Latest Patents
John E Dawson holds a patent for a "Method and apparatus for measuring and monitoring the performance within a performance measurement, communication fault detection, and fault isolation system for a ring-based communication network." This invention includes mechanisms and procedures operable within each port logic device of a communication network. It counts the number of message packets lost by the network versus those lost by a particular port or its attached communication station. The result is a generic loss metric for that specific port. Positive counts indicate packets lost by the remainder of the network, while negative counts represent packets lost by the port or its attached station. The invention also provides capabilities for a group of ports, focusing on messages containing a specific targeted address. By analyzing the results of these metrics, the system can detect and isolate faults within the communication network effectively.
