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.

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.

A gateway for use in a computing system to interface a host with the subsystem for acting as a work accelerator to the host, the gateway having an streaming engine for controlling the streaming of batches of data into and out of the gateway in response to pre-compiled data exchange synchronisation points attained by the subsystem, wherein the streaming of batches of data is selectively via at least one of an accelerator interface, a data connection interface, a gateway interface and an memory interface, wherein the streaming engine is configured to perform data preparation processing of the batches of data streamed into the gateway prior to said batches of data being streamed out of the gateway, wherein the data preparation processing comprises at least one of: data augmentation; decompression; and decryption.

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.

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.

A method includes receiving a packet. The method further includes determining whether the packet is part of a responsive connection. The method further includes determining whether a responsive buffer is full in response to a determination that the packet is part of the responsive connection. The method further includes applying a responsive probability to the packet in response to a determination that the responsive buffer is full. The method further includes determining whether to drop the packet based on the responsive probability. The method further includes accepting the packet for processing in response to a determination that the responsive buffer is not full or in response to a determination not to drop the packet.

An interface device includes a conversion circuit that converts data that conforms to a first communication interface standard into data that conforms to a second communication interface standard, first and second flow control units that execute respectively a first flow control that conforms to the first communication interface standard on the first device, and a second flow control that conforms to the second communication interface standard on the second device, first and second communication circuits that receive data from and transmit data to the first device under control of the first flow control unit and the second device under control of the second flow control unit, respectively. Data is transmitted from the second to the first device in accordance with first and second credits used in the first and second flow controls, respectively, and a data amount associated with the first credit is equivalent to a data amount associated with the second credit.

A technique of managing communications among multiple modules of a munition includes receiving, by a first module of the munition, a first set of messages from a second module of the munition. The first set of messages is received in a first protocol used for communicating among the modules of the munition over a computer network. The technique further includes translating, by an interface assembly of the first module, the first set of messages in the first protocol into a second set of messages in a second protocol. The second protocol is a native protocol of the first module and is different from the first protocol. The technique still further includes providing the second set of messages from the interface module to an operational component of the first module, the operational component then responding to the second set of messages for performing a function of the munition.
