The present invention relates generally to data communications systems; more specifically, to Quality of Service (QoS) functions and mechanisms for providing consistent, predictable data delivery in broadband aggregation networks.
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology is widely-used today for increasing the bandwidth of digital data transmissions over the existing telephone network infrastructure. Other types of Layer 1 (L1) transport mechanisms in use include Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) and WIMAX. In a typical system configuration, a plurality of DSL subscribers are connected to a service provider (SP) network through a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM), which concentrates and multiplexes signals at the telephone service provider location to the broader wide area network (WAN). Basically, a DSLAM takes connections from many customers or subscribers and aggregates them onto a single, high-capacity connection. The DSLAM may also provide additional functions such as Internet Protocol (IP) address assignment for the subscribers, IP Access Control Lists (ACLs), etc.
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) protocol networks have traditionally been utilized for communications between DSLAM devices and Broadband Remote Access Servers (BRAS) that provide authentication and subscriber management functions. A BRAS is a device that terminates remote users at the corporate network or Internet users at the Internet service provider (ISP) network, and commonly provides firewall, authentication, and routing services for remote users. Next generation BRAS devices are frequently referred to as Broadband Network Gateway (BBNG) devices.
The ATM protocol is an international standard in which multiple service types (such as voice, video, or data) are conveyed in fixed-length �cells� over point-to-point network connections. Data packet cells travel through the ATM switches from the user network interface (UNI) to the network node interface (NNI) through a process called Virtual Path Identifier/Virtual Channel Identifier (VPI/VCI) translation. The VPI/VCI identifiers are used by the ATM switches to switch/direct the subscriber traffic to a given feature server, and in the reverse direction to forward server traffic to a given DSLAM/subscriber, without ambiguity. Furthermore, the VPI/VCI mechanism is used by the feature server to identify the subscriber.
By way of background, U.S. Pat. No. 6,801,533, for example, teaches a system and method for proxy signaling in a DSLAM and generally describes a DSL network that includes communication transfer of signals from a DSLAM to a remote access server over a high-speed ATM network. Transmission of packet data over an ATM network is also taught in U.S. Pat. No. 6,785,232. U.S. Pat. No. 5,818,842 teaches a communication system with an interface device that connects a plurality of interconnected ATM switches to Local Area Network (LAN) interface adapters for connection to LAN networks.
Many service provider (SP) networks are being migrated away from ATM protocol networks to Ethernet networks. Ethernet is a technology that originated based on the idea of peers on a network sending messages in what was essentially a common wire or channel. Each peer has a globally unique key, known as the Media Access Control (MAC) address to ensure that all systems in an Ethernet have distinct addresses. Most modern Ethernet installations use Ethernet switches (also referred to as �bridges�) to implement an Ethernet �cloud� or �island� that provides connectivity to the attached devices. The switch functions as an intelligent data traffic forwarder in which frames are sent to ports where the destination device is attached. Examples of network switches for use in Ethernet network environments are found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,850,542, 6,813,268 and 6,850,521.
Regardless of the network technology employed, IP Quality of Service (QoS) management is usually needed both to prioritize some applications, ensuring that they receive minimized data delivery delay and assured bandwidth, and to efficiently utilize the available bandwidth of the network. This IP QoS management is typically achieved using mechanisms such as policing, shaping, and queuing.
Traffic policing mechanisms commonly rely on a token bucket algorithm to enforce a maximum rate sent (egress) or received (ingress) for traffic at any given moment. A policer typically regulates traffic by dropping data packets when the rate of traffic exceeds the specified rate limit.
Traffic shaping typically delays excess traffic using a buffer or queuing mechanism to hold packets and shape the flow when the data rate of the source is higher than expected. Generic Traffic Shaping (GTS), Class-Based Traffic Shaping (CBTS), Distributed Traffic Shaping (DTS) and Frame Relay Traffic Shaping (FRTS) are examples of shaping mechanisms. Shaping may be applied to the output of a single first-in-first-out (FIFO) queue, or may be applied to a number of queues using an IP queuing scheme where traffic is classified into queues based on context information in the IP header, such as the source or destination address. These queues may then be serviced using a queuing algorithm such as a class-based weighted fair queue (CBWFQ), for example.
A primary reason for using traffic shaping is to regulate traffic in order to avoid congestion that can occur when the sent traffic exceeds the access speed of its remote, target interface. Examples of traffic shaping mechanisms are found in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2005/0163049, which teaches a packet shaper that ensures proper packet transmission within user-specific minimum bandwidth; and U.S. Patent Publication No. 2005/0163049, which teaches a method and apparatus for classifying packets in a data processing device according to a plurality of context-specific sets of processing rules based on context identifiers associated with representative data packets.
QoS functions such as shaping have been traditionally performed on a physical port in order to reduce the total amount of traffic sent to the next box in a network. However, in the case of DSL and FTTH, often times the next Layer 2 (L2) hop is a DSLAM that lacks the ability to perform IP QoS functions. For example, many DSLAMs are unable to perform Class-Based Queuing (CPQ) based on widely used protocols such as the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or the IEEE 802.1P specification, which enables Layer 2 switches to prioritize traffic and perform dynamic multicast filtering. (The 802.1P specification works at the media access control (MAC) framing layer, and includes a three-bit header field for prioritization, which allows packets to be grouped into various traffic classes.) This means that if there are facility constraints beyond the next L2 hop which might randomly drop frames without regard for the encapsulated DSCP or 802.1P, Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that set expectations between the customer and provider could be harmed.
In ATM-based architectures such as the DSL Forum TR-59 specification, the DSLAM cannot, or is not trusted to perform IP QOS functions. In this case if the rate of a subscriber line at the DSLAM is exceeded, traffic may be discarded indiscriminately of IP QOS markings. To avoid this shaping is applied at the BRAS based upon layer 2 context such as the ATM VPI/VCI, in order to limit the traffic before it arrives at the DSLAM. The VPI/VCI represents a particular subscriber line on the DSLAM, and traffic to that VPI/VCI is shaped in order to enforce a maximum rate for traffic sent to that line, and to ensure that the physical rate of the DSL line going between the DSLAM and the subscriber is not exceeded. This type of shaping may be used in conjunction with IP queuing.
One problem with this approach, however, is that for IP sessions in Gigabit Ethernet (GE) DSLAM aggregation networks, there is no L2 identifier such as the VPI/VCI at the BRAS upon which to shape all of the traffic to a particular subscriber line. In many cases, the VPI/VCI concept is replaced at L2 with a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) that is shared among multiple subscribers. This means that there is no single L1, L2, or L3 data plane field (e.g., IP address, MAC address, or portion of a payload) that identifies the subscriber line; hence, there is no identifier for the bundle of traffic which needs shared QoS treatment, e.g., shaping and/or policing.
Thus, what is a needed is a new mechanism for identifying a bundle of data packet traffic that needs shared QoS treatment where there is no single L1, L2, or L3 identifier�one that ensures against indiscriminant drops and data packet collisions.
The present invention will be understood more fully from the detailed description that follows and from the accompanying drawings, which, however, should not be taken to limit the invention to the specific embodiments shown, but are for explanation and understanding only.
A QoS mechanism that enables a logical grouping of sessions to be identified based on snooped control plane information is described. In the following description specific details are set forth, such as device types, protocols, network configurations, etc., in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, persons having ordinary skill in the networking arts will appreciate that these specific details may not be needed to practice the present invention.
A computer network is a geographically distributed collection of interconnected subnetworks for transporting data between nodes, such as intermediate nodes and end nodes. A local area network (LAN) is an example of such a subnetwork; a plurality of LANs may be further interconnected by an intermediate network node, such as a router, bridge, or switch, to extend the effective �size� of the computer network and increase the number of communicating nodes. Examples of the end nodes may include servers and personal computers. The nodes typically communicate by exchanging discrete frames or packets of data according to predefined protocols. In this context, a protocol consists of a set of rules defining how the nodes interact with each other.
As shown in
In a typical networking application, packets are received from a framer, such as an Ethernet media access control (MAC) controller, of the I/O subsystem attached to the system bus. A DMA engine in the MAC controller is provided a list of addresses (e.g., in the form of a descriptor ring in a system memory) for buffers it may access in the system memory. As each packet is received at the MAC controller, the DMA engine obtains ownership of the system bus to access a next descriptor ring to obtain a next buffer address in the system memory at which it may, e.g., store (�write�) data contained in the packet. The DMA engine may need to issue many write operations over the system bus to transfer all of the packet data.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, an Internet Subscriber Gateway (ISG) device such as a BRAS snoops control plane traffic for a logical port identifier that allows traffic having varying data plane information (e.g., multiple IP or MAC addresses) to be treated as a single group for QoS purposes. For example, shaping may be based on the logical identity of the snooped access link, which allows multiple users of a single DSL line or pipe (multiple ISP sessions) to be bundled together and managed as a single entity from a QoS perspective despite the lack of a dedicated L2 data path all the way back to the BRAS. This removes shaping and queuing requirements from the DSLAM, FFTH, or other non-QoS capable L2 aggregation devices.
Practitioners in the arts will understand that the term �data plane� refers to capacity and performance issues involved with the data physically traversing the network, while the term �control plane� refers to resources required to maintain proper functionality of the data plane. Control plane functionality typically includes service overhead such as routing, spanning tree, and management of the device. Like the data traffic that traverses the network, control plane requirements utilize processor, memory, buffering, queuing, and bandwidth resources. The term �snooping� is also well-known and generally refers to the act of monitoring and identifying traffic passing over a bus or through an interface. In the context of the present invention, a session group is broadly defined as a bundle of IP or MAC sessions against which QoS policies can be applied. An IP session is defined by traffic to or from a particular IP address or subnet and a MAC session is defined by traffic to or from a particular MAC address.
In one embodiment, DHCP relay agent information (Option 82) is utilized to acquire the identity of an L2 access link (e.g., customer premises equipment (CPE) to DSLAM) in a BRAS device via snooping of control plane information. DHCP Option 82 enables a DHCP relay agent (such as a DSLAM) to include circuit identification (ID) information about itself when forwarding subscriber-oriented DHCP packets to a DHCP server (such as a BRAS). The information sent in the ID may include information about the DSL line and the permanent virtual circuit (PVC) connection that comprises the L2 link. For example, DHCP Option 82 information contains the L2 endpoint identifier (Network Access Server (NAS) port) of the DSLAM. That is, the NAS port of the DSLAM is populated into DHCP Option 82 information that is send to the BRAS. Shaping policies are then applied at the BRAS to a logical grouping of multiple IP or MAC sessions where the grouping is based on the DHCP Option 82 information received.
In addition, other protocols, like the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) can also contain a logical port identifier (e.g., a PPP tag inside a PPP over Ethernet (PPPOE) active discovery request message) that may be used with, or separately from, DHCP Option 82 such that PPP and DHCP-based traffic can be shaped together as a session group. In other embodiments, shaping of L2 sessions may be based on a grouping of other arbitrary items, information, or parameters, e.g., NAS port, IP address, MAC address, subnet, etc.
Included in BRAS device 15 are routed sub-interfaces 21-24, each of which provides a connection with either a SP network, such as a virtual private network (VPN) connection with ISP1, or local applications 14. Each of sub-interfaces 21-24 is shown connected with a DSLAM 18 through u-PE 17 via a path (e.g., VLAN 31, ISP 1) operating in accordance with the IEEE 802.1Q specification, which defines a standard for Virtual LAN and its associated Ethernet frame format. In this example, DSLAM 18 and u-PE 17 are both associated with a wire center 12.
DSLAM 18 is shown connected with customer premises 38 and 39 via PVCs 36 and 37, respectively. A PVC is essentially a fixed virtual circuit (VC) between two network devices that functions as the public data network equivalent of a leased line�encapsulated within a Layer 2 protocol. However, it should be understood that PVC is not required for implementing the present invention. Instead of a PVC, the connection protocol could, for example, be native Ethernet over DSL. Premises 38 & 39 may each comprise asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) modems, which are often referred to as an ATU-R (ADSL Terminal Unit-Remote). In the example of
In the embodiment of
It should be understood that the hardware of BRAS 15 may not use the control plane information in its actual QoS algorithms. Instead, the hardware is typically informed of a set of IP address, MAC address, and other data plane field combinations that will be sent to a common QOS function such as a shaper or policer; it is the set of these combinations that comprise session group 25 from the standpoint of the hardware in BRAS 15.
Furthermore, a session group need not come into existence until more than one subscriber session is seen on a single physical link from the subscriber's premises.
In the diagram of
It is appreciated that in other implementations, DSLAM 41 may be substituted with an optical line termination (OLT) device, a first Ethernet to the home, business, or campus (ETTX) device, or some other broadband access device.
As can be seen, in
In the model of
The model shown in
It should also be understood that elements of the present invention may also be provided as a computer program product which may include a machine-readable medium having stored thereon instructions which may be used to program a computer (e.g., a processor or other electronic device) to perform a sequence of operations. Alternatively, the operations may be performed by a combination of hardware and software. The machine-readable medium may include, but is not limited to, floppy diskettes, optical disks, CD-ROMs, and magneto-optical disks, ROMs, RAMs, EPROMs, EEPROMs, magnet or optical cards, propagation media or other type of media/machine-readable medium suitable for storing electronic instructions. For example, elements of the present invention may be downloaded as a computer program product, wherein the program may be transferred to a node or switch by way of data signals embodied in a carrier wave or other propagation medium via a communication link (e.g., a modem or network connection).
Additionally, although the present invention has been described in conjunction with specific embodiments, numerous modifications and alterations are well within the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the specification and drawings are to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Stop Hitting The Goalie
by Paul on 04/20/08 at 09:26 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Damien Cox of the Toronto Star,
At the GM meetings in the winter, you'll recall, the league essentially declared war on the goalies by demanding a new crackdown on their equipment. Now, the league that less than 10 years ago wouldn't allow a goal to be scored with as much as a toe in the blue paint is allowing the netminders to be physically abused every game.
What the league is setting itself up for, however, is for a series-winning goal, or a Cup-winning goal, to be scored while a goalie is being blatantly hindered from being able to stop the puck.
more and some AO talk too…

November 29, 2014
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- The number of environmental inspections conducted by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources declined sharply in Scott Walker's first year as governor.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports Sunday that the decreases were seen in most categories affecting air and water quality.
Of the biggest drops: Inspections of large farms were down 46 percent, and private well inspections were down 36 percent in 2011.
Environmental advocates say the decline raises questions over whether the DNR is paying less attention to environmental regulation since the Republican Walker took office.
DNR officials say they had a shortage of workers, and they are still meeting federal inspection requirements.

At last the game is available on Android. I loved it on the Web and I must admit that the Android version is really good. let's see which features will be added in the future but I recommend it
(67 stars)
Ever since the new game updated I can hardly ever get 3 wheels anymore and when I do it's almost not worth it because I always get "5". When logging in the game on my phone it freezes almost every time when entering my user name. I have to close out clear everything out and start over. A little frustrating!

This game keeps freezing up

Love the updated version!

I enjoy this game because you can make friends to play with and chat. Would like to have more bonus games with winners and less 4ways. Also should not have a 10 on ultimo. Maybe a new color bonus wheel with different winnings.

A Kind Voice on Music - Jackie Gray
in Music
For this show we introduce you to the very talented Jackie Gray. Emerging artist, Jackie Gray, brings a combination of sultry vocals and piano mastery to her debut album, creating a genre all her own. An authentic singer/songwriter, Gray's music is a tribute to the vintage-era songstresses of the past. Her soulful yet torch/jazz-inspired voice has a timeless sound that was made for both an antique gramophone and a modern radio.
A Nashville transplant, Gray ventured from Seattle to the Music City in 2011, originally anticipating breaking into country music. After teaming up with 27-year music veteran and producer, Jim Reilley, she spent the last several years crafting a style that blends decades and genres into one sound.
With smoky, impassioned singing and an updated nod to the great musical standards, Jackie weaves a tapestry of intelligent lyrics and delightful original ,yet familiar music. Host Mitch Ruth, will ask Jackie about the journey to her unique style, the differences between making music in the Pacific North West and Nashville, and what is coming up in her musical career. Mitch may also get to ask the fabled question, "If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it; what is the best beginner piano method book to use with a six-year old?"

Amond the contenders are such films as Ali, The Boxer, Cinderella Man, The Fighter, Girlfight, Hard Times, The Hurricane, Million Dollar Baby, Raging Bull, Resurrecting the Champ, Rocky and Someone Up There Likes Me.

Talking natural hair with Jamesetta Walker
in News
Pilot Radio speaks with columnist Jamesetta Walker about her cover story "Natural Beauty" - a brief look inside the world of natural hair and the social implications of donning natural hair among women of color. Jamesetta examined the topic from the view of the founder of a hair and fashion expo this weekend in Newport News that promotes natural hair and teaches women how to care for their natural mane. Jamesetta provides commentary on fashion, lifestyle and consumer affairs.
Primal Teams and the Power of Emotion - with Jackie Barretta
in Business
I interview Jackie Barretta, author of the new book from AMACOM, "Primal Teams: Harnessing the Power of Emotions to Fuel Extraordinary Performance."
I ask Jackie:
What has changed in recent years that make team members' emotions so critical to business success today?
How does your work differ from emotional intelligence, which is quite a familiar concept these days?
You write that negative emotions can be productive to a team or business. This seems counter-intuitive. Can you explain this and give an example?
Jackie Barretta specializes in defining the super-energy of elite teams and helping organizations create it in their own teams. She is also a Practice Director at Virtual Information Executives, where she provides technology consulting to higher education institutions.
Jackie has had several articles published in Information Week and CIO magazine. Her work with primal emotions in teams has won her widespread recognition and dozens of prestigious awards, including ComputerWorld's Premier 100 IT Leaders, Information Week's Innovator of the Year, and CIO Magazine's Enterprise Value Award. She has served on the advisory boards of Hewlett Packard, Teradata, and the CIO Executive Council.
She holds a bachelor's degree in computer science from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and a master's degree in organizational communication from Marylhurst University.

Jackie Barrett~Psychic Medium/Author
in Paranormal
For more than 26 years, Jackie Barrett has been a psychic medium and author. Her amazing abilities to both communicate with the dead and guide the living have propelled her into the spotlight. She is known throughout the world as America's foremost occult and paranormal expert. Jackie's remarkable efforts with the Red Cross and the Jackie Barrett Foundation have raised millions of dollars, and her compassion has earned her a great deal of respect, enabling her to help thousands of people from diverse backgrounds. She has clients all over the world, including celebrities in the music and entertainment industries, politicians, socialites, and professional athletes. Jackie is the most sought after for her unique seances where she allows the guest to directly communicate with the contacted spirit, instead of the traditional seance where only the medium will make contact with the spirit. She has been issued a captain's badge from now-retired NYC Police Captain Sean Crowley for her work on cold cases. She works with him and her daughter Joanne, who assists her with both cold cases and private clients. Jackie also continues her work with personal clients around the world.Jackie's latest accomplishment is her just-published book, The Haunting of the Gemini. A riveting account of her journey with the New York City Zodiac Killer. After almost two decades of silence, he chooses to speak only with Jackie, and this book tells -- for the first time -- the true extent of his crimes. The Haunting of the Gemini follows her last book, The Devil I Know, which chronicles her experiences with Amityville murderer Ronnie DeFeo. www.thehousethatkaybuilt.com

So here's the thing....there is nothing great about this book. In fact, it's very mediocre. It's a light, quick read, not particularly well-written, it's sentimental, sappy and the premise is highly improbable. But I LOVE this book. Why? Simply because it made me feel good. After I read it I didn't read anything else for a couple of days because I wanted the feeling to last. I never had that feeling before and I haven't had it since. I don't keep many books, but this one I kept because I want to ...more

Liz Dewhurst was born and raised on a farm in rural Scotland, near the iconic St. Andrew's Golf Course. When her husband publically runs off with another woman, Liz and her son move across the fields and into the farm owned by her father. Unfortunately, the neighboring farms are tied together financially and both are sinking fast. When developers offer to purchase the land for a new golf course development, it has the potential for bailing the family out, but at the expense of losing the land th ...more

Added above the title are the words, "rediscover the power of family, friends, and love...". Robin Pilcher shares his story with rich descriptions of his beloved Scotland and a warmth and thoughtfulness to each character he introduces into the storyline. The characters come alive to the extent that I wish I could go and spend some time with them. I would especially love to have some girl talk with Liz and Annabelle. For someone that loves golf, they might be thrilled to spend some time with Robe ...more

First & a few more pages made me feel that it's just not my type. Then i got the grip and the way Liz dealt with her broken marriage followed by the death of her mother had made me put myself in her shoes & reflect how i would have reacted.To me if someone walks out you just close the door behind them. However, her actions taught me there is a lot more to consider than your impulsive actions. All in all, with the unexpected twist in the end it was worth reading especially for yet-to -be- ...more

This is a lovely book about getting over the bad things that happen to us and learning to know yourself again. Liz Craig is a woman whose husband has left here for another woman. She lives with her 18 year old son and her father on a farm in Scotland. The farming business is a losing proposition and a local group has opted to buy her farm, and her husband's farm, to build a golf course. She is very opposed to this, but has no choice but to sell. Then an unexpected chance of a trip to Spain gives ...more

This is a good story with a lot of imagery. The character that felt the most true to me was the grandfather, Nathaniel Craig. His actions and motivations felt consistent with the life he'd lived. His grandson Alex was also drawn well. The other characters were a little puzzling for me in that they made choices and behaved in ways that were the exact opposite of where they seemed to be headed. The scenery is lush and the good descriptions of the locales allows the reader to be present there. It i ...more

I liked that the book was based in Scotland. Nice lingo. It was a good story. Kind of dragy in places. The main woman was recently separated from her cheating husband. Went off on a vacation with a professor friend and had a brief fling with the professor's son. hm. He farther was a prominent figure in the book also. He also got into the romance scene with a golfer woman who had recently lost her father. Some interesting scenes. I like the laziness. Then again I got bored with it as well.

Shelves: contemporary-women-s
By the son of Rosamunde Pilcher! Quite amazing! And a very good, heartwarming book for a man to have written. I understand better about "showing"--and it's using the action verbs, it seems to me. The author skillfully uses a number of coincidences--people arriving from Australia or in Spain--to create new and lasting relationships and to solve a major problem--the financing of the golf course. Of course, we had no idea Roberta was rich--we thought all along she was frumpy. A very good book.
Jul 14, 2009 Carrie rated it 3 of 5 stars
I want to give this book 3 1/2 stars. I really liked the scenery in this book: Scotland and Spain are both described beautifully, and I feel as if I were there. I like the characters too. The story line, about a family whose farm is being pursued by developers to be turned into a golf course, fell a bit short to me. I felt like the book ended too soon with two many ideas unexplored. However the beautiful writing did a lot to make up for that.
Jan 25, 2011 JayeL rated it 3 of 5 stars
Shelves: 2011
This book was ok. I liked it because it has elements of Rosamunde Pilcher's writing in it. The characters are similar, but the sentences are not as carefully constructed and the descriptions tended to make my mind wander. I liked the story and thought the ending was a good one - not a typical and expected fiction ending.

Cute book, like the characters a lot - downside? Well, the author goes off on tangents with TOO much description and he LOVES big words.
In all honestly, if I want to read a wordy book, I'd go back to the classics. I like my nice romances simple. Is this too much to ask?

Nicely written, made me wish I could be in Scotland a while! The characters are interesting, but I was a bit put off by the suggestion that an extra-marital affair could be good for a failing marriage. What poppycock!!
Still, a good read.

Liz lives near St Andrews in Scotland. An American firm want to build a golf course on her land. Not the normal setting for a novel, but it's a great book of endings and beginnings, lovely characters, and very believable.

Hi southernx,
Thanks for contacting us today. We would be happy to help you find a new upgrade for your system. What is the processor speed of your iMac? Thanks for this information.
Best regards,
Hi nikonitis,
Thank you for contacting us today. Installing the SSD is also fairly straightforward. You can either clone your current data to the SSD or do a fresh install. You will need to find a special bracket to ensure that the SSD fits into your Mac properly.
There is a big advantage to upgrading to an SSD, because you will have no moving parts and you will notice a huge speed increase. The extra speed should future proof your system a bit.
Please let me know if you have any other specific questions about this upgrade.
I recently purchased from Crucial an MX100 512gb SSD for my desktop computer primarily to give me more C-drive space (Asus P7P55D PRO running Windows7 on a 160gb Intel X25-M SSD). Using the Acronis cloning tool I successfully cloned the new SSD, altered registry and BIOS settings to enable AHCI, and installed the SSD. It appears to work perfectly – giving me the extra disk space I need and providing a welcome performance boost. I am delighted.
Encouraged by this relatively painless process, I decided to try to upgrade my ancient laptop – which is a Dell Inspiron 640m, running XP and without AHCI support. It needs more disk space having a mere 50gb but most of all it needs a major performance boost – particularly at boot time when it takes some seven minutes to boot to a usable desktop screen. I purchased an MX100 256gb SSD for this purpose (which Crucial's compatibility tool says should work), cloned my existing HDD to it using Acronis and installed the SSD in the laptop. However, Windows wouldn't load – giving me a blue screen error (0000007b) message which a google search tells me may have something to do with missing drivers. In my subsequent futile and random efforts to try to sort this out I think I have "bricked" the SSD!
I would like to start again with a new 256gb SSD for my ancient laptop which I would again purchase from Crucial but before ordering that would appreciate any advice or suggestions on how to avoid or otherwise deal with the blue screen error. Are additional drivers required and if so how should I obtain and install them? (Please note that I do not wish to upgrade the laptop to Windows7 or 8 - and am aware that I will not have the benefit of TRIM if I can succeed with the installation of an SSD into the laptop.)
Any thoughts or pointers would be hugely welcome.
Regards to all
I bought 2 x MX100 256GB SSD drives.
Both when plugged in fail the SMART 180 attribute on starting the computer.
I have tried them both in 2 different PC's (HP XW4300 and HP Z200), and the error is the same on both computers and on both drives.
I have tried emailing for support with no luck..
Has anyone seen this type of failure before, and do I need to get the drives replaced?
Any assistance or thoughts appreciated.
I had Samsung drives previously and never had any issues at all.
I too am considering this upgrade to SSD. This may seem trivial but try control panel, programs and features, windows features and untick internet explorer then reboot. Upon reboot go and retick the box to reinstall that feature. This has worked for me in the past when ie stopped functioning. Good Luck. Please let us know the results.
