Abstract
Embodiments herein describe a system including a plurality of network resources providing communication between a plurality of source end points and a plurality of destination end points, where a first source end point transmits data to a first destination end point by using information about a size, route, and timing of data exchanges to pre-allocate resources in the system for a predefined time frame and use a common time reference among the first end points and the second end points to commence transmission of the data at a time when an allocation time frame begins.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a plurality of network resources providing communication between a plurality of source end points and a plurality of destination end points, wherein a first source end point transmits data to a first destination end point by:
- making a request for and obtaining a reservation to reserve an end-to-end path for a given time interval by specifying a source of the data, a destination of the data, an amount of the data to be exchanged, and a time at which the data is to be transmitted.
A method comprising:
- allowing a first source end point of a plurality of source end points to transmit data to a first destination end point of a plurality of destination end points interconnected by a plurality of network resources of a network by:
- making a request for and obtaining a reservation to reserve an end-to-end path for a given time interval by specifying a source of the data, a destination of the data, an amount of the data to be exchanged, and a time at which the data is to be transmitted.
A system comprising:
- a plurality of network resources providing data transmission between first end points and second end points by:
- using information about a size, route, and timing of data exchanges to pre-allocate resources in the system for a predefined time frame and use a common time reference among the first end points and the second end points to commence data transmission at a time when an allocation time frame begins.
