A two-tier Anycast addressing hierarchy enables deterministic traffic management in an Anycast system. Different locations of the Anycast system advertise a common Anycast cover route comprising a first-tier Anycast address with a first address prefix, and different specific routes comprising a set of second-tier Anycast addresses with a second address prefix, wherein each address of the set of second-tier Anycast addresses falls within the already advertised Anycast cover route, and wherein the second prefix is larger than the first prefix. Domain Name System (DNS) operation can resolve queries to the cover route when normal Anycast operation is desired or can be modified to resolve a subset of queries to a particular second-tier address in order to shift a deterministic amount of traffic based on the resolved subset of queries to a deterministically selected Anycast system location based on the location from which the particular second-tier address is advertised.

A system and method for time division multiplexing voice and situational awareness data with defined transmission and retransmission windows comprises coordinating the voice and situational awareness windows at defined times across all nodes. Control signal windows and control signal retransmission windows are also defined to propagate control signals to coordinate the various voice and situational awareness windows. Voice data is prioritized for bandwidth.

A user station for a bus system and a method for transmitting a message at different bit rates in a bus system is provided. The user station includes a communication control unit for creating a message for at least one further user station of the bus system. The communication control unit is designed to provide in the message a first phase to be transmitted at a first bit rate, and to provide a second phase to be transmitted at a second bit rate, which is faster or slower than the first bit rate. The communication control unit is designed to provide in the message between the first and second phase a predetermined bit pattern for a bit rate switchover between the first and second bit rate. The predetermined bit pattern includes, both before and after the bit rate switchover, a flank for synchronization.

Techniques in advanced deep learning provide improvements in one or more of accuracy, performance, and energy efficiency. An array of processing elements performs flow-based computations on wavelets of data. Each processing element has a respective compute element and a respective routing element. Instructions executed by the compute element include operand specifiers, some specifying a data structure register storing a data structure descriptor describing an operand as a fabric vector or a memory vector. The data structure descriptor further describes various attributes of the fabric vector: length, microthreading eligibility, number of data elements to receive, transmit, and/or process in parallel, virtual channel and task identification information, whether to terminate upon receiving a control wavelet, and whether to mark an outgoing wavelet a control wavelet.

Techniques are described for managing a plurality of requests for a change in bandwidth for a resource reservation label switched path (“LSP”) of a ring network. For example, a method may include receiving, by a network device and from an egress network device of a ring network, a resource reservation request message to establish a multipoint-to-point (MP2P) ring label switched path (LSP). The method may also include modifying, by the network device, the resource reservation request message to specify a request for a change in bandwidth for a segment from the network device to the egress network device of the MP2P ring LSP. The method may also include sending, by the network device and to a downstream network device along the MP2P ring LSP, the modified resource reservation request message.

A transmission apparatus that includes circuitry configured to generate transport protocol selection information used for selecting a transport protocol to be used in a specific service from a plurality of transport protocols conforming to a predetermined standard; and transmit, together with the transport protocol selection information, a content provided by the specific service according to the transport protocol set in the transport protocol selection information, and the plurality of transport protocols include at least ROUTE (Real-Time Object Delivery over Unidirectional Transport) and MMT (MPEG Media Transport).

A method for the distributed processing of process data in a local bus, wherein the local bus has a local bus master and at least two data bus participants, and the method comprises: sending a data packet with process data from the local bus master via the local bus; receiving the data packet at a first data bus participant; pre-processing at least one item of process data using the first data bus participant; sending the data packet with the at least one item of pre-processed process data via the local bus to the second data bus participant using the first data bus participant; receiving the data packet with the at least one item of pre processed process data at the second data bus participant; and further processing the at least one item of pre-processed process data using the second data bus participant.

One embodiment provides an apparatus. The apparatus includes client traffic management (CTM) logic. The CTM logic is to trigger implementation of a selected network traffic flow related to the client device, the triggering based, at least in part, on a network traffic flow related to the client device. The network traffic flow is associated with a connection and includes at least one subflow. Each subflow is carried by a respective path associated with the connection. The triggering includes at least one of constraining and/or adjusting an allowable throughput at a service provider for one or more of the at least one subflow. The selected traffic policy is to be implemented in a transport layer.

It is provided a method, including determining a parameter of a data flow to pass through a non-deterministic network and a buffering device; configuring the data flow in at least one of a network element of the non-deterministic network and the buffering device based on the parameter, wherein the parameter is determined based on a capability of the buffering device

A ring-based switch has nodes with a link management logic having forward and reverse link outputs couplable to other nodes, forward and reverse link inputs adapted couplable to other nodes, and memory coupled to the link management logic. The link management logic has a first mode where packet bursts are received through the forward link input and transmitted on its forward link output. The link management logic has a second mode where packet bursts are received through the forward link input and transmitted on its reverse link output; and a third mode where packet bursts are received through the reverse link input and transmitted on its forward link output. The node transmits test packets over the forward link output and, if no acknowledgment is received over the reverse link input within a predetermined test-time interval, the link management logic configures in the second mode.
