Embodiments are directed toward a method for Behavior-based Traffic Differentiation (BTD) that initially receives incoming packets and performs traffic classification to determine the protocol of the incoming packets. In addition, BTD performs bandwidth division/allocation to further support traffic classification amongst non-TCP traffic such as UDP and ICMP. For TCP traffic, the method for BTD determines whether a TCP connection has been established and performs at least one of rate limiting, waiting time reduction for half-open connections, and incrementing backlog queue size when the TCP connection has not been established. If the TCP connection has been established successfully, the method for BTD further includes proactive tests for traffic differentiation which identify normal traffic, which is admitted, and attack traffic, which is dropped.

The obstacle detecting system includes a first image acquiring unit which acquires first image information by selectively receiving a laser beam emitted from at least one laser source toward a road surface at a target distance; a second image acquiring unit which acquires an image of actual surroundings as second image information; an image recognizing unit which recognizes an image of an obstacle by performing 3-D image recognition signal processing on line information of the laser beam using the first image information, and recognizes a pattern of the obstacle by performing pattern recognition signal processing on the second image information; and a risk determining unit which determines a possibility of collision due to presence of the obstacle within the target distance by classifying the recognized obstacles according to whether or not the image-recognized obstacle is matched with the pattern-recognized obstacle.

The load in a cell or a cell sector is balanced in the process of sending store and forward messages to multiple recipients located in a single cell or cell sector. When one or more messages are sent over a wireless communication network to one or more recipient devices, information about the identity of the base station and cell sector serving the recipient device(s) is obtained. A current load for the cell or cell sector can also be obtained and used to control the number of simultaneous message transmissions to the cell sector to avoid overloading the sector. Message transmission may be allocated according to predetermined transmission rules for a cell sector or by dynamically allocating message transmission according to fluctuating traffic loads in the cell sector. Accordingly, a first subset of messages may be transmitted to a single recipient, or a single message may be transmitted to a subset of intended recipient devices. Thereafter, message transmission takes place incrementally without overloading the cell or cell sector.

Based on an origin location and a destination location, a navigation device is configured to provide an initial route. Traffic messages describing traffic events are received by the navigation device. Based on a location code in each of the traffic messages, the navigation device determines a traffic event delay if the location code corresponds to any remaining segment(s) of the initial route. If at least one of the traffic messages corresponds to any remaining segment(s) of the initial route, a travel delay is calculated based on one or more traffic event delays. The navigation device calculates a new route from the current location to the destination location, and, if a new travel time of the new route is less than a remaining travel time of the initial route from the current location to the destination location plus the travel delay, the navigation device outputs the new route.

New firmware is attached to electronic mail from a computer of the service center to be transmitted towards a monitor device at the user side. The monitor device of the user side reads out the electronic mail from a mail server and downloads the electronic mail into its own apparatus. Then, the firmware is derived from the electronic mail and transmitted to an image formation apparatus that is the subject of transmission. The image formation apparatus receiving the firmware writes the new firmware into the flash ROM that is the subject of rewriting. Accordingly, increase of the communication traffic can be prevented and the load on the mail server can be alleviated in the case where the same firmware for a plurality of devices connected on a network is to be altered using an electronic mail system.

A method for video-on-demand (VoD) admission control at a network edge assigns to a triple-play network virtual topology lesser resources than there exists in a corresponding underlying physical link bandwidth. This prevents video-on-demand (VoD) starvation of data-class traffic. At least one policy enforcement point (PEP) is attached to an edge of the network, providing for autonomous short-term, application-aware controls to be applied to corresponding network ingress traffic, and also providing for long-term controls on corresponding network ingress traffic. The network ingress traffic to the network comes under management when the traffic nears or exceeds network capacity. It is enabled to do so by computations of current network routing topology and bandwidth reservations. Path tables are used to calculate if a PEP may admit more, or must shed, sessions/calls to maintain service for other existing application traffic. The PEP and a session/call admission controller (S/CAC) may be independently located within the topology of the network, and together implement admission controls that differentiate between triple-play video, voice, and data traffic classes.

A method for managing virtual links within a multiple protocol label switched network is provided. A virtual link which includes a set of links between two devices is regarded as a single entity by a control component of a label switching router. Each packet to be transported on the virtual link is labeled based on its assigned forwarding equivalence class. A specific label is bound to a corresponding forwarding equivalence class. Such packets can be forwarded onto any one of the links within the virtual link. To load balance the various links within the virtual link, different selected hash functions are used at selected times to apportion the packets. depending on the load conditions.

To prevent load of route calculation from being centralized in part of units. A node calculates routes of a primary path and an alternate path and sends them to a management center. The management center checks whether SRLGs of the two routes overlap, and instructs the node to perform calculation again if the routes overlap. The management center searches for an alternate path having a route overlapping the route of the above described alternate path. When an overlapping alternate path exists, and SRLGs of a primary path corresponding to the alternate path and the above described primary path do not overlap, a link is shared in an overlapping portion of the routes of the two alternate paths.
