    Abstract: Architectures, apparatus and systems employing scalable multi-layer 2D-mesh routers. A 2D router mesh comprises bi-direction pairs of linked paths coupled between pairs of IO interfaces and configured in a plurality of rows and columns forming a 2D mesh. Router nodes are located at the intersections of the rows and columns, and are configured to forward data units between IO inputs and outputs coupled to the mesh at its edges through use of shortest path routes defined by agents at the IO interfaces. Multiple instances of the 2D meshes may be employed to support bandwidth scaling of the router architecture. One implementation of a multi-layer 2D mesh is built using a standard tile that is tessellated to form a 2D array of standard tiles, with each 2D mesh layer offset and overlaid relative to the other 2D mesh layers. IO interfaces are then coupled to the multi-layer 2D mesh via muxes/demuxes and/or crossbar interconnects.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a cell processing method and apparatus. The method includes: obtaining, by a first sending end, a first timestamp compensation time; adding, by the first sending end, the first timestamp compensation time to a first timestamp carried in a first cell, where the first timestamp is a sending time of the first cell; and sending, by the first sending end to a receiving end, the first cell that is added with the first timestamp compensation time, so that the receiving end forwards the first cell according to the first timestamp that is added with the first timestamp compensation time. In the embodiments of the present invention, a first timestamp compensation time is added to a first timestamp carried in a first cell, to prevent a second cell, which is sent by a second sending end, from waiting at the receiving end for a cell that is sent by a first sending end at a time the same as a sending time of the second cell, where the cell reaches the receiving end after a longer delay time than a delay time after which the second cell reaches the receiving end, which improves cell forwarding efficiency of the receiving end and prevents the occurrence of cell accumulation in a link.

    Abstract: A system for providing access to the internet, comprises a network of routers (R) hereinafter designated “new routers”) wherein each new router (R) has a CPU (112) that has, or is associated with, a public area (142) that allows simultaneous access to the new router's CPU by more than one user account. The system is so arranged that a pre-registered user with a user account identified by an identifier, typically a user name and/or password, can access the internet from any new router (R) in the network by connecting to the public area (142) of the new router's CPU (112) and entering the account identifier of the pre-registered user account.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses a switching apparatus, a switching apparatus group, a data transmission method, and a computer system, and pertains to the field of computer technologies. The switching apparatus includes: a selection circuit module, a SERDES module, and a scheduling module. The selection circuit module establishes at least (n-1) static links with each of n modes, and any two static links that are connected to the selection circuit module and that belong to different nodes are connected to each other. The SERDES module is disposed on a static link connected to the selection circuit module. The scheduling module establishes connections to the selection circuit module and each of the n nodes. The selection circuit module further establishes at least one dynamic link with each of the n nodes. According to the present invention, multiple nodes are connected together by using a selection circuit module, so that data does not need to be converted into a packet that includes routing information during transmission, a related-technology problem that a data transmission delay is relatively large is resolved, and a data transmission delay is shortened.
