摘要： Method and apparatus for segmenting variable length frames into fixed length cells in a network equipment. The method allows preparing information to build the cells resulting in the segmenting of a succession of frames directed to the same destination in said network equipment. The cell may be packed with more than one frame. The cell information comprises the address where to read the frame data in a first storage unit, the cell header itself which indicates if the cell includes data from one packet or for more packets, a pointer per each of said more packets, designating the place of the end of data of the previous packet in the cell and a cell type field indicating one of the following types: a start of a new frame type, a continuation of frame type, a end of current frame type and a start and a end of a new frame type. The segmenting apparatus comprises a finite state machine using an Add/substract unit to compute the cell information and write said cell information in a second storage unit.

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.

摘要： An apparatus for use in token ring switches for selectively setting the A/C bits in token ring frames. The apparatus includes a database with addresses of stations on the ring connected to the port. The apparatus compares the destination addresses of frames received from the ring with the addresses in the database and sets the A/C bits only if a match does not occur. By setting the A/C bits selectively, by the port, errors that would otherwise occur, either by setting the A/C bits on all frames or not setting the bits on all frames, are obviated.

摘要： A technique for triggering a system bus write command with user code includes identifying a specific store-type instruction in a user instruction sequence. The specific store-type instruction is converted into a specific request-type command, which is configured to include core permission controls (that are stored in core configuration registers of a processor core by a trusted kernel) and user created data (stored in a cache memory). Slave devices are configured through register space (that is only accessible by the trusted kernel) with respective slave permission controls. The specific request-type command is then transmitted from the cache memory, via a system bus. In this case, the slave devices that receive the specific request-type command process the specific request-type command when the core permission controls are the same as the respective slave permission controls. The trusted kernel may be included in a hypervisor or an operating system.

摘要： A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for implementing a pointer and stake model for frame alteration code in a network processor. A current pointer and a stake are provided for a packet selected for transmit. The current pointer is maintained for tracking a current position for frame alteration operations in the packet. The stake is maintained for tracking a start of a current header for frame alteration operations in the packet. The current pointer is used by frame alteration code instructions to specify a sequence of operations relative to the current pointer. The specified frame alteration sequence is compact in terms of code size to operate on data within a small window of bytes. Advance pointer instructions allow the current and stake pointers to be advanced an arbitrary number of bytes into the packet.

摘要： Novel data structures, methods and apparatus for finding the longest prefix match search when searching tables with variable length patterns or prefixes. To find the exact match or the best matching prefix, patterns have to be compared a bit at a time until the exact or first match is found. This requires “n” number of comparisons or memory accesses to identify the closest matching pattern. The trees are built in such a way that the matching result is guaranteed to be a best match, whether it is an exact match or a longest prefix match. Using the trail of all the birds and associated prefix lengths enables determination of the correct prefix result from the trail. By construction, the search tree provides the best matching prefix at or after the first compare during walking of the trail or tree.
