The invention implements inter-terminal transmission with guaranteed capacity based on the single-path configuration function of networks composed of switching hubs with an MAC address learning function and centralized management of transmission capacity, without control over hubs. The capacity to be used by transmission links on a network is stored in advance and transmission capacity along the path to be used is allocated based on requests from terminals, with the allocation removed using a Terminate Request. At such time, by using transmission links and switching hubs with an MAC address learning function, transmission is limited to single-path transmission.

Disclosed by the present invention is a system and method for optical fiber transmission. The switching portion of the present invention adopts the single-layered integrated switching technology so as to ensure a relatively simple and easy maintenance compared with the switching in a traditional communication network where said switching is made in the service network layer and the bearer network layer, respectively. Moreover, the present invention implements data transmission via optical fiber throughout the entire telecommunication system such that demands for bandwidth resources are satisfied during the whole data transmission process and the QoS (Quality of Service) of different services as well as rapid and un-blocking switching of the services are ensured in the telecommunication system. Therefore, the present invention can implement on-demand allocation of bandwidth resources, enhancing the flexibility in network resource management while a subscriber can apply for bandwidth resources based on its demand, which satisfies the individual needs of the user.

A policy change management scheme for network resource management through dynamic policy adaptations especially suitable for DiffServ-enabled MPLS networks is presented. The scheme incorporates automated resource adaptation capabilities to assure QoS for user traffic and to promote resource utilization in DiffServ-enabled MPLS networks. A suite of resource management policies, an ordered set of methods for adjusting policies, and interfaces to a companion policy-based network management system are provided. The policies are periodically adjusted based on predictive bandwidth estimation algorithms ensuring optimal resource allocation to individual service classes and enabling adjustment of resources for handling current traffic and traffic expected for the near future. Resource allocations to individual service classes are adapted through policy changes when bandwidth utilization deviates from normal level or congestion exists in one or more service classes, allowing corrections to abnormal allocation of resources in incipient phases of congestion.

A computing device including an indicator predicting use of a network resource. The indicator may provide an indication that a threshold associated with a budget for the network resource has or will be reached. When a user requests a network operation that will consume the network resource, an amount of the network resource to be consumed by the operation is predicted, if possible. If the prior use of the network resource and the amount to be used to complete the network operation exceeds a threshold the user may be warned and given an opportunity to cancel the operation or adjust the way in which the operation will be performed. If the amount of network resource a network operation will consume is unknown, a rate of use of the network resource is determined and a time until the budget is reached is estimated. An administrative tool is provided for managing network resources and setting budgets for resource consumption by users, devices, or applications.

The invention provides real time dynamic resource management to improve end-to-end QoS by mobile devices regularly updating a resource availability server (RAS) with resource update information. Examples of resource update information are device battery status, available memory, session bandwidth, delay, packet loss, and jitter, network element storage capacity, network element processing power. This information is made available by the RAS. In addition, the RAS generates and maintains predictive models and makes available predictive data from these models. Network elements and devices retrieve this information in the form of notifications from the RAS or by way of querying the RAS. The network elements and devices, based on these predictions, act to negotiate sessions to optimise QoS. In one embodiment the RAS is updated by only mobile devices subscribed to the operator which hosts the RAS. The update information is addressed to the RAS as a stand-alone entity. However, it is envisaged that the server may be hosted by multiple operators and may receive updates from devices subscribed to different operators. Also, it is envisaged that not only mobile devices but also network elements such as MMSCs may send update information.

The invention discloses a method for guaranteeing the QoS (quality of service) of a SDN (software defined network) by means of dynamic resource management. The method is mainly characterized in that flows entering the SDN are classified according to the characteristics of the flows; the flows in the SDN are provided with different priorities; If multiple flows share one path and cause over-high link load, a low-load path is selected for a flow with a higher priority by a multi-constrained path optimization algorithm and an influence on ordinary flows are reduced as much as possible until the link recovers to a normal state; if not a path satisfying a condition exists, the flows are mapped into queues with different grades according to the different priorities of the flows and finally dynamic network resource management is achieved. The method fast solves over-high network link load, highly-efficiently utilizes network resources by means of a dynamic resource management scheme, guarantees the service request of flow with higher priority, and has good practical application value.

A digital content mediator (“DCM”) communicates with a network resource controller/manager (NRM) to allocate the appropriate network resources for a digital content transfer. A DCM client provides a signal to the DCM requesting the desired digital content transaction. The DCM checks a content information database to see if the content transfer is allowed. If the transfer is allowed, the DCM then extracts content transfer information from the content information database that describes network resource characteristics for transfer of that content. The DCM then formulates a request to the Network Resorce Manager containing the source and destination endpoint information in addition to the network resource characteristics of the content to be transferred. The Network Resource Manager (NRM) then makes the appropriate resource allocations. If the request succeeds, the DCM “approves” the request and signals to the client that the transfer process can continue. At the end of the transfer process, after the DCM has verified that the destination user has received the desired digital content, the DCM provides a “signal” to the NRM requesting that the reserved network resources be de-allocated.
