    摘要: The transport protocol for communicating between general purpose processors acting as contact points and network processors in a packet processing environment such as Ethernet is provided. In such an environment, there is at least one single control point processor (CP) and a plurality of network processors (NP), sometimes referred to as blades. A typical system could contain two to sixteen network processors, and each network processor connects to a plurality of devices which communicate with each other over a network transport, such as Ethernet. The CP typically controls the functionality and the functioning of the network processors to function in a way that connects one end user with another, whether or not the end user is on the same network processor or a different network processor. There are three types of communication provided; first, there is communication generally referred to as control services and normally there will be only one pico processor which operates as a GCH (guided cell handler) and only one that operates as a guided tree handler (GTH). A path is provided for the controls to the GCH and the GTH commands, and a separate path is provided for the data frames between the GDH's (general data handler) and the CP.

    摘要: Methods, systems and computer program products are provided which control message storms in a network by classifying multiple destination messages into a plurality of broadcast message classes based upon characteristics of the broadcast messages. The number of multiple destination messages for each class of broadcast messages of the plurality of classes of broadcast messages are then counted so as to provide a plurality of broadcast message class counts. Multiple destination messages of a class of broadcast messages are then selectively transmitted based upon the broadcast message class count for the class of broadcast messages.

    摘要: A method and system for systematically accessing and monitoring operating parameter signals within an IC device. A probe configuration logic selects a subset of signals from among a set of available signals within a physical or logical subdivision of the IC device. Signal access logic selectively provides physical or logical access from the selected subset of signals within the physical or logical subdivision of the IC device to a probe sensor, such that IC device operations may be flexibly and comprehensively monitored. A local mode selector provides remote access to the selected subset of signals at an input/output (I/O) data interface. Data packaging logic in communication with the probe sensor permits port mirroring of the I/O data interface.
