Abstract: In general, techniques are for providing a direct forwarding path between virtual routers within a single virtualized routing system. In one example, a method includes combining forwarding information from a plurality of virtual routers into collapsed forwarding information that comprises one or more direct forwarding paths between the respective virtual routers. The method also includes determining a direct forwarding path to an egress interface of the second virtual router, in response to receiving a network packet at an ingress interface of a first virtual router. The method also includes forwarding the network packet from the ingress interface of the first virtual router to the egress interface of the second virtual router using the direct forwarding path, wherein the network packet traverses a switch fabric directly from the ingress interface of the first virtual router to the egress interface of the second virtual router.

Abstract: A packet-forwarding integrated circuit includes a control logic module and a selector block configured to produce a value indicating an incoming interface associated with a multicast data stream that meets stream health requirements, wherein the multicast data stream is one of a plurality of redundant multicast data streams each received on different incoming interfaces, wherein based on the value produced by the selector block the control logic module outputs data packets of the multicast data stream that meets stream health requirements received on the incoming interface, and discards data packets of other multicast data streams received on other incoming interfaces not indicated by the selector block. In response to detecting that a quality of one of the redundant multicast data streams has fallen below a configured threshold, the control logic automatically rewrites the selector block to forward a different one of the redundant multicast data streams.

Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes a high-level forwarding path description language (FPDL) for describing internal forwarding paths within a network device. The FPDL enables developers to create a template that describes a section of an internal forwarding path within the forwarding plane of a network device. The FPDL provides syntactical elements for specifying the allocation of forwarding path structures as well as enabling the run-time construction of internal forwarding paths to interconnect the forwarding path structures in a manner specific to packet, packet flow, and/or interface properties, for example. In conjunction with late binding techniques, whereby the control plane of the network device provides arguments to template parameters that drive allocation by the packet forwarding engines of forwarding path structures specified by the FPDL, the techniques provide control plane processes a unified interface with which to manage the operation of the packet forwarding engines.

Abstract: Embodiments of the current invention describe methods of forming different types of crystalline silicon based solar cells that can be combinatorially varied and evaluated. Examples of these different types of solar cells include front and back contact silicon based solar cells, all-back contact solar cells and selective emitter solar cells. These methodologies all incorporate the formation of site-isolated regions using a combinatorial processing tool and the use of these site-isolated regions to form the solar cell area. Therefore, multiple solar cells may be rapidly formed on a single crystalline silicon substrate for use in combinatorial methodologies. Any of the individual processes of the methods described may be varied combinatorially to test varied process conditions or materials.
