The analysis system is a collection, configuration and integration of software programs that reside on multiple interconnected computer platforms. The software, less computer operating systems, is a combination of sensor, analysis, data conversion, and visualization programs. The hardware platforms consist of several different types of interconnected computers, which share the software programs, data files, and visualization programs via a Local Area Network (LAN). This collection and integration of software and the migration to a single computer platform results in an approach to LAN / WAN monitoring in either a passive and / or active mode. The architecture permits digital data input from external sensors for analysis, display and correlation with data and displays derived from four major software concept groups. These are: Virus Computer Code Detection; Analysis of Computer Source and Executable Code; Dynamic Monitoring of Data Communication Networks; 3-D Visualization and Animation of Data.

A technique is provided for implementing route aggregation in a computer network containing a multi-homed customer site connected to primary and second networks, which in turn are both connected to a common “backbone” network. According to the technique, the primary network allocates a block of network addresses for the customer site, and the customer site notifies the secondary network of its allocated addresses. The secondary network first determines whether the primary network has already advertised an aggregated route which incorporates the customer site's route. If so, the secondary network “suppresses” (i.e., does not advertise) the customer site's route. The secondary network only “unsuppresses” the customer site's route if it detects that the primary network has lost connectivity to the customer site and / or the backbone network.

A system and method for fast network re-entry in a broadband wireless access communication system. A mobile station transmits a first message requiring fast network re-entry to a base station and performs the fast network re-entry together with the base station when receiving a second message approving the fast network re-entry from the base station. The base station receives the first message, authenticates the first message using final session information of the mobile station that is previously stored in the base station, transmits the second message to the mobile station when succeeding in authentication of the first message, and performs the fast network re-entry together with the mobile station.

A method of providing service performance information to a carrier for an application over a network is provided, wherein parameters relating to the application are transmitted to a mobile device, and the mobile device stores information relating to packets transmitted for the application.

In a Quality of Service system, segments in a TCP session are assigned a priority level. A segment may contain an acknowledgement and data. The system determines if network congestion is detected or anticipated in the segment's priority band or in a higher priority band. When the TCP segment arrives at a network point, the segment is split into an acknowledgement segment and a data segment. The acknowledgement segment is scheduled at a higher QoS priority than the data segment.

A method for communicating with automatic meter reading (AMR) endpoints in adjacent cells, when the endpoints are arranged in a cell pattern similar to a cellular telephone system, is disclosed that substantially reduces the likelihood of signal interference. A Frame ID is identified as corresponding to a particular receive frequency that a system reader (receiver / collector) uses when listening for endpoint responses. In this example embodiment of the AMR network model, all endpoints in the network listen on the same control frequency to receive commands sent out from the readers. To allow for a relatively fast network read cycle, cells that are spaced far enough away from each other as to not interfere with each other are allowed to transmit at the same time. Cells with the same Frame ID are configured to be spaced a safe distance from each other so as not to interfere with each other's endpoint population.

The outbound routing update message is forwarded and includes reachability data that indicates the repair address is reachable. A payload of an inbound tunneled packet received at the local router and directed to the repair address is forwarded based on a destination indicated in the payload.

A method for continually controlling the collective behavior of a set of computing devices in a distributed data processing system. A gateway node disseminates a specification request comprising a set of parameters to a set of computing devices. The gateway node may be unaware of the number and identity of individual computing devices. Each computing node receiving the request determines whether its attributes satisfy the predicates expressed in the specification request. If so, the node processes the parameters in the specification request and modifies its own behavior based on the values in the parameters of the specification request. Subsequently, the gateway node may also observe the quality of information (QoI) values communicated from the set of computing devices. The gateway node iteratively modifies the parameters disseminated in subsequent specification requests based on a divergence between a computed quality of information value and a desired quality of information value.

A multiple node network includes a plurality of terminal nodes. A management node manages the terminal nodes. A bus connects the respective terminal nodes and the management node to one another. The respective terminal nodes and the management node communicate with each other using a frame that includes at least an identifier field and a data field. The data field has a discriminative number. Each terminal node transfers the frame to the management node. A contention between the terminal nodes is arbitrated by comparing the respective identifier fields of the terminal nodes. When the arbitration fails, each terminal node repeatedly transfers the frame to the management node after a delay time that is unique for the particular terminal node and that is calculated based upon the discriminative number in the data field.

A method allowing multiple persons and operations to log and run on network as well as dial up ID phone includes following steps. The switch in server sends the authentication request to the operation control point. With the request being passed, the operation control point responds the authentication authorization and calculates the maximum time allowed for the to the prepaid card. With the authorization being received, the server switches the call and reports the request for starting charging. The operation control point makes response to the server at the time when receiving the request. The server reports such request every preset time interval. Once the said request being received, the optical control point judges whether the balance on the card is enough.
