    摘要: A delay measurement technique according to an embodiment according to the present invention is based on the precept, ascertained by the inventors, that a link between network nodes will often contribute to the delay encountered between several different pairs of network nodes. Such a technique identifies the path between each pair of nodes by a list of links that form the path. Paths that are orthogonal are treated as being necessary for describing the delays encountered between nodes, and, once the requisite set of orthogonal paths has been derived, all other paths can be described in terms of one or more of these orthogonal paths. Such a technique also lends itself to matrix representation of the paths, and the use of matrix manipulation techniques in deriving delay and jitter.

    摘要: A system in which a single VLAN architecture spans multiple VLAN transport protocols and technologies, including a method and system in which multiple different VLANs may be combined in a single enterprise network. Each LAN-switch in the system identifies each frame with an identifier, and associates that identifier with particular VLAN identifiers for each type of VLAN technology. When a frame is bridged or routed from a first type of VLAN to a second type of VLAN, the first VLAN encapsulation is removed and the second VLAN encapsulation is added, with appropriate change in the VLAN identifier for the frame or packet. The identifier may also be implicit for the frame, such as when a particular set of sender's MAC addresses are identified with a particular VLAN. Individual VLANs, of whatever architecture, may be added, configured or reconfigured, modified, or deleted, using control tools associated with the multiple VLAN architecture system. Individual ports may be associated with particular VLANS, or may be designated “dynamic” so that frames or packets associated with those ports are associated with particular VLANs in response to source or destination addresses or other information.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed for managing network devices using a parsable string that conforms to a specified grammar. The parsable string is used to represent locations of entities and is called an entity location specifier. The grammar may conform to Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF). The entity location specifier comprises one or more location elements taken from a superset of location elements needed to specify the locations of entities for network device platforms. The superset of location elements can include both physical and logical entities. As a result, a network management application can retrieve a description of entities and elements contained in a network device using a single request, and can receive a single string value that is parsable to identify individual entities or elements in the device.
