TLDR
In this paper, the authors present a method and system that allows one or more network protocol emulators, composed of one ormore network protocol emulation controllers and oneor more network emulation entities, which are overlaid onto the base networks utilizing different communications protocols for the purpose of allowing said one/more networks to be accessed and utilized as if the one/ more networks were utilizing protocols emulated by the one / more network emulators.Abstract:
Provided are a method and system that allow one or more network protocol emulators, composed of one or more network protocol emulation controllers and one or more network protocol emulation entities, which are overlaid onto the one or more base networks utilizing different communications protocols for the purpose of allowing said one or more networks to be accessed and utilized as if the one or more networks were utilizing protocols emulated by the one or more network protocol emulators. The method and system utilize the following steps. Apprising the one or more network protocol emulation controllers of network capability information inherent within protocols utilized by the one or more networks onto which the one or more network protocol emulation controllers are overlaid. Directing that the one or more network emulation controllers utilize the one or more network capability information of which they have been apprised to define communication capabilities for certain network protocol emulation entities within the control of the one or more network protocol emulation controllers. Directing either the one or more network protocol emulation controllers or the one or more certain network protocol emulation entities within the control of the network protocol emulation controllers to utilize such defined communications capabilities to ensure that the network protocol emulation entities do not request a communications link to one or more other network protocol emulation entities that substantially exceeds the defined communication capabilities of the one or more other network protocol emulation entities.read more

System for and method of differentiated queuing in a routing system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method for routing Internet traffic that includes the steps of receiving a packet from multimedia network, allocating a message block header for the packet, wherein the header is used to hold behavior aggregate values for internal router mapping, and queuing and routing the packet to a differentiated services network domain in a manner that ensures a specific QoS.

Utility-based multi-category quality-of-service negotiation in distributed systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the client agent selects at least one of the QoS specifications to be included into an offer for a QoS agreement based on the expected utility calculation, and the client monitors a connection to the server agent for either an acceptance, a rejection, or a counteroffer to the offer.

Patent
Data transmission apparatus and method
TL;DR: In this paper, a data transmission apparatus comprises an estimation device to estimate a transmission condition of the transmission channel in the transmitter based on at least Jitter information or a packet loss rate obtained from the receiver, and a controller to change the bit rate of transmission data and a error resilience level according to the estimated transmission condition.

Method and system for applying cluster-based group multicast to content-based publish-subscribe system
Guruduth Banavar,Lukasz Opyrchal +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a group-based multicast system for content-based publish-subscribe is proposed. But the multicast groups are used to forward an event to consumers within the content-oriented PU system by multicasting the event up to C times, each multicasting being to a different cluster of multicast clusters.

Bridging and signalling subsystems and methods for private and hybrid communications systems including multimedia systems
Robert T. Bell,Richard J. Platt +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a subsystem for communicating a private network signalling message over a packet network and bridges for communicating an isochronous signalling frame over a nonisochronic network, which consists of an encapsulation circuit coupled to a transmitting user station, capable of receiving the private network signaling message from the transmitting user stations, the encapsulating circuit encapsulating the signalling message within, and adding source and destination addresses to, a routable protocol frame, the packet network thereby simulating a point-to-point connection between the transmitting and particular receiving user stations.

Method of loose source routing over disparate network types in a packet communication network
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a loose source routing protocol for wireless networks, which employs an ordered list called a path and the network address of a packet consists of such a list of addresses with a "marker" that flags the current destination of the packet and a "direction bit" that tells which direction on the list the next destination is.
