We (2 couples) are traveling to Italy towards the end of April. We will be taking the train from Milan to Varenna, onto Bellagio via boat. We are spending 4 nights at Hotel Florence in Bellagio. This leaves us three full days to explore - Villa Carlotta? Varenna? Isola di Comacina for lunch? Como itself?
How would you spend three days on Lake Como? I look forward to hearing from others how they've designed their itineraries to this area.

Igt may be easier and cheaper to take the train Milan to Como-Nord, a station right by the boat docks for boats to Bellagio or you can even go by cheaper directr buses from Como Nord - you will have plenty of lake boating later - especially if coming from Milan Airport you can take a train direct to Como Nord (with one easy change without going into Milan).
Report Abuse
That's a great idea;however, we're takIng the grain from Rome and have already bought tickets through to Varenna. I should have done my research a bit more on that end. Thx.
Report Abuse
Train, not grain
Report Abuse
To answer your question: in a half a heartbeat! And do not get all twisted around because you have decided to take the TRAIN to Varenna-Esino (sit on the left side facing forward for the best lake views which begin at Lecco, BTW).
It is an EASY all-downhill walk from the V-E rail station to the ferry docks (and ticket booth) at the bottom of the hill. The ticket person will tell you which dock to wait at. Some ferries go via Menaggio and some go directly to Bellagio.
Enjoy your time there; we'll be going for several days next year.
Report Abuse
Here is a good start:
I think that Varenna, Villa Carlotta and Villa Balbianello are all time well spent.
Report Abuse
If the weather's nice, consider visiting Castello Vezio while you're in Varenna. The views from the castle ruins above the town are just spectacular. We hiked up the hill, but there are taxis and, I've been told, bus service. The walk down is fairly easy. If you time your visit to the afternoon, you can probably see the falcons and other birds of prey when they are released for their daily exercise. Check the exhibit schedule at "Falconry" on the castle's website:
BTW, walking down the hill from the Varenna train station, as the lake comes into view, is one of my all-time favorite mental images.
If you have time in Bellagio, walk out to La Punta Spartivento (the point that divides the wind) where the upper lake divides into the two "legs." There's a small park at the point and a restaurant open for dinner.
Report Abuse
These are yummy ideas all...
Speaking of yummy, opinions about these restaurants:
Ristorante Bilacus
Trattoria San Giacomo
Report Abuse
Perhaps you saw this in my trip report:
• A day trip to Varenna and the Villa Monastero gardens. Do not miss the surprising San Giorgio church.
• A day trip to Menaggio for lunch
• A day trip to Lenno and the nearby Villa Balbianello. Do not let them tell you the walk is easy—it is :30 and up and down hill. Take the boat.
• A day trip to the city of Como and the local museum---a pleasant day.
• A walk to the Villa Melzi gardens south of Bellagio.
I did manage to swim in the local indoor pool at the hotel and the girls managed to shop every corner of Bellagio—they are good at that. We also ate well in Bellagio. Here are our four favorite places—in rank order:
• Ristorante Bilacus—I had a wonderful veal dish.
• Trattoria San Giacomo—just across from Bilacus and less $$$
• Antico Pozzo—nice selection and reasonable
• Barchetta—this was a real surprise and worth a visit.
Report Abuse
Ristorant Barchetta is our favorite and we've celebrated several special occassions there. It away from the touristy area too.
Bilacus is fine; sit in their outdoor patio if weather is nice. It's at the top of the main "staircase" Don't care for Giacomo.
Alle Darsena is very good, walk through the Villa Melzi Gardens to the little hamlet of Loppia or take a taxi.
And La Punta, at the northern point where Bellagio ends, has beautiful views of the lake and mountains.
For pizza, head to La Grotta.
Report Abuse
We stayed at the Hotel Florence for 3 days in mid-May of 2012 and had a great time. We did a lot of the things mentioned above - they are really good suggestions. You can check out the details of our trip in the trip report I posted. Bellagio was our favorite part of the trip.
Report Abuse
42 days and counting! Great suggestions.
Report Abuse
Villa Serbelloni tour is great, with fantastic views of the mid Lake, Varenna and Menaggio:
With a car, you can drive up to where the Pigra cable car ends overlooking the lake. Then continue on to Balcone d'Italia (great views!) near the Swiss border and from there, continue towards Porlezza and then on to Lugano, if desired.
Report Abuse
Alle Darsena was our stand out meal when we visited Bellagio.
I wish I had HappyTrvlr's walking directions when we went there. We went past a cemetery with bats, through a farmer's field and got chased by a tractor. I recommend going there, but not the way we did.
Report Abuse
A cemetery with bats? Buried? Teasing...I understand What an adventure.
Everyone has contributed greatly to my planning - both in terms of sightseeing and eating.
Has anyone eaten lunch at Isola di Comacina? Recommended yay or nay?
Report Abuse
Bobthenavigator - I perused your trip photos on Slowtrav. Beautiful, enticing, colorful array - you are a great photographer!

Over the hill from town is Pescallo, a pretty hamlet of Bellagio. It's a short walk up & down a series of cobblestone steps & paths. We had nice lunch at La Pergola.
We also enjoyed a visit to the gardens of Villa Melzi. It was fun to imagine what it must have been like to travel & stay there in the early 1800's! How grand it must have been!
There's no end of wonderful things to do! Have a wonderful trip!
Report Abuse
One trip we spent two weeks in Bellagio and never ran out of things to do or see using the ferries. It was the most stress free stay without a car.
Report Abuse
I liked Como itself too - actually enjoyed staying in a real city and a real sweet one - outdoor markets - lots of non-touristed shops and restaurants - the day I went to Bellagio it was mob city - each time a boat came in and ejaculated its mobs of day trippers any inherent romance the tiny town had was lost - I enjoyed it because I love mobbed tourist scenes - taking it all in but I was glad I stayed in Como - at least give Como itself a good look over.
You couldn't pay me to stay in a plastic place like Bellagio but that is of course my own subjective opinion - just not enough there there for my likes - I loved taking boats around Lake Como and walking between some places.

I spent just two days in Varenna, but it was truly stunning. I'm sure that everyone has their preference, but there was nothing better than the sun setting behind the mountains while sipping on a beer with live music playing beside me. Enjoy your trip!
Report Abuse
Varenna also has the advantage of being right on the rail line to Milan - from Bellagio you have to take a boat back to Varenna or a boat or bus to Como to join trains to Milan.
Report Abuse
I would change hotels and stay in Varenna, simply because the views of the lake are so much more grand. You also benefit by having less hassles with luggage.
April can be a rainy month. There's plenty to do and see on the lake, but if it rains, I'd want a fabulous room with a view to entertain me until it passes. A Spring storm on Lake Como can be gorgeous and exciting to watch, but not from Bellagio.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United 10/31/2015 Premier League Preview, Odds and Prediction
Manchester United vs Crystal Palace
Saturday 31st October 2015 10:00(ET)
The Line: Crystal Palace 14/5 Draw 5/2 Manchester United 11/10 See the Latest Odds
TV: BBC Radio; NBC Sports
One of the best match ups of the weekend in the Premier League will see Crystal Palace try to get back to winning ways when they host Manchester United at Selhurst Park. Palace come into this game struggling a little bit for form having lost their last three games in all competitions and being completely outplayed Wednesday against Manchester City. Johan Cabaye continues to light up the league, as is mentioned nearly every week when discussing Crystal Palace and signings of the year. Cabaye's undoubted quality has seen him dictate games for Palace and against a Manchester United team that has struggled to control midfield in away games this could be a really interesting match up as he goes up against Schniederlein and Schweinsteiger. Palace have pace to burn on the wings with Zaha and Bolasie and Campbell and Puncheon have the talent to get at a United rearguard that has been susceptible to the quick break.
With a loss in the League Cup to Championship side Middlebrough, Manchester United will be looking to bounce back on Saturday and move back up the table if possible. Arsenal face a tough game at Swansea as well so United could see this as an opportunity to make up some ground on the Gunners but they will not want to underestimate Crystal Palace as this is a good side they are playing against. Wayne Rooney has struggled for form and many are calling for Anthony Martial to be played through the center with Rooney either dropping deeper or too the bench. Herrerra, Mata and Depay could be deployed as a middle three in front of Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlein if Rooney did go to the bench and many would say that would be United's strongest line up. There is no doubting the impact that Martial has had on the side since coming in from Monaco has been even better than thought and United could have unearthed a gem in the french younster.
Crystal Palace have played very defensive formations against the better teams at home and I think they may employ a similar formation here on Saturday. Manchester United are favourites for the game and given both teams league form I think that is just about justified but I wouldnt be confident in United's ability to close this one out. Palace have been impressive at times this season and I think they will give United a good game. Taking the draw at half time looks a solid bet in my opinion in what should be a tight game.

Books are available at the MillerCoors' Girl in the Moon Store in Milwaukee and the Breweriana Museum in Potosi WI. We're sorry but our inventory is sold out. email@example.com.
Read about perfecting the Miller beer recipe
Read about Fred Miller joining the
University of Notre Dame football coaching staff
Read how Fred Miller brought
Major League Baseball to Milwaukee
Frederick C. Miller experienced first-hand two golden eras of Notre Dame football. He was an All-American player under Coach Knute Rockne and later as an assistant coach with his friend, Frank Leahy.
Miller Brewing Company was propelled from twentieth place in barrels produced to fifth place nationally during Fred's presidency. His style, image and innovation are timeless. He was a master at marketing his product – Miller High Life.
Fred was the first brewer to market sports paired with beer on a grand scale. The sports promotion department with their slogans "Be a Packer Backer" and "Go, Giants, Go!" helped take the company from a regional brewery to a national powerhouse.
To the citizens of Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin, Fred was hailed as a civic hero. The sports-minded president of Miller Brewing Company brought big league sports to his city. When the Green Bay Packers needed financial help, the team came to Fred.
Fred was a rare businessman who carried his faith into the corporate world. He was a devout Catholic who believed in the golden rule "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
The story of Frederick C. Miller is based on research and interviews with family members but also sports stars of the 1940s and 1950s. Personal correspondence and passionate conversations with the stars of this golden era complete this journey. Y.A. Tittle, Johnny Lujack, Paul Hornung, Frank Gifford and Johnny Lattner are just some of the personalities who shared their memories that make this story come alive for the reader.

I haven't had my Nintendo DS for very long, but I've already started growing my collection of games. Some I definitely enjoy more than others, and one of them I have no idea why I bought it because I quickly discovered I don't enjoy the sort of gaming experience that it offers. Anyways, here's me thoughts:
Mario Kart DS - Classic gameplay that is even more addicting on the handheld. I've played a few games using the WiFi connection (and some dude in China really kicked my butt using stupid Bowser), and am slowly working my way through all the little bonus challenges. There's a ton of options here, the music is slight but good, and racing has never been so good. Seriously, a gem, one I'll continue to play for many, many days.
New Super Mario Bros - I think that as the years continue to pass by and next-gen systems become nexter-gen systems that I'll never play that I'll always remain an old-school gamer. Meaning, I like my Mario, Zelda, and Metroid 2D games the best. Something so pleasing about them. Anyways, here we have a 2D/3D sidescroller that is just as much fun as its previous incarnates. You run and jump your way to the end of the level, collecting gold coins along the way, and travel across a map in order to save the princess. The level design is colorful and creative, and as a bonus there's more than two handfuls of mini-games to keep you entertained using the touch screen. My mother's favorite is the one where you have to sort red bombs and black bombs to their alloted containers without messing up. She's actually quite good at it.
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin - Another old-school gamer game that is a lot of fun. Big, huge castle to explore with two different characters. Lots of items and missions to accomplish. Cool graphics, non-important storyline, and awesome boss battles. Though, currently I am lost and don't know where I'm supposed to go next. That's okay. I can walk around and slay baddies for hours. Or at least until my battery needs charging.
Animal Crossing: Wild World - I can't even figure out why I bought this. I think, possibly, maybe, who really knows, that I thought I was buying a Harvest Moon game. You know, the farming simulation thingy. Instead, I got the Sims with all the fun ripped out of it only to be replaced by animals with enormous heads, a town more dry than a patch of sand, and tasks that would bore a dead guy.
Puzzle Quest: Challenge Of The Warlords - My latest addiction. I can't think of a simpler way to describe it other than Bejeweled with fantasy RPG elements. And yes, that's all it takes to hook me. Everything you do is based around a game of Bejeweled: moving around the map, fighting monsters, acquiring steeds, making items, and learning new magic spells. Yet, it never gets tiring (though the music certainly does).
Two games I know I want the minute they are released: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and Contras 4 DS.

Some DS games

I was never very good at the original Mario, so my skills with teh DS version of Mario are very limited. But I do enjoy it, despite the difficulty.
My wife loves the Soduko games on Brain Age and is eagerly awaiting Brain Age 2. We used to play all the other games on there too, but then I stomped her by a good ten "brain years" and she never wanted to play again.
- Paul Abbamondi said...
Hee, I've looked at those Brain Age games. They seem fun, but I'll probably wait for the latest one to come out. I like puzzles. :P

Billboard Bits: Anastasio, Robert Bradley, Tate
News on Trey Anastasio, Robert Bradley, Howard TateTrey Anastasio has joined the bill for the Black Crowes' New Year's Eve show at New York's Madison Square Garden, replacing My Morning Jacket, which has been forced to back out while frontman Jim James recovers from health complications related to pneumonia. MMJ has also postponed a European tour that was to begin Jan. 18 in Birmingham, England.
As previously reported, North Mississippi Allstars will open the show, and will be followed by a 90-minute set from Anastasio and his band. The Crowes will play last.
-- Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
Detroit soul artist Robert Bradley and his band Blackwater Surprise will drop in on the Bluebird in Bloomington, Ind., on New Year's Eve to tape their first full-length live disc. The two-CD set will be released in early 2006 via Los Angeles-based indie label Kufala Records.
The 55-year-old Bradley, who has been blind since birth, is writing songs for his next studio album, a label for which has yet to be confirmed. It will be the follow-up to 2003's "Still Lovin' You," which was released by Vanguard. Bradley also recently portrayed a bluesman in the Emmy-winning film "Lackawanna Blues."
-- Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
Recently rediscovered soul vocalist Howard Tate will unveil the concert set "Howard Tate: Live" Feb. 21 via Shout Factory. The 15-track release was recorded June 26, 2004, at Denmark's Tuno Island Music Festival and features such favorites as "Look at Granny Run Run," "Stop" and "Ain't Nobody Home."
After a run of hits in the late '60s and early '70s, Tate disappeared from the music scene, leading some to believe that he had passed away. But he roared back with the 2003 album "Rediscovered," which was nominated for a best contemporary blues album Grammy.
Here is the track list for "Howard Tate: Live":
"Part-Time Love"
"Look At Granny Run Run"
"Show Me the Man"
"Eight Days on the Road"
"Sweet Sixteen"
"Every Day I Have the Blues"
"Ain't Nobody Home"
"Sorry Wrong Number"
"Mama Was Right"
"Get It While You Can"
"She's a Burglar"
"I Learned It All the Hard Way"
-- Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.

Telonaut: (Teloverse Series): Volume 1
Today's Free Kindle eBook: Telonaut: (Teloverse Series): Volume 1
"Inventive, intelligent sci-fi about humans grappling with an oceanic world." – Kirkus Review "Heartfelt, suspenseful, and imaginative." – IndieReader Humanity has recovered from economic apocalypse, to rebuild a better society, but one still plagued by dissension and selfishness. Sero Novak is biologically teleported to the wetworld of NineDee on a critical mission to discover the mysterious fate of the colonists there. Novak is mentally connected with the rest of humanity by NeuroVision memory technology. Novak explores NineDee, encountering the dangers of the indigenous life forms and environment—and uncovers ever weirder secrets about the colonists themselves, culminating in a terrible revelation that forces him to take desperate action. Bereaved, tormented by grief and driven by the fading shadow of the ideals he once held, he knows that a powerful and expectant government is tracking him from Earth via the global broadcast of his own memories. During his mission, Novak befriends a young colonist in whom he sees similar torment and confusion. Will Novak be able to protect the young girl? Will humanity carry petty desires and desperate wishes across the galaxy? And will Novak be able to act in the best interests of all of humanity when faced with slipping ideals and destructive passions of the people sent to build among the distant stars? Alone, he confronts the wilderness of loss and the physical danger of the wilds the only way he knows how; sheer will.Praise for Telonaut"The three-dimensional characters are well-developed, the entire story — though fiction — is filled with stunning realism.

Land and property records can place an ancestor in a particular location, provide economic information, and reveal family relationships. Land records include deeds, abstracts and indexes, mortgages, leases, grants and land patents.
See Georgia Land and Property for additional information about early Georgia land grants from the government. After land was transferred to private ownership, subsequent transactions (generally buying and selling deeds) were usually recorded at the county courthouse and where records are currently housed.

I am always dismayed when credible and transparent organizations are assaulted with baseless charges by anonymous posters who disagree with the work done by the Pacific Institute. It is my experience that commenters like the one who challenged the Institute on its transparency and leveled defamatory claims, are simply substituting ideology for knowledge. Knowledge, in this particular case, available on the very website he or she disparaged. Critics who defame with no facts or evidence are merely frightened that science will force them to recant long-held beliefs. Changing their minds may not be possible. To concurrent studies had concluded that some people are so ignorant that they don't know they are ignorant.
Pacific Institute's work in the international communities have empowered women and increased access to clean water for several communities in India, etc. Their collaboration with other sustainable non-profits abroad deepens the understanding and knowledge gained from community surveys and they continue to be one of the world's leading green non-profits in the water sector. Kudos to them, keep up the good work PI!

Kathy Najimy's anti-SeaWorld billboard banned by airport bosses
Actress Kathy Najimy's billboard bid to steer visitors to her native San Diego, California away from the city's SeaWorld resort has been grounded by airport officials. The Sister Act star shot a new poster ad for animal rights group PETA urging holiday makers to avoid the tourist attraction in light of last year's (13) Blackfish film, which highlighted the conditions in which killer whales at Seaworlds around the world live.
But San Diego airport officials have banned the billboard, which was supposed to greet visitors to the city.
They were upset by Najimy's message: "Welcome to San Diego! If you love animals like I do, please avoid SeaWorld."
Executives at the airport's advertising vendor, JCDecaux, have refused PETA's paid ad because of its anti-SeaWorld message, and now PETA bosses are suing the airport officials.
Members of the animal rights group are campaigning aggressively against SeaWorld following the release of the Blackfish documentary.
A spokesman tells WENN, "While orcas in the wild travel up to 100 miles per day, SeaWorld traps them in swimming pool-sized tanks in chemically treated water. The orcas at SeaWorld also break their teeth and endure chronic pain from snapping and gnawing at the pool gates as a result of stress and aggression. At least 25 orcas have died in SeaWorld facilities since 1986."
Najimy adds, "When I was growing up in San Diego, we didn't know better and our folks took us to SeaWorld. We were blind to the reality that these gorgeous creatures were being abused and belong in their natural habitat. My vegan daughter Samia's generation is well aware of this and would much rather picket SeaWorld than actually go there.
"If you want a fun day in San Diego, then take your family to Balboa Park and ride the carousel, see a great play at The Old Globe theater, or get naked at Black's Beach and hope you see a regal whale in her natural, compassionate, safe home!"

1. Field of the Invention
This invention is directed to communication networks and in particular to an adaptive rate traffic recovery mechanism for communication networks.
2. Background Art
OSI Layers
OSI (open system interconnect) reference model shown in
The physical layer (L-1) is concerned with transmitting raw data bits over a communication channel, and informing the higher level layers of loss of connectivity. An example of physical layer technology is SONET/SDH, that transports information between two section, line and path terminals. The optical layer, or L-0 is a subdivision of L-1. The D/WDM network operates at the L-0 level, transporting a plurality of channels over a fiber.
The SONET/SDH path sublayer deals with establishing a connection between two path terminating nodes (e.g. ADM's, routers, bridges, PBX's, switches, etc), for transporting services such as DS1 or DS3. The services and the path-specific information (path overhead POH), including path integrity information, are mapped into the format required by the line sub-layer, which is called STS-1 frame. An STS-1 is carried by an optical carrier OC-1.
The SONET line (or SDH multiplex section) sublayer provides synchronization and multiplexing for the path layer between line terminating nodes (e.g. ADMs or terminals). The multiplex frame STS-N comprises a plurality N of interleaved STS-1's and line-specific information (line overhead LOH), including line integrity information. For example, if 48 STS-1's are multiplexed together, the resulting signal is called STS-48, which is carried by an optical carrier OC-48.
Concatenation is a procedure by which a plurality N of STS-1's are kept together within the multiplexed signal, so that the STS-Nc signal is transported, switched and further multiplexed as a whole entity rather than N individual STS-1's. This procedure is used for services that operate at high rates, where an STS-1 granularity involves unwarranted processing. The STS-Nc has one POH for the entire signal. An OC-Nc is the optical equivalent of an STS-Nc.
The data link layer L-2 imposes a frame structure to the data and transmits the frames sequentially based on their address. One function of L-2 is the acknowledgement of messages sent over a link. Examples of L-2 technologies are ATM, LAN (Ethernet), frame relay, etc. Link protocols are designed to deal specifically with the types of impairments of the physical link, and comprise mechanisms to deal with errors, delays encountered in transmitting information, lost information, bandwidth conservation, contention resolution. The detailed mechanisms employed by a link protocol are usually specific to a particular interface standard (e.g. ATM-SONET) and are tailored to the services supported by the interface.
The third layer L-3 is the network layer. L-3 provides the functional and procedural means to set-up and terminate a connection, to route data and to control the data flow across the network. The network layer exchanges frames with the link layer, and provides data units (packets) generated by adding to the frame a header, routing and flow control information. An internet sublayer was created (IP or internet protocol) to accommodate different protocols used by different networks. This sublayer is regarded as being the top part of the network layer. The IP networks may use point-to-point connectivity protocols (PPP), Ethernet as layer-2, and copper as layer-1.
The fourth L-4 has a number of functions, not all of which are necessarily required in any given network. In general, this layer is concerned with assembly/re-assembly of data units, multiplexing/demultiplexing, error correction, etc. Illustrated in
The remaining layers are application oriented, being concerned with providing various service functions to the users, such as session control, and other services.
Network Reliability v. Bandwidth Demand
Network users and providers are looking for reliable networks at acceptable bandwidth (BW) cost. Reliability is the ability of the network to carry the information from source to destination with errors below a certain threshold. In general, each OSI layer provides mechanisms to address this issue.
Protection is a traffic preserving strategy for managing the usage of the working and the dedicated redundant bandwidth in the network. Automatic protection acts quickly enough to ensure that the client's connections remain unaffected by failures. Typically, protection switching times are less than 200 ms. On the other hand, protection implies reserving bandwidth, and therefore transport networks are often 100% overbuilt. Most protection schemes require high speed signalling.
Restoration does not guarantee that the user's connections will remain unaffected, but following restorations, any dropped connection can be reestablished. Restoration typically works by re-applying the routing algorithm. As a result, the restoration times are typically much greater than the protection times. On the other hand, no dedicated protection bandwidth is necessary, so that the network may be over-engineered in capacity by only 60%.
SONET/SDH technology is provided with very effective and fast protection mechanisms. Protection protocols for SONET/SDH networks are designed for various network configurations, such as linear (1+1; 1:1 and 1:N) and ring networks (unidirectional path switched rings UPSR and bidirectional line switched rings BLSR). The protection switching mechanisms also differ according to the sublayer—the line sublayer uses different protocols than the path sublayer. Thus, 1+1, UPSR and 1:1 schemes require 100% redundancy. 1:N, 2F (two-fiber)-BLSR and 4F-BLSR schemes require less than 100% network overbuild.
L-1 is also provided with restoration schemes applicable to mesh networks constructed with broadband digital cross-connect (BCDS).
The only recovery mechanisms yet available for L-0 are protocols adapted from L-1. Thus, L-0 uses 1+1 protection and a variant of the BLSR called optical BLSR (oBLSR). A new protection scheme for this layer is proposed in the patent application Ser. No. 09/288,310 (Allen), for a 'Path Switched Shared Protection', filed Apr. 8, 1999, and assigned to Nortel Networks Corporation.
L-2 is provided with both restoration and protections protocol-specific schemes. Restoration schemes provide error detection only, error detection and forward error correction, or error detection and retransmission. The ATM layer for example has two separate capabilities for recovering from faults, namely PNNI (private network—network interface) restoration and ATM protection. PNNI uses a QoS (quality of service) based routing, enforcing negotiated QoS levels by mediating conflicting requests from competing services and the appropriate prioritization of access requests. Other L-2 technologies may use specific QoS controls.
For IP networks (L-3), setting aside a significant proportion of bandwidth for protection is considered wasteful and not cost effective. The IP network is provided with a number of L-3 protocols that allow restoration in the event of a failure in the network, as shown in
The most commonly used routing protocol within an autonomous system is called the open shortest path first (OSPF) and between autonomous systems is the border gateway protocol (BGP). Under optimal conditions, OSPF restoration can occur in several seconds, but typical convergence times are much greater, i.e. several minutes. Restoration times can be long enough to cause TCP session to be dropped. BGP convergence also frequently requires minutes. There are no service quality guarantees provided in the current routing protocols. Following restoration, congestion problems could be prevalent.
In short, the congestion problems (queuing bottlenecks) at L-3 are currently solved using additional BW. As well, the existing protection protocols applied to SONET/SDH transport data networks (L-1) use redundant BW. While the switching time is quite fast for SONET/SDH, the BW utilization is not efficient. Achieving improved BW efficiency is one of the main challenges for continuing the use of the installed SONET/SDH equipment at L-1.
But increasing the transmission capacity of a network becomes more and more important to network providers, and so becomes the cost of the bandwidth. Wise use of the BW is not any more an option; it increasingly becomes an important issue.
There is a need to provide a communication system which provides a better use of BW, while ensuring an acceptable level of reliability.
It is an object of the invention to provide a traffic recovery mechanism using a L-1 adaptive rate protection scheme. The adaptive rate protection scheme compliments layer-3 restoration mechanisms.
It is another object of the invention to provide a protection scheme that allocates less bandwidth to the traffic during a protection switch than during the normal operating conditions. This scheme will allow the network to roll off more gracefully from the perspective of the applications routed through it.
A new interface is defined between the data equipment and the transport network, where the information transfer rate may be switched between two or more predetermined levels.
According to one aspect of the invention there is provided a method of increasing the BW allocated to working traffic within a transport network connecting two data terminals, comprising, distributing the total BW available for said transport network into a first BW and a second BW, transmitting traffic in a data pipe of said first BW during normal operation of said transport network, and squeezing said data pipe to said second BW whenever a protection switch occurs in said transport network, wherein flow control mechanisms present at said data terminal operate to compensate for the change from said first to said second BW.
According to another aspect of the invention there is provided a method of increasing the BW allocated to working traffic within a transport network connecting two data terminals, comprising, selecting a first and a second route between said end nodes and distributing the total BW available for said transport network between said routes as a first and a second BW, transmitting traffic in a data pipe of said total BW during normal operation of said transport network along said first and said second routes, and squeezing said data pipes to one of said first and second BW, whenever a protection switch occurs in said transport network, wherein flow control mechanisms present at said data terminal operate to compensate for the change from said first to said second BW.
According to a further aspect of the invention there is provided an optical communication network for exchanging traffic between two data terminals connected at a respective end node, and recovering traffic in case of a fault at the physical layer, comprising, an adaptive rate interface at each said end node for changing the transmit and receive rate between a fast rate to a slow rate, a link between said adaptive rate interfaces for accommodating a traffic pipe of a first BW corresponding to said fast rate during normal operation, and a squeezed traffic pipe of a second BW corresponding to said slow rate during a protection switch, and protection switching means for detecting an interruption in said traffic pipe and operating a protection switching means.
According to yet another aspect of the invention there is provided a method of operating an adaptive rate interface connected between a data terminal and an optical communication network comprising, exchanging traffic of a first rate between said data terminal and said network in a normal state of operation, exchanging traffic of a second rate between said data terminal and said network during a squeezed state of operation, and transiting from said squeezed state to said normal state during a recovery state.
A main advantage of this invention is a better use of the available bandwidth, since less BW needs to be allocated for protecting the traffic.
To reduce the effectiveness of a connection is less catastrophic than a complete breaking of a connection in a L-3 network, since L-3 is equipped with flow control mechanisms to optimise the traffic engineering. The cost of providing a bandwidth reduced connection for protection is optimally small. Moreover, bandwidth used in current networks for protection, can be freed for other applications.
Another advantage of the invention for the particular case of SONET/SDH, is that the protection scheme does not require replacing the existing SONET/SDH infrastructures. Furthermore, the protection scheme according to the invention is tailored to the needs and characteristics of an IP network.
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of the preferred embodiments, as illustrated in the appended drawings, where:
The adaptive rate recovery mechanism according to the invention uses a variable BW data pipe between two data terminals. Variable or adaptive rate implies allocating less bandwidth for the traffic during a protection switch than for the traffic during the normal operation.
The term 'pipe' is used herein to define a logical connection between two data terminals. Squeezeable pipes are a new class of data transport service designed to work in conjunction with L-1 protection switching mechanisms. The squeezeable pipes could be implemented at the path or line level, based on the existing SONET path or line switched protection protocols. The L-3 device will not detect that any connection has been broken but may receive pause frames informing it to reduce its transmission rate. In L-2 and L-3, the data network is provided with a number of protocols that allow restoration in the event of a failure in the network, as discussed above. Rate adaptation according to the invention can be implemented at L-2 or L-3.
In short, when the pipe is squeezed-down, the available BW is reduced, but the pipe is not broken. For example, a failure in the OC-48c working link results in the data being carried at an OC-3c rate. A graceful service degradation occurs. The higher layer device will not detect that a connection has been broken, but it may receive pause frames informing it to reduce its transmission rate.
In this specification, SONET also implies SDH, the protection for SDH being governed by similar protection protocols. It is also to be understood that the underlying principle of the invention can be applied to technologies other than SONET, or to other combinations of transport, link, and network services.
The terms 'working' and 'protection' are used for the route during normal working operation conditions, and during a protection switch, following a failure of the working connection, respectively. The terms 'path' and 'line' are used for defining the connections between two PTE (path terminating equipment) or LTE (line terminating equipment) nodes.
The terms 'protected class' refers to path connections which have 100% redundant BW provisioned for protection, i.e. BW is reserved for both working and protection traffic. The term 'unprotected class' refers to path connections that are not protected, so that the traffic is lost in the event of a failure. The term 'selective protection' in the context of SONET line protection switching refers to connections in which individual STS's travelling on a given fiber are protected, while others are not. 'Extra traffic ET' is a lower priority traffic which is transported on the protection fiber between two LTE's, during normal operation of the network. The ET is dropped when a line protection switch occurs.
The term 'route' is used to define the physical connection (fiber spans) between two L2/L3 terminals, the connection passing through a number of intervening nodes. 'Diverse routing' refers to different routes engineered for working and protection traffic.
Option a is implemented by using a router with a variable rate port (interface), to provide the BW adaptation in the event of a pipe squeeze. The interface dynamically adjusts its BW between two or more possible rate options. The squeezeable pipe is extended from the transport network into the router with this option.
The port option b is implemented by using standard SONET ports between the transport network and the router, and by selectively activating and deactivating the ports to provide the BW adjustment. With this option, the squeezeable pipe is again extended into the router. However, while this solution uses standard SONET ports, it may disadvantageously result in proliferation of router ports.
The port option c is implemented by using an Ethernet-to-SONET mapper (EM) as the interface between the transport network and the router. This option is preferred, as it does not imply changes to the existing routers.
The options for the pipe composition is provided in the second row of boxes in
Path Protection for Squeezeable Pipes
Path protection for squeezeable pipes operates similar with path protection in general. For effective path protection against link failures, the protection path must be route diverse, using unprotected connections. The PPSP's can be designed to squeeze on a unidirectional basis, which gives better flexibility than a bidirectional squeeze and switch.
Ring nodes, which comprise in this case path terminating equipment (PTE), 3, 4, 5 and 6 are connected over fiber spans 10, 11, 12 and 13. Each data terminal 1, 2 is connected to a respective transport node 3, 4 over a user-network interface (UNIF) 20, 30. Since path protection for an UPSR is unidirectional, two redundant diverse routes are provided between the transport terminals 3 and 4. In the example of
The transport nodes are provided with SONET path protection switch/bridge capability, with the transmit end (which is node 3 for the traffic from data terminal 1 to data terminal 2) permanently bridged. The traffic travels towards node 4 along both working route 10 and protection route 13-12-11. The receiving node 4 selects the traffic as in the conventional path protection switching.
The difference from a conventional path protection switching protocol is that the protection route 8 has a much smaller BW than the route 7. This is shown in
An example of how pipe composition d and port option a operate follows. At level L-3, variable rate interfaces 20 and 30 are placed at the data terminals 1 and 2, which transfer e.g. IP over SONET. Let's assume that interfaces 20 and 30 are OC-48c/OC-3c. A failure on connection 7 is detected by the switch 25′ and signalled to switch 25. Switch 25 initiates a protection switching operation to redirect the traffic from connection 7 to connection 8, and informs, by signalling data user 1 that switching was performed.
Data user 1 changes the rate from an STS-48 to STS-3, by using only the first STS-3c in the STS-48 interface 20, rather than the entire STS-48. The remaining STS-45 is idle. Preferably, the switch 25 sends the OC-3c in the first position of the STS-48. The switch 25 then informs switch 25′ that protection switching has taken place, and switch 25′, in turn, informs user 2. In response, the data user 2 adjusts its operation to receive an STS-3c from interface 30.
As a result, a failure in the working route 7 is restored inside the 50 ms SONET/SDH switching time, but, since the protection route 8 is slower, the data user 1 will throttle back as the bandwidth performance is reduced. Nonetheless, the L-3 of the network does not lose the connection, but sees reduced performance. This allows flow control mechanisms of the higher layers to gracefully restore and recover.
Another way of performing rate adaptation is to use pipe composition d with port option b, where the data terminals are configured with more than one SONET port. With multiple ports available, rate adjustment can be performed by selective port activation/deactivation. The SONET interfaces with the respective ports could be asymmetric 1+1 protected (with unequal working and protection BW), or 1:1 protected, no extra traffic.
In another embodiment, option c–d, the interfaces 20 and 30 could be Ethernet 1000baseT. The working traffic is transmitted over un-squeezed pipe on route 7 in an STS-48c. For transmission efficiency, there may be two 1000baseT channels in this STS-48c, but for the purposes of this example they are treated in tandem. Switch function 25 is performing a frame mapping into the STS-48c, and switch function 25′ performs the reverse mapping for data user 2.
In event of a failure on route 7, signalling between switches is used as described above for the option a–d. The traffic is redirected on route 8 in an STS-3. However there is no signalling across interfaces 20 and 30 between the EM and the data terminal other than pause frame flow control. This method of mapping is disclosed in the co-pending patent application Ser. No. 09/203,853 (Wiggins et al) filed Dec. 2, 1998 and assigned to Nortel Networks Corporation.
The '853 patent application is directed to a Ethernet to SONET/SDH mapping process, for the case when the Ethernet rate is greater than the SONET/SDH rate. An Ethernet pause frame, which provides a pause of appropriate length, is returned by the mapper to the Ethernet frame source in order to implement flow control to stop the Ethernet frame receive buffer in the mapper from overflowing and losing frames. The pause frame control recovery scheme allows protection switching operations on unmodified data equipment.
Application of this method to the embodiment under consideration provides rate adaptation, and effectively reduces the information transfer rate to the rate available, in this example an STS-3c. The squeezed pipe comprises the first SPE-1 with the POH for the entire container, and also the payload for the STS-1 's #2 and #3. The remaining BW may service other traffic.
To prevent extra layers of protection and for greater BW efficiency, unprotected connections are preferable. If path protection is used on top of line protection, the network over-built is 300%.
An example of option c–d is to use for the working pipe 7 an Ethernet 100baseT, carried in an OC-3c as a virtually concatenated VT1.5. In event of a failure on working pipe 7, the switches 25 and 25′ operate as in the previous embodiment to initiate a protection switch, and the data devices 1 and 2 are accordingly informed. In response to this signalling, the number of virtual containers across interfaces 20 and 30 is squeezed to the squeezed rate serviceable on link 8. This reduces the data rate of the interfaces from 100baseT to 10baseT (from the data perspective), but keeps the transmission interface at OC3. The data user 1 then changes mapping from 100baseT frames into the concatenated containers, to 10baseT into a smaller number of concatenated containers. The receiving equipment likewise changes mapping. The Ethernet mapper 30′ will take corrective measures to compensate for the reduced rate.
It is difficult to associate a packet to a stream at layer two, therefore option b–e (the load sharing at the router) is preferred. NUT (Non-preemptable and unprotected traffic) protection is required for BW efficiency if line protection is also used in the network. No signalling is necessary with this option.
With option b, if route 7 is interrupted, the traffic between the data terminals can take place only along route 8, but the data terminals will squeeze the traffic normal sent over route 7 on route 8. The LTE nodes 19 and 21 on both routes are unaffected, since this is a path switching operation.
With path protection, it is better not to protect signal degrade SD conditions (transmission errors), as the BW lost due to transmission errors is significantly less than the BW lost when using a squeezed pipe. Naturally, the lost BW is relative; it depends on the extent of the signal degrade condition and on the BW reduction of the squeezed pipe. This is different form line protected squeezeable pipes, since line protection must act on SD to protect services other than the squeezeable pipes.
Bidirectional Line Protection for Squeezeable Pipes
Squeezeable pipes can also be used with bidirectional line protection. The line protected squeezeable pipes can be designed to squeeze unidirectionally, but signalling limitations with the SONET POH make unidirectional operation impractical.
As indicated above, 'protected class' refers to connections which have BW reserved for accommodating the traffic in case of a failure of the working connection. The term 'unprotected class' refers to connections that are not protected in the event of failure, and the 'selective protection' allows line protection to be provisioned on a connection basis. As such, the user can specify that no protection be provided for a given connection. This unprotected connection is sometimes referred as NUT (non-preemptable unprotected traffic). BW allocation for these types of connections is shown in
In the case of protected connections, shown in
Line protected squeezable pipes may be provisioned using a mix of currently available services, as shown in
In network C the traffic between any two LTE is bidirectional on each span, with working and protection timeslots allocated to the traffic on both fibers 10 and 13, with the protection BW less than the working BW.
As in the case of PPSP, UNIF's 20 and 30 provide rate adaptation at L-2/L-3. Protection switching on links 10-4 must be signalled to the terminal nodes 3 and 4 since the transmit bandwidth must be equal to the bandwidth at the narrowest part of the end-to-end pipe. However, the unaffected links do not switch the traffic from fiber 10 to fiber 13.
A pipe squeeze can be initiated by any bidirectional line switched spans in the network along the path between the data terminals. With typical SONET connections, POH is not touched at tandem nodes. However, for the squeezeable pipes, a tandem node which has an active line protection switch, must be provided with means for signalling at the path sublayer to inform the PTE nodes of the BW reduction. The signalling can use SONET POH, for example STS Path AIS and STS unequipped, which implies access to the POH at the affected LTE nodes. Tandem nodes not directly involved in any protection switch or required to squeeze the pipe need only passthrough the entire pipe payload intact.
The sequence of events in the scenario shown in
Nodes 19-3 and 19-4 signal to the PTE nodes 3 and 4 that a squeezing operation occurred, by inserting the STS path AIS into the squeezed out STSs, namely into the higher numbered STS's which are no longer filed with data.
On receipt of the STS Path AIS patterns corresponding to an actively squeezed pipe, PTE nodes 3 and 4 switch to the squeezed mode of operation in both receive and transmit directions. STS unequipped is sent in the unused STS's of the squeezed pipe.
For recovery, node 19-4 detects the line recovery. Following a wait-to-restore (WTR) period, bidirectional line switching drops on the link between node 19-3 and 19-4. The pipe is immediately expanded in both directions between nodes 19-3 and 19-4. Nodes 19-3 and 19-4 are now tandem nodes, hence they merely pass through the squeezeable pipe payload intact.
A PTE node detects recovery of a squeezeable pipe when the STS path AIS is no longer being received on the formerly squeezed out STS's. A PTE node detects recovery from a squeezed state when the higher order STS-1 of a squeezeable pipe connection no longer contains STS-path AIS. Typically, following a recovery, it will be STS-unequipped which will be received from the far end.
On receipt of STS unequipped pattern corresponding to a recovered pipe, PTE node 4 switches to the normal mode of operation in the transmit direction. Payload is placed into all provisioned STS's. When all STS's associated with a given squeezeable pipe have no path condition, the receive direction also reverts to full BW operation.
Option f may use one of options a, b or c for the variable rate interfaces 20, 30. the operation of these interfaces was detailed in connection with path switched squeezeable pipes.
Transition from the normal state 100 to squeezed state 110 is triggered by the STS path AIS received from a LTE node involved in a line protection switching operation, as shown by 101.
If an STS 'unequipped' code is received in the extended STS path while node 4 is in the squeezed state 110, shown at 111, the PTE node 4 will transition to the recovery state 120, and will begin transmitting at full BW. The pipe reverts to full BW operation in the receive direction when there are no path conditions on all of the received STS's associated with the given pipe, as shown at 121.
A PTE node transitions from the recovery state 120 back to a squeezed state if it receives STS path AIS on the squeezed out STS's, shown by line 112. Finally, transitions from squeezed state 110 to the normal state 100 take place when the STS path AIS recovers, line 102.
Option g for LPSP provides for a protected and ET pipe composition using load sharing. In this case, the network must have provision for an extra traffic (ET) path, since this scheme uses working and ET bandwidth for an 100% utilization. Since this is a line protection scheme, signalling is necessary.

Garnet Double layer Linen Silk Ring Sling
What do you get when you put fine handwoven Chanderi Ikat silk together with sturdy linen chambray? Introducing Garnet - our double layer sling with handwoven Chanderi Ikat silk and gold brocade on one side complemented by sapphire linen interwoven with black for that classic chambray look. This sling is elegant, dressy, lightweight, cushy, breathable and perfect for newborns as well as toddlers.
Garnet is so special because it combines two unique artisan methods by using the Ikat dyeing process with the Chanderi weaving processing to make this fabric complex and exquisite!
*Chanderi is a traditional Indian fabric handwoven in India, characterized by its lightweight, sheer texture and fine luxurious feel. Chanderi fabrics made by weaving in silk and golden threads in the traditional cotton yarn that results in the creation of the shimmering texture.
**Ikat is a dyeing technique used to pattern textiles that employs resist dyeing on the yarns prior to dyeing and weaving the fabric. In ikat the resist is formed by binding individual yarns or bundles of yarns with a tight wrapping applied in the desired pattern. The yarns are then dyed and woven into patterns.
Chanderi Silk - Shades of black and beige with gold brocade
Linen - Deep red/ Garnetinterwoven with black linen threads
Rings - Gold
Generously sized at 27 inches wide, 80 inches long excluding rings. Your sling might be slightly longer when shipped to accommodate any shrinkage after wash. Tip: Our long sling tails make beautiful breathable nursing covers or nap blankets.
Shoulder Style:
Gathered Shoulder
Recommended use:
Birth to 33 pounds (15 Kilos)
Be Gentle. Your one of a kind handmade sling requires a little love.
Even though your sling can be machine washed we recommend that you spot clean as necessary and hand wash only when required to keep the embroidery from being damaged. Linens are naturally anti-bacterial and anti-fungal so a quick dip in mild soapy water should get it nice and clean. If you do choose to machine wash, please use the shortest cycle to keep the embroidery from staying in the water too long.
Tip: Iron when damp to help break in and soften your sling if it feels crunchy after a wash
- Hand wash separately in cold water
- Use few drops of free and clear or any mild soap
- Fabric softener in rinse okay
- Line dry or tumble dry on low
- Steam iron on the reverse side
- Do not iron directly on decoration
- Do not bleach
To make it convenient to shop, we offer quick shipping on all our products. All orders will be processed the same day and will be shipped out by the next business day.

Today is Big B's Birth Day. He is 69 today but I am on cloud 9. He is a real inspiration to many for his aura and energy. He still rules the Bollywood. Those who were before him have left the scene and those who have come after him have also left the scene. But he is still active and awesome. This number 69 is really a very mystical and mysterious number. This is a unique number. This number indicates the sex appeal of an individual. He is 69 but is still sexy. This is a very spiritual number because even if you turn it in any direction it represents the same number. In the entire 360 degree rotation it gives us the same number. It is exactly like the Yin and Yang symbol of Taoism. It is like the Shiva and Shakti symbol of ancient India. It is an indication of being stable and composed. I think at this stage he is at his optimum living. And this I call a quantum living. Many many happy returns of the day Sexy Sam. Long live Big B. Budha Hoga Tera Baap. The whole world loves you Big B :)

I only met Joan Rvers once, many years ago backstage after one of her performances. We had a nice chat about politics, which she was careful to note was never more than a bit player in her routines. "Why alienate half the potential ticket-buyers with political stuff that is usually more sad than funny?" was her pithy explanation.
But no mistake about it: Joan Rivers gave no quarter to liberals or political correctness. "I am for anyone that will give me lower taxes [and] stop all the stupid spending," she explained in a 2009 interview. When asked if the other views of the candidate mattered, she simply responded "Who cares?"
Of course, she did care. In a recent year she made $6,750 in contributions. A measly $500 went to a single Democrat, $3,000 went to Republicans and $3,250 went to a pro-Israel political-action committee. Just weeks before her death she gave a passionate defense of Israel's actions in the face of Hamas rocket bombing.
Rivers had a knack for summing up her philosophy: "I think if I work very hard, I should be able to gather the fruits of my labor. And I think if you're not about to work, you should get minimal and leave me alone."
When it came to comic one-liners and zingers Joan Rivers didn't leave us alone for a full half-century and more of performing. We are all the better for having her bite, even if it sometimes turned into bile. All of it was funny because we knew she was being her outrageous self.
