A method implemented in a network element to determine an autonomous system (AS) path pre-pending (ASPP) vector for an AS of the network element that accounts for AS business relationship induced policies and global impact of ASPP decisions by using comparable paths between AS in a network for application of network management strategies, the comparable paths grouped by path types defined by local preference polices, the method including gathering AS level topological data for the network, categorizing AS link relationships in the topological data, computing the comparable paths for each AS pair, and applying any one of a load balancing process, back-up path provisioning process or traversal avoidance process to the comparable paths to determine an ASPP vector for the AS of the network element.

摘要:
A method is implemented in a network element that functions as one of a plurality of controllers for one of a plurality of areas of a split architecture network. The controller provides a control plane for the area of the split architecture network where the controller is remote from a plurality of switches providing a data plane for the area of split architecture network. The controller facilitates optimized routing across the plurality of areas of the split architecture network by providing limited intra-area link cost data to other controllers of other areas of the split architecture network and to traditional routers of a network including the split architecture network. The limited intra-area link cost data provides costs of each possible shortest path traversal of the area of the controller without providing all internal link cost data.

A method and apparatus for optimizing the resilience of a network using a combination of in-band and out-of-band signaling is disclosed. The metric used in the embodiment's algorithm to determine resilience is the maximum number of protected neighbors. Nodes closer to the controller are assigned a higher weight than those further from the controller because if their connection to the network is interrupted, all their downstream nodes will be affected and disconnected. Therefore, when determining a path to the controller, switches with alternate paths to the controller are preferred. Dedicated connections using out-of-band signaling are assigned to convert unprotected nodes to protected nodes thus improving the resilience of the network.

A semiconductor device is formed by first providing a dual gate semiconductor device structure having FET pair precursors, which includes an nFET precursor and a pFET precursor, wherein each of the nFET precursor and the pFET precursor includes a dummy gate structure. At least one protective layer is deposited across the FET pair precursors, leaving the dummy gate structures exposed. The dummy gate structure is removed from one of the nFET precursor and the pFET precursor to create therein one of an nFET gate hole and a pFET gate hole, respectively. A fill is deposited into the formed one of the nFET gate hole and the pFET gate.

A device and method for improving performance of a transistor includes gate structures formed on a substrate having a spacing therebetween. The gate structures are formed in an operative relationship with active areas formed in the substrate. A stress liner is formed on the gate structures. An angled ion implantation is applied to the stress liner such that ions are directed at vertical surfaces of the stress liner wherein portions of the stress liner in contact with the active areas are shielded from the ions due to a shadowing effect provided by a height and spacing between adjacent structures.

In one embodiment, a method of providing a nanowire semiconductor device is provided, in which the gate structure to the nanowire semiconductor device has a trapezoid shape. The method may include forming a trapezoid gate structure surrounding at least a portion of a circumference of a nanowire. The first portion of the trapezoid gate structure that is in direct contact with an upper surface of the nanowire has a first width and a second portion of the trapezoid gate structure that is in direct contact with a lower surface of the nanowire has a second width. The second width of the trapezoid gate structure is greater than the first width of the trapezoid gate structure. The exposed portions of the nanowire that are adjacent to the portion of the nanowire that the trapezoid gate structure is surrounding are then doped to provide source and drain regions.
