FALB: a FC protocol link aggregation algorithm by Zhaohui WANG, Jianliang SHEN, Xia ZHANG, Ting CHEN

“…Link aggregation is a common technology to increase the bandwidth by bundling multiple physical links into a logical link.However, in a switching network based on the fibre channel (FC) protocol, as the forwarding traffic continues to concentrate, traditional static link aggregation algorithms have problems of poor load balance and low reliability.A dynamic load balancing link aggregation algorithm flow adaptive load balancing (FALB) based on FC protocol messages was proposed, which could realize dynamic adaptive matching of traffic and a reconnection protection mechanism for broken links.The results show that compared with the static load balancing algorithm design, the algorithm mechanism could maintain the effective bandwidth ratio above 95%, effectively improving the load balancing characteristics and reliability of the aggregated link.…”

Psychopathology of Time in Brain Disease and Schizophrenia by John Cutting, Herta Silzer

“…A review of the literature on the effect of brain damage revealed that some phenomena (déjà vu, reduplication of time, altered tempo to events) were linked with right hemisphere dysfunction, one phenomenon (incorrect sequencing of events) was linked with left anterior brain damage, and others (disrupted “biological clock”, disturbed serise of rate of flow of current or past events) could arise from subcortical as well as focal cortical damage. …”

Anomaly detection algorithm based on fractal characteristics of large-scale network traffic by XU Xiao-dong1, ZHU Shi-rui2, SUN Ya-min1

“…Based on the fractal structure of the large-scale network traffic aggregation, anomalies were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively from perspective of the global and local scaling exponents.Multi-fractal singular spectrum and Lipschitz regularity distribution were used to analyze the fractal parameters of abnormal flow, trying to identify the relationship between the changes of these parameters and the emergence of anomalies.Experimental results show that the emergence of anomalies has obvious signs on the singular spectrum and Lipschitz regularity distribution.Using this feature, a new multi-fractal-based anomaly detection algorithm and a new detection framework were constructed.On the DARPA/Lincoln laboratory intrusion detection evaluation data set 1999, this algorithm’s detection rate is high at low false alarm rate, which is better than EMERALD.…”

Study on self-similar call admission control algorithm in WiM AX by Yong-dong HU, Guo-xin WU, Ning QIAN, San-feng ZHANG

“…As to the self-similarity of WiMAX network traffic,M/Pareto model was proposed to model network traf-fic.Through the statistical nature between the M/Pareto model and FBM traffic model,the parameters of the M/Pareto were mapped to the ones of FBM traffic model.The effective bandwidth formula was derived for M/Pareto model para-meters.Whereby,a self-similar call admission control algorithm(SS-CAC)was designed.It avoided getting the parame-ter values of FBM traffic flow model with the measurem method and adapted to the self-similarity of WiMAX traffic.Since the calculation of the effective bandwidth was accurate and convenient,simulation results show that SS-CAC greatly reduces the call blocking rate and improves the bandwidth utilization.…”
