    摘要: In a network having one or more intermediate devices coupled to end stations by respective links, and including a multicast source end station such as a remote access server for an Internet service provider, and a plurality of multicast receiving end stations, such as customer premises equipment CPE, coupled to an intermediate device in the network, a method for distributing multicast distribution functions to the intermediate device is described. The method comprises establishing point-to-point sessions between the source end station and the plurality of receiving end stations according to a communication protocol such as the PPP. Also, a point-to-point session is established between the multicast source end station and the intermediate device by which the source end station feeds multicast messages to the intermediate device that are directed to a set of multicast groups. The method involves transmitting from end stations in the plurality of receiving end stations to the intermediate device respective multicast join messages. The multicast join messages include information identifying one or more multicast groups for the respective receiving end stations to join. In this way, the intermediate device is enabled to forward multicast messages directed to a particular multicast group in the set of multicast groups to the receiving end stations which have joined the particular multicast group.

    摘要: A bridge (62) capable of reducing unwanted WAN multicast packet traffic in a LAN and an associated method and an associated LAN is disclosed. The bridge examines the contents of WAN multicast query and report packets and WAN multicast router-to-router discovery packets and includes this information in its filtering database (88). The bridge designates ports on which query packets or MRRDPs are received as router ports. When there is no WAN router generating multicast query packets into the LAN, the bridge simulates the behavior of a WAN router and generates WAN multicast query packets so as to cause report packet generation by end systems. A timeout interval for undesignating router ports and a method for determining an appropriate timeout for a port is disclosed.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for performing RAID-6 computations using simple arithmetic functions and two-dimensional table lookup operations. Four lookup tables are computed and saved prior to normal operation of a RAID-6 disk array. During normal operation of the RAID-6 disk array, all RAID-6 related computations may be performed using a small set of simple arithmetic operations and a set of lookup operations to three of the four previously saved lookup tables. Greater computational efficiency is gained by reducing the RAID-6 computations to simple operations that are performed efficiently on a typical central processing unit or graphics processing unit.
