network transporting data from source nodes to a destination node of the network, buffers for buffering data bytes to be sent from the source nodes to the destination node, and distributed algorithms performed by the destination and source node that cyclically optimize allocation of the network capacity among the source nodes according to the amounts of data bytes written in the buffers at the source nodes. The network data transport capacity allocation optimization method comprises steps of buffering at network source nodes data bytes to be transported to a network destination node, and cyclically optimizing by the destination and source nodes the data transport capacity allocation among the source nodes based on the relative volumes of bytes written in the source node buffers associated with the destination node. | 12-17-2009 |
