摘要： A method, system and computer program product for routing packets. A network device, e.g., router, may comprise a switch fabric coupled to a plurality of blades where each blade may comprise one or more network processors coupled to one or more physical ports. The physical ports may be connected to another one or more network devices. A plurality of physical ports across one or more blades connected to the same network device may be logically mapped into a logical interface to that network device. By logically grouping a plurality of physical ports into a logical interface to a network device, a network processor may be able to transmit packets of data to that network device across multiple ports instead of one physical port.

摘要： Address management methods and apparatus are provided for a node serving as peer group leader for a peer group of nodes in one level of the hierarchy of a PNNI hierarchical network, whereby the peer group leader represents the peer group to one or more neighboring nodes in the next level up of the hierarchy. The peer group leader has a memory (2) for storing peer group topology data (4), comprising address data which is supplied to the peer group leader from nodes in the peer group and represents addresses for access by the network, and peer group leader topology data (5), comprising address data which is supplied to said neighboring nodes by the peer group leader and represents addresses accessible via the peer group. The address management method comprises: checking whether addresses represented by said address data are accessible via the peer group; notifying said neighboring nodes of changes in the accessibility of addresses so identified; and updating said peer group leader topology data (5) in accordance with said changes.

摘要： The present invention relates to a system and method for dynamically adjusting the bandwidth of a continuous bit rate virtual path connection established between a source node and a destination node within a packet or cell switching network comprising a plurality of nodes interconnected with transmission links. In the network, a bandwidth management server having access to information concerning network nodes and transmission links is defined. This server is informed each time a virtual path connection or a virtual channel connection is established on the network with an indication concerning the initial bandwidth reserved for said connection. The server detects and shares, on a continuous or periodical mode, the bandwidth which is available on transmission links among the bandwidth adjustable continuous bit rate virtual path connections and determines for each connection a new bandwidth. The source node is informed each time a new bandwidth is computed. It adjusts the bandwidth of the corresponding bandwidth adjustable continuous bit rate virtual path connection accordingly.

摘要： The invention includes a switch having N ports (N > 1), each port being connected to a Token-Ring physical segment, an additional port connected to an on-board processor, and a high-throughput port connected to a network of higher bandwidth than the Token Ring. The invention allows to route frames received at any one port to any or several ports, to begin the routing of the frames before they have been completely received at the input port, and to directly forward frames from input to output of the high badwidth port.

摘要： A checkpointing mechanism implemented in a data processing system comprising a dual processor configuration gives the system a fault tolerance capability while minimizing the complexity of both the software and the hardware.
The active and backup processors are coupled asynchronously with some hardware assist functions comprising a memory change detector which captures the memory changes in the memory of the active processor and a mirroring control circuit which causes the memory changes when committed by establish recovery point signals generated by the active processor to be dumped into the memory of the back up processor so that the backup processor can resume the operations of the active processor from the last established recovery point.
The active and backup processors may each be connected to a dedicated memory and recovery point storing means, or to a memory including two dual sides shared by all the processors for storing data structures and recovery points.
