Method of monitoring packet communications traffic |
June 14, 2005 |
| A flow of packet or cell-based communications traffic is monitored by: setting a first time interval over which measurements are to be made; counting number of packets flowing during that time interval and using the count to derive parameters which are indicative of the traffic meeting a |

Derivation of equivalent bandwidth of an information flow |
September 30, 2003 |
| A connection admission controller determines whether to admit the requested connection according to whether admission would cause a bandwidth used to exceed a maximum bandwidth allowed. For determining the bandwidth used, an aggregate equivalent bandwidth of all connections is determined |

Method and apparatus for managing communications traffic |
July 29, 2003 |
| A traffic source emits packet-based traffic (ATM) carrying a plurality of variable bit rate calls. The traffic is managed by: measuring a parameter of the current traffic output from the source, using the measured parameter in a comparison with a parameter which is indicative of avai |

Control of distributed allocation of channels |
May 15, 2001 |
| Admission control for a communications link involves maintaining a record at each end of the link of which channels on the link are free and allocating a free channel so that the probability of both ends allocating the same channel to different information flows is controllable. The |
