Evaluating measured distribution for constructing traffic shapers for communication network, by comparing probability distribution function with reference distribution

摘要

The event space for a reference distribution and the measured distribution is divided into disjoint regions marked for positive, negative or neutral evaluation. The markings are used in determining deviation from the reference distribution and for each event, only errors in a sign (plus or minus) are considered, and each error term is only taken into consideration if the evaluation of the region in which it lies and the sign of the deviation are in the same direction. Independent claims are also included for a method of constructing traffic shapers for communication networks, and for a traffic shaper for communication networks.
