20090040929Method and apparatus for dynamically managing hierarchical flows - Provided are a method and apparatus for dynamically managing hierarchical flows that more efficiently process packet traffic while maintaining compatibility with an existing packet data network in transferring both circuit traffic and packet traffic in a packet switched network. The method for dynamically managing hierarchical flows includes: receiving data packets, classifying the data packets according to attributes of the received data packets, and producing first flows; determining whether traffic of each of the first flows exceeds a predetermined bandwidth limit, and performing a packet drop process or producing second flows for first flows that exceed the bandwidth limit, according to a flow-specific policy; and performing second flow processing on the second flows according to a second flow policy. Only flows exceeding the bandwidth limit or causing congestion are hierarchically divided for management. This makes it possible to finely manage the flows without complex operations.02-12-2009
20090086764System and method for time synchronization on network - A system and method for time synchronization on a network is provided. According to the system and method for time synchronization, a slave clock device does not continuously receive a time synchronization message periodically transferred from a master clock device and thus does not correct its time upon all such occasions. Rather, the slave clock device requests time information from the master clock device only when the slave clock device needs to correct its time, and receives a time synchronization message transferred from the master clock device and compensates for its time deviation only while the slave clock device is activated, thereby reducing its power consumption and amount of computation.04-02-2009
20100158009HIERARCHICAL PACKET PROCESS APPARATUS AND METHOD - Provided is a hierarchical packet processing apparatus and method. In one general aspect, a packet is analyzed, divided into an upper layer and a lower layer. It is determined whether a property of the packet to be analyzed has been already analyzed or has to be re-analyzed with respect to each of the upper and lower layers of the packet. Therefore, deep packet inspection is performed only when it is required, and thus assurance of quality of service (QoS) during packet processing can be achieved, as well as reduced waste of resources.06-24-2010
20110013737TIME SYNCHRONIZATION APPARATUS BASED ON PARALLEL PROCESSING - A parallel processing-based time synchronization apparatus is disclosed. The time synchronization apparatus employs a double-filter structure based on parallel processing, thereby providing more precise and reliable time synchronization between a master device and a slave device.01-20-2011
20110016232TIME STAMPING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR NETWORK TIMING SYNCHRONIZATION - A time stamping apparatus and method for network timing synchronization are provided. A receiving apparatus receives data from a transmitting apparatus, generates a synchronization pulse signal synchronized with a local clock of the transmitting apparatus based on the received data, wherein the received data include information regarding the transmission time of the data, measured using the local clock of the transmitting apparatus, and the receiving apparatus measures the reception time of the data using the synchronization pulse signal. Therefore, accurate network timing synchronization may be achieved.01-20-2011
20110051730MULTI-LAYER DATA PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF - A multi-layer data processing apparatus and method. The multi-layer data processing unit may classify received multi-layer data into lower layer data and higher layer data using lower layer information, and generate and output a traffic flow of the lower layer data or traffic flows of the lower layer data and the higher layer data with reference to a rule information table. In the rule information table, pieces of lower layer rule information may be linked to pieces of higher layer rule information.03-03-2011
20110107059MULTILAYER PARALLEL PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A multilayer parallel processing apparatus. The multilayer parallel processing apparatus includes two or more hierarchical parallel processing units, each configured to process flow data corresponding to a hierarchy that is allocated thereto in response to inputting pieces of flow data configured with two or more hierarchies, and a common database configured to be accessed by the two or more hierarchical parallel processing units and store processing results of each of the hierarchical parallel processing units.05-05-2011

20100226245METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROTECTION SWITCHING IN RING NETWORK - A method and apparatus for protection switching in a ring network are provided. A method for protection switching in a ring network, which includes a first ring network having first and second connection nodes and a second ring network connected with the first ring network through the first and second connection nodes, includes: receiving, by the first connection node, first and second R-APS messages transmitted from nodes belonging to the first ring network; determining, by the first connection node, the position of closure in the first ring network by using the first and second R-APS messages and topology information; receiving, by the first connection node, a topology change signal transmitted from the second ring network; and transmitting, by the first connection node, an FDB flush message with reference to the position of closure.09-09-2010

20100040090SYNCHRONIZATION METHOD FOR ALLOWING FIXED TIME DELAY AND BRIDGE EMPLOYING THE SAME - Provided are a time synchronization method allowing a fixed time delay and a bridge that is interposed between a master and a slave, according to the method. In the bridge, a predetermined time after the synchronization packet is set as an output time of the synchronization packet and the synchronization packet is output at the output time. Accordingly, it is possible to delay synchronization packets in the bridge for the same time, thereby increasing the time synchronization precision.02-18-2010
20100074383TIMESTAMPING METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRECISE NETWORK SYNCHRONIZATION - A timestamping apparatus for network synchronization includes a recovery unit and a timestamping unit. The recovery unit extracts a recovery clock operating at an operation frequency of a transmission terminal from a sync signal received from the transmission terminal. The timestamping unit measures a timestamp value of an arrival time of the sync signal by measuring a phase difference between the recovery clock and a local clock of a receiving terminal.03-25-2010
20100086091METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SYNCHRONIZING TIME OF DAY OF TERMINAL IN CONVERGENT NETWORK - Provided is a method and apparatus for synchronizing a time of day (TOD) in a convergent network, wherein the TOD is received from a time server connected in the convergent network and is provided to a terminal connected in a wired or wireless network, specifically a terminal connected in a heterogeneous network, that requires TOD information. The apparatus includes a time server that provides standard TOD information, a gateway or a host personal computer (PC) that provides the standard TOD information of the time server to the terminal in a 3rd layer or lower instead of an upper layer of the open system interconnection (OSI) 7 layer model, and the terminal that adjusts a local clock according to the provided standard TOD information. According to the method and apparatus, the terminal not only maintains a very precise TOD by obtaining TOD information of the time server periodically or when required, but also obtains the TOD information without using application software for processing the TOD information. Accordingly, power consumption of the terminal is decreased.04-08-2010
20100111165NETWORK FLOW-BASED SCALABLE VIDEO CODING ADAPTATION DEVICE AND METHOD - Provided is a network flow-based scalable video coding (SVC) adaptation device. Without permitting a network transmitting end to divide image data into image data having various levels of quality and send the image data having the various levels of quality to all networks, since an adaptation device is installed in a network device of an ingress of a lower network of a subscriber and the adaptation device and the network transmitting end share network information about attributes of a terminal and the lower network of the subscriber so as to provide an image service having image quality corresponding to the terminal to the terminal, network efficiency can be maximized.05-06-2010
