Apparatuses, methods and storage medium associated with a traffic shaper having one or more policers and adaptive timers are disclosed herein. The traffic shaper is to shape packet traffics of a plurality of regulated traffic generating entities. The policer is to process incoming packets of the regulated traffic generating entities and determine whether to forward or temporarily hold the packets. A buffer is to store the packets to be temporarily held; and the timer task manager is to process timer tasks of the regulated traffic generating entities and determine whether to discard the timer tasks or forward to regulate release of held packets of the regulated traffic generating entities. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.

Traffic shaper with policer(s) and adaptive timers

A method, an apparatus and/or a system to regulate yellow traffic in a network is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes quantifying, an extent of violation of a transmission rate of a data traffic relative to a committed bandwidth profile in a network. The data traffic is generated through a client device coupled to the network. The method also includes regulating, a volume of the data traffic associated with a particular level of compliance relative to the committed bandwidth profile, at an edge node of the network, based on the quantification. The committed bandwidth profile specifies an average rate of committed and excess data traffic generated by the client device. The particular level of compliance is characterized by the transmission rate exceeding a committed information rate and lying within a peak information rate. The peak information rate is maximum allowable rate of admission of frames into the network.

Adaptive method and system of regulation of yellow traffic in a network

Skip based control logic for first in first out buffer is disclosed. In one embodiment, an isochronous data packet placed in an isochronous receive first in first out (IRFIFO) buffer coupled to an isochronous receive direct memory access (IRDMA) is detected. Further, a header of the isochronous data packet is read. Furthermore, a validity of the isochronous data packet is determined. Also, a read operation of remaining data of the isochronous data packet is skipped if the isochronous data packet is determined as invalid.

Skip based control logic for first in first out buffer

Skip based control logic for first in first out buffer is disclosed. In one embodiment, a host controller interface (HCI) device includes an isochronous receive first in first out (IRFIFO) buffer. The IRFIFO buffer includes a storage for storing an isochronous data packet received from a guest device. Further, the IRFIFO buffer includes a write pointer for pointing to a write address of the storage for a write operation. Furthermore, the IRFIFO buffer includes a read pointer for pointing to a read address of the storage for a read operation. In addition, the IRFIFO includes a control logic for incrementing the read pointer by a value of a skip parameter of a skip register if the isochronous data packet is not valid for the read operation.

A system and method of a skip based control logic for a first in first out (FIFO) buffer is disclosed. In one embodiment, a FIFO buffer system includes a storage for storing data, a write pointer for pointing to a write address of the storage for a write operation, and a read pointer for pointing to a read address of the storage for a read operation. Further, the FIFO buffer system includes a control logic for incrementing the read pointer based on a skip parameter of a skip register. The skip parameter is used to characterize a validity of the data for the read operation.

A method and system for reducing channel changing time in multicast media, that can include the steps of receiving at least one of a plurality of available channels from a service provider at a residential gateway through a network, ranking the popularity of at least one of the available channels at a ranking engine connected to the residential gateway, and requesting to receive a number of the channels available from the service provider at the residential gateway based on the ranking. The rank is at least partly based on the data stored in the database.
