摘要： The invention relates to a method for calculating in a network that comprises links a distribution of forward prices for using the links in the network. The method comprises the following steps: a) a provision step for providing an observed forward price of a forward contract for each of the links, b) a determination step for deriving from the observed forward prices a proposed joint distribution of forward prices by applying a forward pricing process to each of the links, thereby generating a geographical arbitrage in the network; c) an arbitrage reduction step for reducing the geographical arbitrage in the proposed joint distribution of forward prices by a geographical arbitrage reduction value; d) a verification step for verifying if the proposed joint distribution of forward prices together with the observed forward prices has a defined property in response to the determination step and the arbitrage reduction step; if the verification step results in the defined property being not present e) a generation step for generating a property reduction value; repeating the determination step, the arbitrage reduction step and the verification step, applying the property reduction value to the forward pricing process of each of the links.

摘要： A new architecture capable of utilizing the existing twisted pair interface between customer premises equipment and an associated serving local switching office is used to provide a vast array of new services to customers. Using an intelligent services director (ISD) at the customer services equipment as an interface for the equipment to an existing twisted cable pair and a facilities management platform (FMP) at the serving local switching office as an interface to various networks and service opportunities, new services such as simultaneous, multiple calls (voice analog or digital), facsimile, Internet traffic and other data can be transmitted and received over the twisted cable pair by using digital subscriber loop transmission schemes. The new services include but are not limited to videophone, utility meter reading and monitoring, broadcasting and multicasting. The architecture provides for fault-tolerant, transparent interaction of components and services and supports a variety of standards for each level of the open systems interconnection layers and layers of TCP/IP. The FMP connects electronically or optically to the public switched telephone network, Internet backbone, a private Intranet as well as other possible network connections.

摘要： A hybrid telephony system with packet switching as well as circuit switching optimizes utilization of transport networks, and is accessible from any conventional telephone set. A call originating from a circuit-switched network is passed through a gateway computer to a backbone packet-switched network, and then through a second gateway computer to a second circuit-switched network where it terminates. The voice of both the originating party and the terminating party is converted to data packets by the near-end gateway computer and then converted back to voice by the far-end gateway computer. In an alternative scenario, the originating party uses a computer on the packet-switched network, which replaces the originating circuit-switched network and the originating computer. Powered by CPUs, DSPs, ASICs disks, telephony interfaces, and packet network interfaces, the gateway computers may have media conversion modules, speech processing modules and routing resolution modules, and are capable of translating telephony call signaling as well as voice between circuit-switched and packet-switched networks. Optionally, the gateway computers may also have analog trunking modules, MF and DTMF digit modules and special services modules, in order to support analog circuit-switched networks and secure telephone calls.

摘要： ATM transmission equipment provided between existing exchange or terminals of carrier equipment that, for example, can emulate existing transmission paths, and also implement T point interfaces for an in-home unit. The ATM transmission equipment detects communication anomalies or extracts maintenance/operation information from data strings on STM lines, such as high-speed digital lines or ISDN lines, and replaces only the necessary information resulting from those extractions or detections with alarm signals. The alarm signals are then transmitted together with information channels to the ATM network via a cell assembler/dissembler. The information channels and alarm information that arrive from the ATM network are rearranged into STM line data strings and output to LT units, DSUs, or terminals.

摘要： In advanced digital networks for providing selective point-to-point communications between subscribers terminals and broadband server equipment operated by a plurality of independent information service providers, routing through the network is controlled by functionality identified as a Level 1 Gateway. The Level 1 Gateway will perform a variety of functions including communications port management of transmissions of information between subscribers and servers, processing of billing information and session management. The Level 1 Gateway generates menus of providers, either as a function of providers available through a particular portion of the network or in a customized fashion specified by individual subscribes. The Level 1 Gateway may also provide a PIN number functionality, e.g. to permit parents to limit which providers their children can access. The Level 1 Gateway is itself an interactive device in that subscribers can input information and receive display information from the Gateway to define or modify their own video dial tone service through the network.

摘要： A video server in which each media segment file sever (MSFS) stores media segment files (MSFs) forming video data, and sequence control brokers (SCBs) installed between the video server and subscribers terminals receive video requests from the subscriber terminals, and read out the requested MSFs from the MSFSs. The readout MSFs are exchanged by an ATM switch to be transmitted to the SCBs respectively, which outputs the MSFs at predetermined intervals to the request-sender subscriber terminals.
