The invention relates to a method and an array for determining the IP addresses of a terminal array connected to an IP network by means of a telecommunication network. A pseudo-hardware address is administratively assigned as identifier to the subscriber connection of the terminal array. Said identifier is stored in the peripheral area of the telecommunication network and transmitted in an IP address request by the terminal array to a network management unit for assigning IP addresses. Said network management unit assigns an IP address using the identifier of the terminal connection and transmits said address to the terminal array.

The invention relates to a method, a network management unit for assigning virtual addresses and a network termination unit for determining virtual addresses of a terminal unit that is connected by means of a terminal connection and a subscriber-side network termination unit of a virtual network. A network management unit transmits a second identifier assigned to the terminal connection together with virtual addresses of the network termination unit in order to assign virtual addresses of the network termination unit in response to its address request messages. A virtual address requested with said second identifier is used as virtual address of the terminal unit.

A system and method for uniformly administering parameters for a load distribution and load control of a computer platform includes a processor and a storage mechanism. Software components run on the processor, and include a manager component, which is a load model manager, that uniformly administers parameters for a load distribution and load control of the system. The platform further includes a catalog stored in the storage mechanism via which the load model manager administers the parameters. The catalog includes a plurality of tables. Each of the tables respectively includes a load model which is a complete, consistent set of parameters that influence the load distribution of the load control of the computer system.

Method for load handling in a multiprocessor system, particularly a multiprocessor system of a communication system, whereby arising jobs can be processed by a plurality of processors under real-time conditions. When individual processors proceed into overload due to locally heavy load situations, then a discharge of the local overload is achieved in that further requests arriving at the processor in this load situation are forwarded insofar as possible or necessary to other processors that are not overloaded.

Method for overload prevention in a switching center of a communication network. For optimizing the overload prevention of a switching center, the operating personnel assign fixed priority levels bundle-by-bundle to the ports of the trunks. Since this allocation is often implemented in an unprofessional manner, the behavior of the switching center is correspondingly unfavorable in case of an overload. In order to avoid this problem, the priority levels for ports of trunks are automatically assigned by the software of the switching center in accordance with the method for overload prevention.
