Method for allocating protection bandwidth in a telecommunications mesh network
InactiveUS7308198B1Eliminates and greatly reduces disadvantage and problemEliminates and greatly reduces disadvantageMultiplex system selection arrangementsOptical multiplexCross connectionLogical graph
A telecommunications mesh network includes a plurality of nodes each interconnected by an edge. A traffic demand is received having a working path with a link of edges interconnecting a source node with a destination node. The telecommunications mesh network has one or more pre-cross-connected trails associated therewith that are subdivided into one or more subtrails. Subtrails that do not meet pre-determined conditions are discarded. A logical graph representation of the telecommunications mesh network is created from subtrails that have not been discarded. Unused, shortcut, and rival edges are inserted into the logical graph. A shortest admissible protection path from the source node to the destination node is identified from the logical graph.

Light is converted to an electric signal by performing a light-to-frequency conversion of the light received during a first phase of operation. Following the first phase of operation, a light-to-time conversion is performed on light received during a second phase of operation. Following the second phase of operation a digital representation of the light is generated in response to the light-to-frequency conversion and the light-to-time conversion.

A strategic value model provides an ability to evaluate the feasibility of implementing an information technology initiative. The flow process begins by gathering information associated with the operation of the business in categories pertaining to the information technology initiative desired to be implemented. Strategic value ratings are applied to each criteria in the categories. The initiatives are categorized so that like initiatives are assessed against each other. A determination is made to identify which initiatives are to be funded in accordance with the applied strategic value ratings. Funding can then be established for an initiative based on this determination.

A processor may operate in one of a plurality of operating states. In a Normal operating state, the processor is not involved with a memory transaction. Upon receipt of a transaction instruction to access a memory location, the processor transitions to a Transaction operating state. In the Transaction operating state, the processor performs changes to a cache line and data associated with the memory location. While in the Transaction operating state, any changes to the data and the cache line is not visible to other processors in the computing system. These changes become visible upon the processor entering a Commit operating state in response to receipt of a commit instruction. After changes become visible, the processor returns to the Normal operating state. If an abort event occurs prior to receipt of the commit instruction, the processor transitions to an Abort operating state where any changes to the data and cache line are discarded.
