摘要： The present invention relates to transparent access to network attached devices, such as network attached storage devices, Web servers or database servers. In particular, the present invention provides hand-off protocols that are transparent to a network client, with the advantage that physical devices can be added to, replaced on or removed from a network without reconfiguring network clients or applications running applications at levels above the network clients. One aspect the present invention is a method for handing off TCP sessions in a system including a client in communication with a switch and to or more devices. This method includes determining in the first device that a handoff should take place, identifying a second device to take over the session, sending handoff messages to and receiving an acknowledgment from the second device, and reporting the handoff to and receiving an acknowledgment from the switch. The devices applying this method may be disk drives, Web servers, database servers or any other device that benefits from being clustered. A device according to the present invention may comprise: a switch including logic for routing messages among a client and a plurality of devices and logic responsive to an instruction to reprogram its routing messages and to confirm the road reprogramming is complete; a first device including logic to determine when a TCP session should be handed off to another device, logic to instruct a second device to accept a handoff, and logic to instruct a switch to reprogram its routing of messages; wherein the second device is in communication with the switch and includes logic responsive to an instruction to accept a handoff and to confirm acceptance of the handoff. The first and second devices may be disk drives, Web servers, database servers or any other device that benefits from being clustered. Logic may be included to determine when to handoff a TCP session and to identify a second device to receive the handoff, consistent with the method of present invention.

摘要： The present invention relates to transparent access to network attached storage devices, configured to any of several protocols, such as SCSI over IP, NAS or NASD. In particular, the present invention provides for using a switch to transparently aggregate storage devices. The switch appears as a virtual storage device. It responds to requests to initiate file sessions and selects one of a plurality of storage devices to participate in the file session. A file session can be handed off to a different storage device. Both the setup and handoff are transparent to the client and its TCP/IP client. The present invention may be practiced either as a method or device. It may provide a virtual storage device or it may aggregate storage devices already attached to a network.

摘要： A method of determining frame loss between two management points (C, D) in an Ethernet network, in which the said management points each transmit frames to each other and each of the said two management points transmits in regular intervals to the other measurement messages which contain current counts of frames transmitted and received by the respective transmitting management point. At least one of the said two management points responds to a received management message to compute from counts of actual packets transmitted and/or received by a given one of the management points the frame loss at said given management point. At least one of the management points computes the said frame loss only once in a measurement interval which consists of a multiplicity of said regular intervals and employs in the computation the counts indicated by the measurement message most recently received by said one of the management points.

摘要： A method of operating a network device in a communication system for the transmission of data packets which include network addresses identifying sources and destinations of data, the network device being capable of both bridging and routing decisions and including a forwarding database by means of which a packet including network address data can be forwarded to at least one port and thereby to at least one network path identified by a network address, and packets can be forwarded to at least one port in response to a media access control address. The method comprises establishing a data table which contains entries comprising a network address of an end station to which a packet is destined, a respective media access control address and an identification of at least one port to which the packet will be directed within the device. The table is accessed in response to network addresses and media access control addresses, whereby the same table can be used for both routing and bridging decisions.

摘要： Ethernet ‘operation, administration and management’ (OAM) circuits contain monitoring points that exchange ‘management” messages, particularly connectivity fault management messages and performance monitoring messages. This invention is a search process to identify a receiving monitoring point and also a further process to verify, particularly for continuity check messages, a management endpoint. The search processes use information carried in a message, in a hardware efficient method with predictable search times independent of search table size.

摘要： Multicast packets that are received on a port of a network device and forwarded to multiple output ports are stored in memory and respective primary control entries which define them are converted to secondary control entries defining multiple unicast packets before a scheduling algorithm is applied. The packets are reconstituted after the application of the scheduling algorithm has been applied to the control entries. For VPLS packets that are received on a single port and replicated multiple times on one or more output ports, a replication database may be used in conjunction with a replication engine to convert the control entry for a received packet into multiple control entries defining unicast packets for each of the destination ports before the scheduling algorithm is applied. This method is applicable to the replication of packets onto a Virtual Private LAN.

摘要： A method of processing data contained in data packets comprises storing a set of microcode instructions of which some are test instructions prescribing a respective test between a data pattern in a packet and a test pattern; defining by means of bit masks a respective multiplicity of programs each consisting a group of instructions selected from the said set of instructions; providing a particular one of said bit masks; reading out from storage the selected group of instructions in the program defined by said particular one of said bit masks, said selected group including at least one of said test instructions; and executing the instructions in the selected group on data packets. Matches between data patterns in said packets and a test pattern defined by said at least one test instruction may be detected. The invention preferably includes reading buffer data and applying to data packets appearing sequentially in the data a selected group of said instructions which independently test data of the data packets in turn.

摘要： According to an example embodiment, a technique may be provided for managing a label data base of which each entry comprises a data field for insertion into a respective packet in a multicast transmission and a validity field. The technique may include, for example, (a) establishing a fixed size for a cluster of labels, (b) associating with each cluster a pointer to another cluster, (c) establishing a sentinel cluster of which all entries are indicated to be invalid and of which the cluster pointer points to this sentinel cluster, (d) establishing a root table which defines the number of replications of the packet in a multicast group and identifies a first label cluster associated with the multicast group and (e) establishing a chain of clusters of which each cluster which is full of valid entries points to the next cluster in the chain and the last cluster which contains valid entries points to the sentinel cluster.
