IPC: H04L12/66

Abstract: The method of buffering packets in a digital communications device
includes defining an n-level hierarchy of memory partitions, wherein each non-top level
partition has one or more child partitions at an immediately lower level of the hierarchy.
The memory partitions at the top-most level are pre-configured with a target memory
occupancy size, and the target occupancy for each memory partition situated at a lower
level is recursively computed in a dynamic manner based on the aggregate congestion of
its parent partition, until the target occupancies for the bottom-most memory partitions
are determined. Each traffic flow which uses the buffer is associated with one of the
memory partitions at the bottom-most level of the hierarchy and packet discard is enabled
in the event the actual memory occupancy of a traffic flow exceeds its target occupancy.
The memory partitions at higher levels are preferably associated with a set of traffic
flows, such as traffic flows associated with a particular egress port and class of service, to
thereby selectively control aggregate congestion. Traffic flow sets may be also be defined
in respect of adaptive flows such as TCP flows which decrease their transmission rates in
response to congestion notification, and non-adaptive flows such as UDP flows which do
not decrease their transmission rates. Random early detection (RED) is applied to such
traffic flows based on the target occupancy of the corresponding memory partition. The
method is expected to improve network performance, allow full buffer sharing, permit the
weighted distribution of buffer space within a memory partition, and scale easily to large
systems.

Abstract: A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a method and
apparatus for correcting the offset induced by Field Effect Transistor (FET)
photo-conductive effects in a solid state X-ray detector (110). The method
and apparatus include reading out (140) twice as many rows (scan lines) as
actually exist in the scan area (115) of the X-ray detector (110). The
additional rows may be read out between the actuation of "real" scan lines on
the X-ray detector. The additional row times may be used to measure the
"signal" induced by FET photo-conductivity. In a preferred embodiment, the
"real" rows may be actuated during odd lines, and even lines will be used to
measure the signal induced by FET photo-conductivity. To correct (150) for
the offset induced by photo-conductive FETs, an even row signal may be
subtracted from the preceding odd row signal. The correction for the offset
induced by photo-conductive FETs may occur in addition to normal offset
correction.
