    摘要: A method and apparatus for providing data communication between a source station having multiple connections to a first switch and a destination station having multiple connections to a second switch. A trunk identifier to each port on the first switch and each port on the second switch. A data frame is encoded with the trunk identifier for an ingress port on the first switch. The data frame is sent to the second switch from the first switch. A list of egress ports for the destination station is obtained from a station list contained in the second switch. An egress port is selected from the list of egress ports based upon the source address, destination address and trunk identifier. The data frame is sent to the destination station through the selected egress port.

    摘要: A method and an apparatus for adjusting an interpacket gap. In one embodiment, a plurality of network devices are tightly coupled together in series. Data is transmitted and received by the network devices in packets with interpacket gaps interposed between each packet. Buffers are included in each network device to serve as elasticity buffers for the data being transmitted between the network devices. The first upstream network device transmits interpacket gaps having an increased size. Downstream network devices may shrink increased size interpacket gaps to reduced size interpacket gaps if the internal buffers are filled to or above a high water mark. However, downstream network devices are not allowed to shrink the size of reduced size interpacket gaps that are received, even if their internal buffers are filled to or above the high water mark.

    摘要: A universal network interface controller (UNIC) is provided for interfacing a host computer to a switch fabric, a packet network, or both. The UNIC includes ingress transmit logic designed to transmit switch fabric data in memory associated with the host computer to a switch fabric. The UNIC further includes egress receive logic designed to receive switch fabric data from the switch fabric to store the received switch fabric data in the host memory associated with the host computer. As an option, the ingress transmit logic may be further designed to transmit packet network data in memory associated with the host computer to a packet network, such as Ethernet, and the egress receive logic may be further designed to receive the packet network data from the packet network and to store the received switch fabric data and the received packet network data in the host memory associated with the host computer.

    摘要: A hybrid network controller may determine and/or communicate traffic management information for enabling setup and/or handoff of call and/or communication session among femtocells, access points and/or end-point devices. Traffic management information may comprise set-up instructions, handoff instructions, transmit power, neighbor list information, signal quality thresholds, frequency assignments, transmission time, code assignments and/or antenna pattern assignments. The hybrid network controller and/or an end-point device may control handoffs between a communication device external to the communication system and the femtocells, access points and/or end-point devices. Received signal strength, interference levels, SNR, signal path delay, power consumption, traffic loads, bandwidth usage and/or radio resource availability may be monitored and/or analyzed by the hybrid network controller. The hybrid network controller may assign time slots, codes, antenna patterns as well as a serving femtocell and/or AP for a set up and/or a handoff. The information may be communicated via wired, optical and/or wireless interfaces.
