Methods and apparatus for controlling the transmission of stream data

Mechanisms and techniques provide a system that provides stream data to a client by monitoring operation of a stream control protocol such as RTSP associated with stream data transmitted between a client and a first stream server. The system detects a stream change event related to transmission of the stream data between the client and the first stream server and identifies a relative position within the stream data based on the operation of the stream control protocol. The system then establishes transmission of the stream data between the client and a second stream server starting at the relative position in the stream data. The system provides for mid-stream failover for the transmission of stream data such as real-time data with minimal perceptible loss of stream data by the client.

Detecting data plane livelines in connections such as label-switched paths

Testing the liveliness of a data plane of a label switched path (LSP) using a two stage approach. The first stage may use a general echo request operation that may be implemented using hardware. Therefore, the first stage does not heavily burden the control plane of the LSR. If a suspect LSP passes the first stage of the diagnostic operation, nothing more needs to be done. If, however, the suspect LSP fails the first stage, the diagnostic operation proceeds to a second stage. The second stage of the diagnostic operation sends probing massages through the suspect LSP, but uses the control plane to deliver the acknowledging messages. If the suspect LSP fails the second stage of the diagnostic operation, the ingress LSR can infer that the LSP is down, and begin recovery actions. The probing messages may include padding so that MTU limits can be tested. In addition, the probing messages may be encapsulated in a protocol that allows flow control, thereby protecting an LSR that can receive such messages from DoS attacks.

Stream control failover utilizing the sharing of state information within a logical group of stream servers

A technique for streaming digital video content to multiple clients involves establishing a logical group of IP-connected stream servers, generating state information at multiple stream servers within the logical group, sharing the state information amongst stream servers in the logical group, and using the shared state information to respond to resource failures within the logical group. By sharing state information within the logical group of stream servers, stream servers with the shared state information can quickly take over the active streams from a failed stream server within the logical group. The quick transition of responsibility from one stream server to another enables the streaming network to provide continuous streaming of digital video content to the viewer without interruption.

Congestion control and QOS in noc by regulating the injection traffic

ActiveUS20140328172A1Error preventionTransmission systemsTorus interconnectLocal congestion
Systems and methods described herein are directed to solutions for NoC interconnects that provide congestion avoidance and end-to-end uniform and weighted-fair allocation of resource bandwidths among various contenders in a mesh or torus interconnect. The example implementations are fully distributed and involve using explicit congestion notification messages or local congestion identification for congestion detection. Based on the congestion level detected, the injection rates of traffic at various agents are regulated that avoids congestion and also provides end-to-end QoS. Alternative example implementations may also utilize end-to-end credit based flow control between communicating agents for resource and bandwidth allocation of the destination between the contending sources. The resource allocation is performed so that both the weighted and strict bandwidth allocation QoS policies are satisfied.
