Abstract: A high performance data link interface includes receive and transmit data framing paths. The data link interface interlocks certain communication link control signals, such as the CCITT standard data set signals, with data being received or transmitted through the interface to correlate a transmission error directly to a particular data transmission for rapid and efficient error recovery.

Abstract: A packet of data is received from a LAN and transmitted over a WAN, by retaining the native LAN frame format of the packet during transmission across the WAN. Thus, LAN data may be transmitted over a SONET point-to-point link within a WAN network without the interim steps of creating ATM cells or other WAN transport packaging protocols. Instead, the LAN data may be transmitted directly over the SONET link as raw data, and reconstructed directly at the receiving end of the SONET link. A first buffer stores data from the LAN so that a corresponding packet size may be determined, and a second buffer stores data from the WAN to account for any speed difference between the LAN circuitry and WAN circuitry.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring data sent between a source node and destination node in a switched network, wherein the switches configure themselves to establish a connection path to a probe switch to receive the monitored data. The source and destination are identified along with the probe switch. An originating switch on a path between the source and destination is identified and connections between the originating switch and the probe switch are established. The originating switch sends out a first message and when the probe switch receives the first message, it returns a second message to the originating switch. Each switch between the originating switch and the probe switch that receives the first and second messages configures itself to establish the connection path.

Abstract: A switch apparatus (10) for optimizing the transfer of data packets between a plurality of local area networks (LANs (12, 14, 16)). Apparatus of the present invention are comprised of multiple controllers (23), e.g., a receive controller (24), and a transmit controller (25), which share common resources including a first memory (a packet memory (20)) which stores the data packets, a second memory (a descriptor memory (22)) which stores pointers to the stored data packets, and buffered data paths (preferably using FIFO buffers (178, 108)). The independent controllers (25, 24) operate essentially concurrently for most tasks while interleaving their use of the shared resources (20, 22). Consequently, embodiments of the present invention can simultaneously receive and transmit data across multiple LAN data ports (18a, 18b, 18N) (e.g., 28 Ethernet ports comprised of 10/100 and/or 10 Mbps ports).

Abstract: Buffer element for communication network, including a first buffer memory to store communication units corresponding to a first quality of service (QOS) level, and a second buffer memory to store communication units corresponding to a second quality of service level. A buffer manager selectively stores communication units from the first and second buffers based on the corresponding quality of service level, and retrieves communication units from the first and second buffer memories. The buffer manager includes a sorter unit for selectively storing based on the quality of service level. The buffer element may further include a depth adjuster to adjust the depth of the first and second buffer memory.

Abstract: Control of network surveillance in communications networks is accomplished by dividing the surveillance task into two sub-tasks. The first sub-task automatically identifies communications within the network which are to be monitored. Such identification is accomplished by the application of a reasoning system to data received from the network. The identification of the data to be monitored is received by the second sub-task along with network topology information. The second sub-task also applies a reasoning system to this data in order to configure probes and switches within the network so that the identified data can be captured.
