His work focuses on enhancing network management systems and improving the efficiency of information retrieval in digital networks.
Latest Patents
Muller’s latest patents include a method and system for identifying soft permanent virtual circuits. This invention describes how to identify switched virtual channel (SVC) connections and soft permanent virtual circuits (SPVCs) that traverse randomly selected switches in a digital communications network. The network management system (NMS) plays a crucial role in provisioning these circuits across the network from endpoint to endpoint. Two embodiments of this invention are described. In the first, the NMS retains information about the cross-connect route of the SPVC for future retrieval. In the second, the NMS assigns an identifier or tag to the SPVC when the request to establish the circuit is made. This tag is then propagated through the network core switches as the SPVC is established, forming part of the information package stored at each switch. The SPVC tag is provided to the NMS in response to inquiries about the identity of the SPVC crossing any randomly selected core switch.
Another notable patent by Muller is a network management protocol designed for the efficient retrieval of information or objects from managed elements or other network management systems. This new protocol introduces qualifier bits appended to an information retrieval command, specifying the subclasses of the requested objects.
