A method for resolving meeting conflicts for an electronic calendar application is disclosed. After receiving a request for setting a first meeting schedule for a first meeting, an electronic calendar application sets a first meeting schedule and a first meeting priority number associated with the first meeting. In response to a request to set a second meeting schedule for a second meeting, and the second meeting schedule conflicts with the first meeting schedule, the electronic calendar application determines whether a second meeting priority number associated with the second meeting is higher than the first meeting priority number associated with the first meeting. If the second meeting priority number is determined to be higher than the first meeting priority number, then the electronic calendar application overrides the first meeting schedule with the second meeting schedule. Next, the electronic calendar application informs a meeting scheduler of that first meeting that the first meeting has been overridden by the second meeting schedule.

A system for using a virtual switch in a network. In response to a switch connecting to a network, network configuration data is read to determine whether the switch is part of a virtual switch. In response to determining that the switch is part of the virtual switch, a priority number for the switch is sent to other switches connected to the network. Priority numbers are received from the other switches. It is determined whether the switch has a highest priority number. In response to determining that the switch does have the highest priority number, the switch is selected to be a master switch for the virtual switch. Then, domain identification data for the virtual switch is sent to the other switches. Afterward, the switch and the other switches respond to requests over the network as one domain identified by the domain identification data.

A macro sorts the failure mode effects analysis pages by risk priority number without overwriting the original data.

A method for controlling the behavior of a telephone using policies, the method comprising a Policy Creation Program (PCP) and a Behavior Control Program (BCP). The policies comprise telephone behavior instructions and three criteria conditions: location criteria, context criteria, and caller criteria. Each policy is also assigned a policy priority number based on the importance of the policy, which is used to resolve conflicts between the policies. The PCP allows the user to create the policies and stores the policies in a policy table based on the policy priority numbers. The BCP detects an incoming telephone call and determines the location, context, and caller conditions. The BCP compares the location, context, and caller conditions to a plurality of the policies and determines the policy that matches the conditions. The BCP then controls the telephone's behavior according to the telephone behavior instructions in the policy.

A method for co-operative thermal management of a number of independent electronic devices housed within a common enclosure that includes designating a priority number and measuring a temperature for each of the independent electronic devices. Next, for each of the independent electronic devices, the measured temperature is evaluated to determine if it exceeds a threshold value for the independent electronic device. If the measured temperature exceeds a threshold value, a count-down value is initialize to the designated priority number of the independent electronic device. Following which, the count-down value is evaluated to determine if it is equal to zero. If the count-down value is equal to zero, the independent electronic device is powered down. However, if the count-down value is not equal to zero, a specified time interval is allowed to expire before the count-down value is decremented and re-evaluated to determine if it is equal to zero.

The invention discloses a method and a system for limiting speed of a token bucket based on priority. The method comprises the following steps of: configuring speed limiting parameters of a message according to the attribute of the message, wherein the speed limiting parameters comprise a speed limiting value and gradually decreased depths of token buckets at different stages, and ensuring that the token number in the token bucket at the highest stage is greater than or equal to sum of the token numbers in the token buckets at the rest stages of the token buckets; calculating the token number to be added after receiving the message; limiting the speed of the current message by using the token bucket at the highest stage when determining that priority speed limiting is not needed; limiting the speed of the current message by using the token bucket corresponding to the number of stages of the current message for the messages with the same priority number of the message as the speed limiting stage number when determining that priority speed limiting is needed; and limiting the speed of the current message for the messages with different priority stage of the message from the speed limiting stage number by using the token bucket at the highest stage. Through the method and the system, different messages have different discard probabilities under the condition of the same speed limiting condition, and the service quality of a network is improved.

A method and apparatus for performing packet classification in a digital signal processor for policy-based packet routing. For one embodiment, the digital signal processor includes a policy statement table for storing policy statements. Each policy statement has associated with it a priority number that indicates the priority of the policy statement relative to other policy statements. The priority numbers are separately stored in a priority index table. The priority index table includes priority logic that determines the most significant priority number from among the policy statements that match an incoming packet during a classification of filter operation. The priority logic also identifies the location in the priority index table of the most significant priority number. The identified location in the priority index table can be used to access associated route information or other information stored in a route memory array. New policy statements can be added at any location in the policy statement table, and the associated priority numbers loaded into corresponding locations in the priority index table. Priority numbers of previously stored priority policy statements may be updated such that the new policy statement does not have the same priority number as the previously stored policy statements.
