20100014540 | Method for managing data transmission according to a quality of service in a network assembly and a computer network system - The invention relates to a new type of quality of service architecture for a network assembly and a corresponding computer network system. The Internet technology as approved by the IETF organization has defined different services. One is the integrated services (IntServ) and the other the differentiated services (DiffServ) architecture. Another is the RSVP Protocol according to which Quality of Service can be implemented with accuracy and richer functionality. | 01-21-2010 |
20100135332 | METHOD FOR SYNCHRONIZING A CLOCK OF A NETWORK COMPONENT WITH A CLOCK OF FURTHER NETWORK COMPONENT AND NETWORK COMPONENT THEFOR - The invention relates to a method for synchronizing a clock of a network component with a clock of a further network component communicatively connected to the network component in a network and a network component, whereby the method comprises the following steps: determining a set of forward transition delays for transmission of messages from the network component to the further network component and a set of corresponding backward transition delays for transmission of messages from the further network component to the network component, selecting a minimum forward transition delay from the set of forward transition delays, selecting a minimum backward transition delay from the set of backward transition delays, deriving an estimated value for an offset between the clock of the network component and the clock of the further network component from the selected minimum forward transition delay and minimum backward transition delay, and adjusting the clock of the network component in accordance with the estimated value for the offset estimate. | 06-03-2010 |
20100138532 | Method of operating a network subnet manager - The invention relates to a method of operating a network subnet manager, in particular Infiniband network subnet manager in a subnet of a network. | 06-03-2010 |
20110096849 | OPTIMIZED SELECTION OF TRANSMISSION PROTOCOL RESPECTING THRESHOLDS - In the method for management of data transmissions in a network, switching means are provided, by means of which a change can be carried out between a first data transmission type and a second data transmission type, as alternative data transmission types between a transmitter and a receiver. The change is carried out on the basis of at least one respectively predetermined criterion. The first data transmission type corresponds to a transport protocol based on rate-based overload control. The second data transmission type corresponds to a transport protocol based on RTT-based overload control. | 04-28-2011 |
20110123167 | Method and device for linking multimedia data - It is desired to link photo data and video data taken by a digital camcorder. Therefore, there is provided a device and method for linking multimedia data, wherein linking information is formed on the basis of first and/or second multimedia data. The linking information is stored on a recording medium together with the first multimedia data. The second multimedia data may be stored together with respective linking information to the first multimedia data on a second recording medium. Thus, a camera-man while recording is able to set up logo or index pictures for a video film. | 05-26-2011 |
20110131322 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ACCESSING FILES STORED IN A STORAGE ACCESS NETWORK (SAN) OR NETWORK ATTACHED STORAGE (NAS) - A method and apparatus for file access in a storage access network (SAN) wherein a portion of a first file is accessed and an access rate computed based on time and amount of data accessed. If the computed access rate is less than an expected rate, a problem is identified and analysis performed. A first analysis accesses the first file through a second link to determine if the link is the problem. If the first file is accessed at an expected rate, the first link is identified as the problem and the file is accessed through an alternate link. A second analysis accesses a second file through the first link. If the second file is accessed at an expected rate, the first file is identified as the problem and the second file is accessed through the first link. | 06-02-2011 |
20110255405 | METHOD FOR OPERATING A MULTIPORT MAC BRIDGE HAVING PORTS WHICH CAN BE SWITCHED OFF ACCORDING TO AN ISOCHRONOUS DATA STREAM AT ONE PORT OR PORT PAIR IN ETHERNET LANS - In the method for operating a multi-port bridge for the routing, differentiated in accordance with traffic classes, of data packets which are subdivided into different priority classes in accordance with the IEEE802.1D standard, an additional traffic class “isochronous channel” is introduced. The multi-port bridge is configured in such a manner that at least one predetermined port in the case of unidirectional transmission and at least one predetermined port pair in the case of bidirectional transmission is operated in the “forwarding” state in which the predetermined port or the predetermined port pair forwards data packets of the additional traffic class IC from a queue. During the forwarding, all ports are deactivated with the exception of the predetermined port or port pair. The isochronous data stream is not restricted to one port or port pair but can be executed several times in dependence on the data rate of the transmission channel. | 10-20-2011 |
20120020360 | METHOD OF MANAGING A PACKET ADMINISTRATION MAP - A method of managing a packet administration map for data packets to be received via a network. A receiver in the network monitors sequence numbers and stores missing sequence numbers within an internal data structure, called a packet administration map. A reversed keying is used which means that the upper limit of the range of contiguous missing data packets is used as the key entry in the administration map. | 01-26-2012 |

20140012850 | Method And Apparatus For Prioritizing Metadata - A method and an apparatus for prioritizing a metadata item associated to audio or video data are described. A metadata item is retrieved from a metadata repository or via an input. An analyzing unit determines a priority value of the metadata item using one of a plurality of prioritization methods. A storing unit then stores the priority value in a priority table and references the priority table in a metadata table. | 01-09-2014 |
