RSVP: a new resource ReSerVation Protocol
A resource reservation protocol (RSVP), a flexible and scalable receiver-oriented simplex protocol, is described. RSVP provides receiver-initiated reservations to accommodate heterogeneity among receivers as well as dynamic membership changes; separates ...
Voice synchronization in packet switching networks
An algorithm for voice synchronization for packet switching networks is presented. The algorithm has been tested both in simulation and on a real network. The algorithm runs on the TRAME packet switching network for both the Vocoder and CELP DoD voice ...
Packet reassembly during cell loss
Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) is a packet switched data transport system based on short, fixed length cells. Each cell carries a virtual channel indicator (VCI) and virtual path indicator (VPI) in its header. Essential to the services offered by the ...
Interconnecting high-speed LANs and backbones
Transparent source routing, an algorithm that exploits the best features of the transparent spanning tree and source routing algorithms for medium-access-control (MAC) bridges used in local area network (LAN) interconnections, is presented. The scheme ...
Automatic failure isolation and reconfiguration [ring networks]
An automatic reconfiguration of counter-rotating rings that significantly increases the reliability of a network is described. The automatic failure isolation and reconfiguration methodology (FIRM) uses flags and management frames to bypass both single ...
