Abstract:
A packet processor for a network device includes an incoming port that receives a first packet. The first packet includes a data portion, a control portion and a first outgoing port. A control data processing device receives the control portion from the incoming port while the data portion is stored in memory, and transmits the control portion to the first outgoing port. The first outgoing port transmits a first request for the data portion based on the control portion. A header altering device retrieves the data portion from the memory and strips, modifies, and encapsulates the data portion based on the first request.

Abstract:
Test samples for use in conducting integrated circuit alpha particle emissions testing, processes for preparing test samples for use in conducting integrated circuit alpha particle emissions testing, and processes for conducting integrated circuit alpha particle emissions testing using the test samples, are described. The approach takes into account the effects of the relative physical positions of the respective components within a final integrated circuit package, and takes into account the effect of contamination of individual components or of the integrated circuit package as a whole due to conditions and/or processes performed during the production process. The described approach relates to test sample preparation and integrated circuit alpha particle emissions testing for integrated circuits in which the alpha particle emission levels are extremely low, i.e., in the ultra low alpha region, for example, alpha particle emissions less than 0.002 cph/cm2.

Abstract:
A processor of a network device determines a timestamping method for communicating timing information corresponding to transmission of a timing message to another network device. The timestamping method is selected from a set of multiple timestamping methods that the network device is configured to perform, including: i) a one-step timestamping method, and ii) a two-step timestamping method. The processor generates a control header corresponding to the timing message, which includes a first field and a second field, the second field indicating a type of information within the first field. The first field indicates the timestamping method. The processor transfers the timing message to timestamping circuitry; and transfers the control header to the timestamping circuitry to indicate to the timestamping circuitry the timestamping method to be performed by the timestamping circuitry in connection with transmitting the timing message to the other network device.
Abstract:
Timestamp circuitry of a network device modifies a packet by embedding a future timestamp in the packet to generate a timestamped packet. The future timestamp corresponds to a transmit time that occurs after the timestamp circuitry embeds the future timestamp in the packet. The timing information is added to the packet and the packet is then transferred to transmitter circuitry of the network device via a communication link, internal to the network device, that operates according to a media independent communication interface. Time gating circuitry of the transmitter circuitry i) holds the timestamped packet from proceeding to a network link coupled to the network device prior to a current time reaching the transmit time, and ii) releases the timestamped packet for transmission via the network link in response to the current time reaching the transmit time.
Abstract:
A network device is capable of transmitting and/or receiving packets that are encrypted according to a particular network security protocol, while being encapsulated according to any of a variety of tunneling protocols independent of the particular network security protocol. In such embodiments, a customer or network administrator can use the particular network security protocol while having the freedom to choose a particular tunneling protocol that is best suited for a network implementation instead of being limited to a specific tunneling protocol for a particular network security protocol.
