| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 5321815 | Route selection using cached partial trees in a data communications network A process for selecting a least weight path between two nodes in a data communication network uses partial trees created and cached in prior route selection operations. All root nodes on possible paths between the two nodes are identified. Any cached tree... | 06/14/1994 |
| 5253161 | Method for routing data in a near-optimal manner in a distributed data communications network A method to produce near-optimal routes for the flow of data between clusters in a distributed data communications network. A backbone traffic matrix and a backbone topology at the cluster level are used to produce minimum hop routes, minimum delay routes... | 10/12/1993 |
| 5216591 | Method for efficient distributed data communications network backbone node location A method for selecting the most cost-efficient locations for backbone nodes in a distributed data network is disclosed. The method iteratively evaluates candidate backbone node locations, adding in each iteration the candidate whose addition to the networ... | 06/01/1993 |
| 5031093 | System for establishing route by selecting minimum of time-independent link parameters of incremental values A routing matrix for fixed routing is derived for a communications network having a plurality of nodes interconnected by links each having a link parameter. A second node which can be reached from a first node by a single hop is determined, and a third no... | 07/09/1991 |
| 5029075 | Routing method in a computer communication network system Predetermined information is included in an information portion for a given node, which is included in load information sent through a link selected as a circuit for sending data to the given node. The link used for transmission of load information with t... | 07/02/1991 |
| 4987536 | Communication system for sending an identical routing tree to all connected nodes to establish a shortest route and transmitting messages thereafter The communications network includes a plurality of interconnected nodes and communication links between nodes. Computing apparatus in provided for determining a shortest path from a starting node to a destination node. The computing apparatus is adapted s... | 01/22/1991 |
| 4979118 | Predictive access-control and routing system for integrated services telecommunication networks A predictive access-control and routing system for a telecommunications network operating in uncertain environments and capble of handling heterogeneous traffic. The system is a real-time, state-dependent network traffic control system in which the contro... | 12/18/1990 |
| 4969088 | Hardware mechanism for automatically detecting hot-spot references and diverting same from memory traffic in a multiprocessor computer system An interconnection network management architecture for use with a large shared memory multiprocessor computing system including a plurality of processors and a plurality of separately addressable main memory modules. Two parallel, interconnection networks... | 11/06/1990 |
| 4967345 | Method of selecting least weight routes in a communications network A least weight route computation algorithm for use in computing routes through a data communications network is improved by recording the number of equally weighted paths to a particular node through different predecessor nodes. If a route must be selecte... | 10/30/1990 |
| 4901277 | Network data flow control technique Data flow in a communications network is controlled by a downstream node specifying the maximum average speeds of a plurality of data streams sent from an upstream node on a plurality of data paths.... | 02/13/1990 |
