Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A method is described to estimate the current datapacket rate CCRi, called herein current cell rate, of a connection out of a plurality of connections which are carrying datapackets via a multiplexed transmission channel in a communication network. The method includes the steps of: - storing in a buffer (B) incoming datapackets of the connections; - determining the total number of datapackets BCTO in the buffer (B);, - determining the number of datapackets of the connection BCi in the buffer (B);, - measuring an aggregate input datapacket rate CIN of the buffer (B);, - estimating the current datapacket rate CCRi via the formulae: CCRi=CIN. BCi, _____, BCTO

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 19, 1997. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended March 19, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 19, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
