Abstract: The invention provides a fiber with continuously changing chromatic dispersion; it limits the quantity of dispersion-compensating fiber needed in a transmission system to compensate the cumulative chromatic dispersion in the line fiber. The fiber has a higher chromatic dispersion at a first end than at the other end, referred to as the second end. The chromatic dispersion varies along the fiber, decreasing over at least a portion of the fiber. At the first end the chromatic dispersion can be of the order of the dispersion of a conventional line fiber, i.e. close to 8 ps/(nm.km). At the second end the chromatic dispersion can have a value of the order of 4 ps/(nm.km). The fiber is used as the line fiber in a transmission system at the beginning of a section between two repeaters. The chromatic dispersion in the vicinity of the first end limits non-linear effects at the beginning of the section; the decrease of the chromatic dispersion in the fiber ensures that at its second end the fiber can be connected to a fiber having lower chromatic dispersion. The fiber can be produced with an index profile in the shape of a rectangle and a ring by varying only the indices, and not the radii.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer-readable storage medium for regulating packet flow through a device such as a router with a switch fabric. Congestion information, such as statistics on bandwidth utilization, is collected for each of a plurality of queues at an egress stage of the device. Based on the bandwidth utilization statistics, computations are performed to evaluate a “discard probability” for each queue. This information is transmitted to the ingress stage, either periodically or at other controlled time periods, such as when the discard probability changes significantly. The ingress stage can then proceed with controllable transmission or non-transmission of packets to the switch fabric, depending on the queue for which the packet is destined and also depending on the discard probability for that queue. In this way, congestion can be avoided even before it even has a chance to occur. This leads to improved bandwidth utilization, since packets which are discarded at the ingress stage will not unnecessarily take up other resources in the device.

Abstract: In a method for the automatic log-in of a subscriber station in a motor vehicle into an external information system, a non-automatic log-in is first performed by transmitting to the external information system a subscriber identification, a pertaining password and a station identification. The automatic log-in for the subscriber identification is activated by transmitting a corresponding request from the subscriber station to the external information system, establishing a secret code for the subscriber identification in the external information system, and transmitting the secret code in a hidden manner to the subscriber station. The secret code is stored in a hidden manner in the subscriber station. An automatic log-in of the subscriber station into the external information system is implemented by transmitting to the external information system the subscriber identification without the password, the station identification and transmitting the code in a hidden manner.
