摘要： An embodiment of the present invention provides an alternative path generation technique which is able to take into account changes in network circumstances, such as link failures, or changes in traffic patterns, by making use of a congestion measure for each operational link in the network, and then applying a route finding algorithm (such as the conventional Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) algorithm) to find paths, with the congestion measures input into the algorithm as the path length values. The route-finding algorithm is then able to determine candidate paths in dependence not on path length, as is conventional, but on the present load in the network, and in particular between IEPs, as measured by the congestion measures. As the congestion measures implicitly take into account present traffic load, as well as link failures, and the like, an adaptive candidate path generation technique is provided, which is able to find alternative paths for IEPs in dependence on present network conditions. Optionally, in some embodiments, the candidate paths are subject to a threshold test against a property thereof, and if the test is passed then the candidate path is implemented in the network, and becomes a path between an IEP onto which traffic can then be routed.
摘要翻译：本发明的实施例提供了一种备选路径生成技术，其可以通过利用网络中的每个操作链路的拥塞度量来考虑网络环境的变化，诸如链路故障或业务模式的变化，然后应用路由查找算法（例如传统的开放最短路径优先（OSPF）算法）来找到路径，将拥塞度量输入到算法中作为路径长度值。然后，路由查找算法能够像传统的那样根据路径长度确定候选路径，但是根据拥塞措施测量的网络中的当前负载，特别是在IEP之间确定候选路径。由于拥塞措施隐含地考虑到当前业务负载以及链路故障等，因此提供了一种适应性候选路径生成技术，其能够根据当前网络条件找到IEP的替代路径。可选地，在一些实施例中，候选路径经受相对于其属性的阈值测试，并且如果测试被传递，则候选路径在网络中实现，并且变成IEP之间的路径，然后路由到哪个业务。

摘要： Embodiments of the invention provide a network management sub-system which is preferably logically separate from the routing nodes (including gateway nodes) of a network. The network management sub-system receives load information relating to present packet flows on existing predetermined paths in the network, and when a request for admittance of a new packet flow is received, is able to make a decision as to whether the new flow should be both: i) admitted to the network; and ii) on to which path; in substantially the same process step. This is possible because the admission control and routing algorithms are integrated into a single process, the result of which provides both an admission control decision as well as a routing decision at the same time. By performing such an operation in a management sub-system which is separate from the routing nodes, there is no need for such functionality to be duplicated in nodes across the network, and instead the routing nodes are relieved of the burden of having to make such decision themselves. As a consequence, the network nodes can be kept simpler, and network control can be retained by the network operator in the management sub-system.

摘要： Examples of the invention generate restoration plans (444) defining how data traffic should be moved from one path to another in the event of a predetermined failure in dependence on present load data (427) received from nodes in the network. In preferred examples the calculation of the restoration plans (444) is performed using a linear programming optimisation function that optimises the value obtained by the network in admitting additional flows versus the additional restoration cost that would be incurred in the event of one or more predetermined failures. In addition, preferred examples also calculate admission control parameters to be used by ingress nodes which, when used to control admission of new flows, ensures that the restoration plans should be successful in the event of failures. By integrating admission control (42) and restoration planning (44) in this manner, resilience and resource utilisation in the network are improved.

摘要： In embodiments of the invention when a session request is received the value assigned to that session is compared to present congestion costs in the network at the present time. If the value of the session exceeds the cost then the session is accepted; otherwise it is rejected. It is possible to show mathematically that, provided this strategy is used for all session requests, then, when demand exceeds supply for a given resource, the congestion measurement for that resource rises to become equal to its shadow price. Here, in a model of a capacity constrained network, the shadow price of a capacity constraint is the cost to other users of using one unit of capacity. Congestion measurements can therefore be used to provide a "cost" (to other users) of admitting the flow to the network, which can then be compared against the "value" (to the network operator) of admitting the flow during the admission control evaluation. Additionally, this "cost" vs. "value" comparison can be used for path selection, as well as any other resource management decision. For example, in particularly preferred embodiments a session is not only admitted based upon the cost value comparison, but is also assigned to a particular path which maximises value minus cost.
摘要翻译：在本发明的实施例中，当接收到会话请求时，将分配给该会话的值与当前网络中的当前拥塞成本进行比较。如果会话的价值超过成本，则会话被接受; 否则被拒绝。有可能在数学上显示，只要该策略用于所有会话请求，那么当需求超过给定资源的供应时，该资源的拥塞度量就会变得等于其影子价格。这里，在容量约束网络的模型中，容量约束的影子价格是其他用户使用一个容量单位的成本。因此，拥塞测量可用于向网络提供“成本”（向其他用户），该流量可以与入网控制评估期间允许流量的“价值”（对网络运营商）进行比较。此外，这种“成本”与“价值”比较可用于路径选择以及任何其他资源管理决策。例如，在特别优选的实施例中，会话不仅基于成本值比较而被允许，而且还被分配给最大化值减去成本的特定路径。

摘要： The present invention addresses the above problem by providing a method and system for regulating on-line services by providing for the receipt of input from users of the service relating to the behaviour of a first user with respect to a second user. The first user's use of the on-line service may then be modified in dependence upon the input, the modification preferably being selectively applied in dependence upon the use of the on-line service by the second user. For example, in a message based application such as a chat-room, the first user may be delayed from posting messages to the chat-room for a certain time period after the second user has posted a message, but is not delayed from posting messages in response to messages posted by other users. The modification of the service in dependence on the input from other users allows other users to rate the relationship between the first and second users, and for appropriate regulatory action to be taken in dependence on the ratings. The preferable selective application of the modification allows for the regulatory action to be taken only when required, and for the first user's other use of the service to remain unaffected.

摘要： A method and system is described that adjusts the allocated capacity of a network between services, or service or traffic classes, in dependence on a congestion-influenced shadow price indication in respect of each service or class. In this respect, instead of viewing the congestion price as a cost of using already allocated unit of capacity, such a shadow price indication can be viewed as an indicator of the value obtainable from allocating an extra unit of capacity to a service or class. By so doing the shadow price indication becomes a factor to be taken into account in deciding on capacity allocation between services or classes, with a high shadow price indication for a service or class indicating that additional value would likely be obtained by allocating an additional unit of capacity to the service or class.
