TLDR
In this paper, a traffic management system includes a traffic monitor and a traffic manager, where the traffic monitor monitors traffic at a reference point T of user network interface to produce traffic information for each connection established.Abstract:
A traffic management system includes a traffic monitor and a traffic manager. The traffic monitor monitors traffic at a reference point T of user network interface to produce traffic information for each connection established. The traffic-manager manages network traffic of the wide-area network based on the traffic information received from the traffic monitor. The traffic information is produced for each permanent virtual connection (PVC) or for each dedicated line.read more

Method and system for constraining server usage in a distributed network
TL;DR: Avelvet rope as mentioned in this paper is a mechanism that enables customers of a shared distributed network (such as a content delivery network) needing to control their costs to control the amount of traffic that is served via the shared network.
Patent
Systems and methods for broadband network optimization
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present systems and methods for maximizing transmission throughput or capacity in a heterogeneous communications network, which may include any one, or combinations, of: a route tracing module for identifying an optimization endpoint or destination; a testing module for sending representative test data to the endpoint/destination and measuring the data throughput/capacity for a given set of transmission variable values; and an optimization module for analyzing the set of transmissions variable values and the associated data throughput and capacity, and determining an optimized set of transmit variables/values.
Patent
Traffic quality measurement apparatus and method
TL;DR: In this article, a measurement apparatus for measuring traffic of packets with high time resolution is provided, which includes an accumulation part for accumulating packet lengths of packets having predetermined header information in successively received packets, and storing an accumulated value of the packet lengths in a storage; and a periodic reading part for reading the accumulated value from the storage at predetermined time intervals, and outputting the accumulative value.
Patent
Displaying network segment decode information in diagrammatic form
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a network analyzer that comprises a frame monitoring device operative to detect frames on the network segment under analysis and a frame decoder for decoding the frames to provide decode information that is stored on a decode information buffer.

Communication available transport network bandwidth to L2 ethernet nodes
Alp Dibirdi,Hansen Chan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the available bandwidth capacities of leased links are advertised using an L2 Ethernet frame in a form similar to the routing protocol used in the communications network to avoid additional strain and complexity in the network due to additional protocols for traffic engineering.

Distributed remote management (dRMON) for networks
Rick Fletcher,Prakash C. Banthia +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and apparatus for the distributed monitoring of network traffic deploys end system agents to collect traffic statistics at distributed points in the network, which are forwarded to collectors which compile the statistics to create higher level pictures of network performance.

TL;DR: In this article, a RMON2 network traffic data format is proposed for collecting, storing, processing, and using data, such as network traffic, applications, and network traffic probes.
Patent
Error monitoring algorithm for broadband signaling
TL;DR: In this article, the error performance of an ATM signaling link operating under the service specific connection oriented protocol (SSCOP) is monitored by determining the maximum retransmission count (i.e., the number of times a message has to be retransmitted from a transmitting to a receiving end) amongst those messages retransmitting within a polling interval.
Patent
Signaling and protocol for communication system with wireless trunk
TL;DR: In this article, a communication system having a wireless trunk for connecting multiple phone lines over wireless communication links to a cellular network comprises a central telephone switch, such as a private branch exchange or key system, connected through one or more trunk lines to a wireless access communication unit.

Method and apparatus for monitoring a dedicated communications medium in a switched data network
Shlomo Guttman,Reuven Moskovich +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a bypass circuit for monitoring the performance of a dedicated communications medium in a switched data networking environment, in which a probe having bypass circuit allows promiscuous monitoring of all traffic between a switch and a network device, such as a file server, in either direction, and in full duplex mode.
