摘要:
A communication switch comprises a plurality of ports and a processing unit configured to identify source ports and destination ports from the plurality of ports on a per virtual link basis. Each virtual link comprises one or more source ports via which frames are received from one or more source nodes and one or more destination ports via which received frames are forwarded to one or more destination nodes. For at least one virtual link, the processing unit is configured to accept more than one of the plurality of ports as source ports.

The present invention describes a method for the measurement of the stabilizer additive concentration in electroless metal and metal alloy plating electrolytes comprising a voltammetric measurement. Said method comprises the steps a. conditioning of the working electrode, b. interaction of intermediates on the working electrode, c. measurement of the Faradaic current and d. determining the Faradaic current.

The aim of the present invention is that of establishing a fault-tolerant global time in a fault-tolerant communication system of a distributed real-time system. For this purpose, a fault-tolerant message switching unit is provided, which is composed of four independent switching units. These four independent switching units jointly establish a fault-tolerant time. The terminal systems are connected to a fault-tolerant message switching unit via two independent fail-silent communication channels, so that the clock synchronization and network connections are preserved, even if a part of the fault-tolerant switching unit or of a communication channel fails.
摘要:
A method for start-up of a network, including a number of nodes, which are connected via channels. The nodes exchange information in the form of messages via the channels. The transition phase of a synchronizing node from its initial phase to a synchronized phase is separated in a first integration phase and a second subsequent cold-start phase. A synchronizing node in the integration phase listens to messages being sent from nodes in the synchronized phase and only reacts to an integration message (i-frame) if the integration message is a valid message. Furthermore, a synchronizing node, wherein integration of the synchronizing node to a set of already synchronized nodes was not successful after a specifiable period, changes into the cold-start phase, in which a cold-start procedure of the node is extracted, wherein in the cold-start phase the node does not react to integration messages of a node in the synchronized phase.

A communication system comprises a plurality of nodes and a switch having a plurality of ports, each port coupled to one of the plurality of nodes. At least one of the plurality of nodes is configured to transmit a first unregulated flow of frames associated with a first virtual link to a first port of the plurality of ports of the switch. The switch is configured to regulate the first unregulated flow of frames by buffering frames of the first unregulated flow in a first input queue associated with the first virtual link, applying traffic shaping parameters associated with the first virtual link to the frames in the first input queue associated with the first virtual link, and outputting the first regulated flow of frames to one or more output queues associated with one or more output ports based on the first virtual link.

摘要:
A system comprises a plurality of nodes, at least one of the plurality of nodes configured to insert, on a per-virtual link basis, a delay value into a dynamic delay field of a frame corresponding to the respective virtual link, wherein the dynamic delay value represents latency of frames of the respective virtual link. The system also comprises a switch having a plurality of ports, each port coupled to one of the plurality of nodes. The switch is configured to route frames received from the plurality of nodes to one or more of the plurality of nodes. At least one of the plurality of nodes is configured to store frames received from the switch in a buffer and to update the value in the dynamic delay field to reflect the end-to-end system delay.
