| 20090185486 | Method for controlling traffic balance between peering networks - A method that measures ratio, relative to a peering network, of traffic burden of incoming traffic to traffic burden of outgoing traffic, where traffic burden takes into account traffic volume and distance that the traffic traverses through the network. A determination is made from this ratio as to whether an imbalance exists with the peering network. With the assistance of a simulation of changes in routing policy and their effects, an existing or impending imbalance is remedied by changing the routing policy relative to particular customers, for example from a “hot potato” routing policy to a “best exit” routing policy. | 07-23-2009 |
| 20100149979 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING ADAPTIVE LOAD SHARING TO BALANCE NETWORK TRAFFIC - A method for implementing adaptive load sharing to balance network traffic. The method begins by identifying all paths in a network between a first provider edge and a second provider edge. Next determining jitter, packet delay, and packet loss for each identified path in the network. Then utilizing the jitter, packet delay, and packet loss values, calculating a usage value for each path in the network. The usage value corresponds to the percentage of all network traffic which a specific path in the network may manage. When data is received by the first provider edge, the provider edge selects the appropriate path for the data. The appropriate path being the path with the largest usage value which is currently not managing a percentage of the network traffic that is equal to its usage value. | 06-17-2010 |

| 20120008497 | Method of bandwidth allocation in resilient packet ring network and associated computer-readable storage medium - A method of bandwidth allocation in a Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) network includes: congestion degree of a present node in the RPR network is determined. There is an upstream node and a downstream node of the present node in the RPR network. A present local arrival rate of local traffic flows of the present node from at least one client is obtained.

The determiner is configured to determine a mean value of a duty cycle of the certain priority at the port provided by the transmission or flow control. The adjusters are configured to adjust the primary rate limits for the transmission rates of the data flows having the certain priority based on the determined mean value of the duty cycle to obtain the secondary rate limits. | 10-04-2012 |
| 20130336114 | USING THE MAINTENANCE CHANNEL IN A MOBILE DATA NETWORK TO PROVIDE SUBSCRIBER DATA WHEN A CACHE MISS OCCURS - A mobile data network includes a radio access network and a core network. A first service mechanism in the radio access network breaks out data coming from a basestation. When data is broken out by the first service mechanism, the data is delivered at the edge, which means the true activity of the channel is not visible to the core network. In order to maintain the high-speed channel, channel maintenance data packets are sent to and from the radio network controller on the network tunnel. The maintenance channel is also used to send cache miss data to a subscriber when a cache miss occurs at the edge of the mobile data network, without regard to a need for channel maintenance data packets. | 12-19-2013 |
