Abstract
Methods and systems for resource management in a fast packet switching communication network are disclosed. A packet containing an address field identifying a source endpoint and a destination endpoint is received. A bandwidth constraint based upon the source endpoint, but independent of the destination endpoint, is enforced for the packet. In a communication network wherein a plurality of virtual connections are provisioned from a single source endpoint to a plurality of destination endpoints, the bandwidth constraint is associated with bandwidth usage over all of the virtual connections.

Adaptive bandwidth throttling for network services

TL;DR: In this paper, the adaptive bandwidth throttling system implements a graceful diminution of services to the clients by delaying a first class of services provided by a network server in response to the effective bandwidth utilized by this network server exceeding a first threshold.

Data driven remote device control model with general programming interface-to-network messaging adapter

TL;DR: In this article, a general programmatic interface-to-network messaging adapter exposes a suitable object integration interface or application programming interface to applications on a controller device and sends network data messages to invoke services or query status of a controlled device.

Peer-model support for virtual private networks having potentially overlapping addresses

TL;DR: In this paper, a service provider's routers (PE 1, P 1, P 2, PE 2 ) provide connections between and share routing information with routers (CE 1, CE 2 ) of a customer virtual private network (VPN) as well as routers of other customers' VPNs, which may have overlapping address spaces.

Bandwidth and congestion management in accessing broadband ISDN networks

TL;DR: In this paper, a method and apparatus for controlling overload in a data network is described. But this method is limited to a single-tier data network, where data is transmitted within data cells included in a larger data frame using the asynchronous transfer mode (ATM).

ATM cell interface and method for dispatching an ATM cell

TL;DR: In this article, a table lookup mechanism for dispatching an ATM cell having a header is presented. But the number of possible entries in the table lookup is less than the total number of entries supported by the ATM cell header.

Method of controlling data transmission in ATM network with cell loss priority level

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a method of controlling data transmission in the ATM network which establishes simple modes of a network control for a case in which a plurality of cell loss priority levels are involved within the cells of a single virtual channel.

ATM communication system with interrogation of output port servers for available handing capacity

TL;DR: In this paper, a queuing arrangement for bandwidth requests received during periods when there is no available bandwidth capacity, the arrangement being such that requests are released in a predetermined order when capacity becomes available.
