Abstract

Systems, methods, devices, processes, procedures, algorithms, networks, and network elements are described for time-scheduled and/or time-reserved dat networks. Invention provides capabilities for synchronizing data networks and/or data network links; for establishing time-schedules, time-reservations, time-schedule reservations, and/or reservation time-slots for packets, cells, frames, and/or datagrams; and for transferring, transmitting, switching, routing, and/or receiving time-sensitive, high-reliability, urgent, and/or other time-scheduled, time-reserved, time-allocated, and/or time-scheduled-reservation packets, cells, frames, and/or datagrams, such as real-time and high-priority messages over these networks. The invention(s) enables packet-, cell-, datagram- and/or frame-based networks to thereby efficiently, reliably, and in guaranteed real-time, to switch and/or route data such as voice, video, streaming, and other real-time, high-priority, high-reliability, and/or expedited data with guaranteed delivery and guaranteed quality of service. Networks may be fixed, point-to-point, mobile, ad-hoc, optical, electrical, and/or wireless.
