Abstract:
Presented herein are optical module cage designs and heatsink configurations for improved air cooling of pluggable optical modules disposed within the optical module cages. The designs and configurations presented herein facilitate efficient air cooling of higher power pluggable optical modules by enhancing airflow through the optical module cages, increasing contact between the optical modules and the heatsinks, and/or increasing the heatsink dissipation surface area.

Abstract:
In one embodiment, a computing device receives an image that has been signed with a first key, wherein the image includes a first computational value associated with it. A second computational value associated with the image is determined and the image is signed with a second key to produce a signed image that includes both the first and second computational values. Prior to loading the dual-signed image, the computing device attempts to authenticate the dual-signed image using both the first and second computational values, and, if successful, loads and installs the dual-signed image.
Abstract:
An accurate non-Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (non-DOCSIS) clock signal is generated at the downstream output of a DOCSIS network. In one example method, a downstream DOCSIS Timing Protocol (DTP) client in the DOCSIS network is frequency synchronized to an upstream DTP server in the DOCSIS network. DOCSIS timing information, along with one or more timing correction factors received at the DTP client, is used to time synchronize the DTP client to the DTP server. Based on the time and frequency synchronization between the DTP server and the DTP client, the clock signal is generated at the output of the DTP client in accordance with the non-DOCSIS timing protocol.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided to append packet handling information “in the clear” ahead of security related information in a packet to be routed over a network to optimize wide area network deployments of security-configured equipment. In one form, at a network device that performs connectionless secure communication and network routing of packets, data is received from a source device to be sent through a network to a destination device. Packet handling information is inserted in a packet that is to be used to transport the data. The packet handling information is configured to enable controlled handling of the packet in the network and is inserted in an unprotected portion of the packet. Encrypted payload data is generated from the data received from the source device. The encrypted payload data and security information are inserted in a protected portion of the packet and the packet is sent to the network.
Abstract:
A network communications device includes a chassis, a plurality of modules removably inserted into a plurality of slots in the chassis. A coolant is delivered to a first group of the plurality of modules with a first flow control valve in a first cooling loop and the coolant is delivered to a second group of the plurality of modules with a second flow control valve in a second cooling loop. The network communication device further includes a plurality of sensors for monitoring a temperature in the first cooling loop and the second cooling loop and a control system for controlling delivery of the coolant to the first group and the second group, where the control system controls transmitting a signal to one of the first flow control valve and the second flow control valve to modify a flow of the coolant.
Abstract:
Techniques for temperature control for multiple dies in an element. A temperature of a first die is measured, in an element comprising the first die and a second die. The second die includes at least a portion of a controller. The temperature of the first die is changed by adjusting activity, from the second die to the first die, based on a target temperature for the first die and the measured temperature for the first die.
