Abstract: A method for communication includes configuring a router to forward data packets in a network in accordance with MPLS labels appended to the packets. A group of two or more of the interfaces is defined as a multi-path routing group in a forwarding table within the router. A plurality of records are stored in an ILM in the router, corresponding to different, respective label IDs, all pointing to the set of the entries in the forwarding table that belong to the multi-path routing group. Upon receiving in the router an incoming data packet having a label ID corresponding to any given record in the plurality, one of the interfaces in the group is selected, responsively to the given record and to the set of the entries in the forwarding table to which the given record points, for forwarding the incoming data packet without changing the label ID.

Abstract: A communication network includes multiple nodes, which are arranged in groups such that the nodes in each group are interconnected in a bipartite topology and the groups are interconnected in a mesh topology. The nodes are configured to convey traffic between source hosts and respective destination hosts by routing packets among the nodes on paths that do not traverse any intermediate hosts other than the source and destination hosts.

Abstract: An printed circuit board (PCB) assembly and method of assembling the same for a high-speed, short-reach communication link are described that provide a mechanism for transmitting radio frequency (RF) waves from one digital electronic component of the PCB assembly to another, where the second digital electronic component is located either on the same PCB assembly or on a second PCB assembly. The assembly includes a PCB having multiple layers and a digital electronic component supported by the PCB. At least one of the layers defines a channel that confines RF waves therein. An RF antenna in communication with the digital electronic component extends into the channel, and the RF antenna transmits RF signals generated by the digital electronic component into the channel as RF waves or receives RF waves via the channel and conveys corresponding RF signals to the digital electronic component.

Abstract: A method for communication, includes routing unicast data packets among nodes in a network using respective Layer-3 addresses that are uniquely assigned to each of the nodes. Respective Layer-2 unicast addresses are assigned to the nodes in accordance with an algorithmic mapping of the respective Layer-3 addresses. The unicast data packets are forwarded within subnets of the network using the assigned Layer-2 addresses.
