摘要： A grid router for routing packets and a network containing the same. The router comprises ingress units (IE), mailbox units (MU), and egress units (EU) connected in a structure of succeeding layers, said layered structure being segregated such that units in a given layer are connected only to a subset of units in a succeeding layer, wherein said grid router comprises a hashing unit for using a hashing function to direct incoming packets through said layers, and wherein said hashing function is configured to reinforce said segregation by directing packets arriving at a given unit in one layer only to units of a corresponding subset in said succeeding layer.

摘要： A method whereby local area network (LAN) multicast traffic flows are defined and set up by the network management system (NMS). Network efficiency is maximized and performance degradation of the network and workstations connected thereto is reduced. The method utilizes standard 802.1D bridging infrastructure built into conventional level 2 network switching devices to permit a administrator to define a multicast flow, otherwise known as a virtual LAN (VLAN) or a ‘Session VLAN,’ as a multicast application that can be mapped to a multicast MAC address. The multicast MAC address is then utilized in the transmission of the multicast messages. The NMS declares a session VLAN across all the level 2 devices in the network utilizing standard SNMP and members of the session VLAN can be added and removed. Each device then translates the SNMP requests to an operation on its standard 802.1D static addresses.

摘要： A method for creating and resolving split VLANs in ATM networks. The method utilizes a Network Management System (NMS) and a standard management protocol such as SNMP. The method monitors the network by continuously polling all the devices in the network. Status related information collected by the NMS is used to construct a physical and logical topology of the network. In response to the detection of one or more physical splits in the network, the NMS creates one or more corresponding logical splits in the network by splitting one or more VLANs. In the case of two split portions, the split VLAN can be created if a redundant LES and second LECS are located on the side of the split which does not include the primary LES. The second LECS is configured to use the address of the redundant LES in replying to requests to join an ELAN from the disconnected LECs. The repair of the physical split is detected by the NMS and, in response, the NMS modifies the databases of all the LECS in the ELAN so that the same primary LES address is returned to any LEC requesting to join an ELAN. LECs previously attached to the redundant LES are disconnected and subsequently attached to the primary LES.

摘要： A grid router includes a plurality of external interface units to receive packets of services from one point and to provide packets of services to another point and a second plurality of mailbox units to store and forward the packets associated with mailboxes, one per service. Each mailbox unit is connected to each external interface unit. The units are implemented on PCs (personal computers) having memory controllers and move the packets through the router close to or at the IPO (input/output) rate of the memory controllers.
