    摘要: Method and system for controlling the state of a system bus during live insertion and removal of a pluggable feature card (FC) by driving control signals, which are transferred over the system bus, to an active signal level, or by driving down level active control signals to a low signal level near ground level. By this mechanism, the system bus becomes immune to signal disturbances and thereby allows pluggable units to be live inserted and removed without causing adverse effects to the system such as a system reset or compromise of data integrity. During live insertion or removal, a Live Insertion Bus Controller (LIBC) acquires access to the system bus through its interface with a System Bus Controller (SBC), after it has been signalled by a live insertion mechanism associated with the FC that the FC is in the process of being live inserted or removed. After system bus access has been acquired by the LIBC and the LIBC has taken over the control of the system bus, it drives a subset of the system bus set of control signals to a state that is immune from insertion/removal signal disturbance. In parallel, the LIBC effects suspension of running timeout and watchdog operations currently being performed by the SBC. When the LIBC is informed that the insertion process has been completed, the SBC again acquires control of the system bus. The same procedural steps are performed in case of removal of an FC.

    摘要: A LAN switching system includes an Address Match Control line which can be set (activated) and is monitored by each port adapter card. If a port adapter card recognizes an address on the switch fabric, the adapter card copies the frame with the address and activates the Address match Control line. The set Address Match Control line causes the remaining port adapter cards to stop searching for a match. If the Address Match Control line is not set, the frame can be copied by all port adapters which are configured to do so.

    摘要: A method for decompressing multiple data streams includes receiving a packet of data of a compressed data stream, directing the received packet to a selected one of a plurality of decompression functional units within a hardware-based decompression accelerator unit, obtaining decompression state information pertaining to the compressed data stream, and decompressing the received packet using the obtained decompression state information.
