    摘要: RingOp/Claim oscillations due to duplicate addresses and transmit aborts are avoided by using token preserver frames to reset the TVX timer in a station. A communications network having a plurality of stations capable of transmitting frames onto the network, and the stations capable of detecting transmission on the network, and the stations capable of taking predetermined action in the absence of detecting the transmission for a predetermined first time interval, and a first timer for measuring the predetermined first time interval. Measuring a second predetermined time interval, the second predetermined time interval being chosen to be less than the first predetermined time interval; transmitting a reset frame onto the network by a selected station at time intervals substantially equal to the second predetermined time interval, and the reset frames being capable of causing a station to reset the first timer to a beginning value. The network may be a token controlled ring. The reset frame may be a token preserver frame.

    摘要: A communication system includes plural nodes interconnected with an optical transmission medium capable of carrying plural bands of optical channels. A device at each node is coupled to the medium for dropping one or more bands, adding one or more bands, and passively transmitting other bands such that a pair of nodes can communicate directly using a band common to the respective bands. One band of the bands associated with each of a first set of nodes overlaps with one band of the bands associated with each of a second set of nodes. Multiple overlapping bands provide a high level of wavelength termination diversity. An optical management bus system and method connects plural hybrid optical/electrical cables between transmission equipment and optical modules which connect to network fibers to provide a set of electrical connections that can be used to determine optical interconnections in an optical shelf configuration. A particular optical module can be identified as the root of an optical branching tree at a node and thereby the unique termination point of a network fiber such that a physical fiber topology can be associated with the logical fiber topology.

    摘要: A method for improving modal bandwidth in computer networks using multimode optical fiber and single mode sources is disclosed in which the optical signal from a center of the optical fiber is blocked from reaching detector. This is accomplished according to a number of different techniques including the use of opaque spots on the fiber media/fiber couplers or the use of dark-cored fiber couplers. These configurations prevent pulse splitting that occurs in single mode source/multimode fiber systems by preventing light from the multimode fiber's center from interfering with the detector. When this is achieved, the detector is insulated from the effects of any pulse splitting, supporting data rates of greater than one GBPS by increasing the modal bandwidth.

    摘要: The input bandwidth of a data transfer device is increased by altering the conventional memory arbitration method in which a data cell is stored and a data cell is forwarded during each data transfer cycle. The input data rate is monitored and when the input data rate exceeds the maximum average throughput of the memory, the outcome of the memory arbitration cycle is changed so that the memory arbitration cycle consists of two stores (memory write operations) instead of one store and one forward (memory read operation.) In effect, the input memory arbitration process steals cycles from the output memory arbitration process when the input load exceeds that of the maximum average memory throughput. In accordance with one embodiment, the input data rate is monitored by examining input port FIFO buffers for the presence of data cells waiting for storage. Based on the results of the FIFO monitoring and the outcome of the current port arbitration cycle, a decision is made on the following port arbitration cycle whether to change the normal memory arbitration pattern.

    摘要: A duplicate address condition in a computer network may be detected by a station of the type for attachment to a computer communications network, the network capable of maintaining communications among a plurality of stations, the station having means for receiving a frame, the frame having a source address field and a frame control field; means for maintaining an individual address of the station; means for maintaining a source address list of address, the source address list not containing the individual address; means for determining that a contents of the source address field in the frame matches at least one address in the source address list; means for determining that the frame control field of the frame has a predetermined contents; and, means, responsive to the source address of the frame matching at least one address in the source address list and the frame control field of the frame having the predetermined value, for setting an indicator that a duplicate address condition exists. The predetermined contents of the frame control field further comprises an indication that the frame is a predetermined type of control frame. The predetermined type of claim may be a beacon frame, a claim frame, or some other MAC protocol frame. The list of alias addresses may be stored in a content addressable memory. A cyclical redundancy check may be used for determining that bits from the source address field and bits from the frame control field are error free.

    摘要: A switchable interface for conveniently coupling a network station of the CSMA/CD type to a network having any of a variety of communication media. The invention provides a single interface connector through which connection may be made directly to a twisted-pair medium, using the 10BASE-T protocol, or to a medium of a different type, through an AUI protocol and an appropriate media attachment unit. The interface connector has pin assignments chosen to minimize adverse effects of misconfiguring the station by connecting to a network having a protocol that is different from the one selected in the switchable interface. In one form of the invention, the switchable interface has the ability to determine the protocol being used by the network to which it is connected, and to switch the interface accordingly. Use of the common interface reduces station equipment cost and provides for increased user convenience, since only a single connector is needed to connect to a variety of media types.
