Roller cone bits include a steel bit body having a leg extending therefrom. A steel cone is disposed on the leg and includes steel cutting elements projecting outwardly therefrom. One of the cutting elements comprises a steel base integral with the cone and that projects therefrom. A cutting element end is attached to the base portion and extends to form a cutting element tip. The base and end portions are attached when the cone base are in a preexisting rigid state. The end portion comprises a wear resistant material having a material microstructure comprising a first phase of grains selected from the group of carbides, borides, nitrides, and carbonitrides of W, Ti, Mo, Nb, V, Hf, Ta, and Cr refractory metals; and a second phase of a binder material selected from the group consisting of Co, Ni, Fe, and alloys thereof.

Roller cone bits of this invention include a steel bit body having at least one leg extending therefrom. A steel cone is rotatably disposed on the leg. The steel cone includes a plurality of steel cutting elements that each project outwardly a distance therefrom. At least one of the cutting elements comprises a steel base portion that is integral with the cone and that projects a distance therefrom. A cutting element end portion is attached to the base portion and extends therefrom to form a tip of the cutting element. The base and end portions are permanently attached together when the cone and base are in a preexisting rigid state. The cutting element end portion is formed from a wear resistant material having a material microstructure comprising a first phase of grains selected from the group of carbides, borides, nitrides, and carbonitrides of W, Ti, Mo, Nb, V, Hf, Ta, and Cr refractory metals; and a second phase of a binder material selected from the group consisting of Co, Ni, Fe, and alloys thereof.

Methods and apparatus are provided for managing multicast Internet Protocol (IP) flows. According to one embodiment, a multicast IP flow is identified at an interface of a network device using information from a packet header. For any newly identified multicast IP flow, if flow-specific services are required, a new first transmit control block (TCB), which includes one or more attributes relating to flow-specific services required by the newly identified multicast IP flow, is created for the newly identified multicast IP flow. Otherwise, if flow-specific services are not required by the newly identified multicast IP flow, a default second TCB, which excludes any attributes relating to flow-specific services and which includes one or more attributes related to a virtual interface (VI) serving as an outbound interface (OIF) for the newly identified multicast IP flow, is used.

Methods, apparatus and data structures are provided for managing multicast IP flows. According to one embodiment, a memory of a router has stored therein a data structure, which includes information relating to multicast sessions being handled by the router and including a first pointer for each multicast session, at least one chain of blocks of second pointers and one or more TCBs. Each first pointer points to a chain of blocks of second pointers. Each second pointer corresponds to an OIF of the router participating in the multicast session defined by the first pointer and defines how many times packets associated with the multicast session are to be replicated. The TCBs are configured to store control information relevant to processing or routing packets. Each second pointer points to a TCB and each TCB identifies the OIF out which packets of the multicast session are transmitted from the router.

Methods and systems are provided for routing traffic through a virtual router-based network switch. According to one embodiment, a method for routing packets in a router includes establishing a flow data structure, which identifies a packet flow through a virtual router in the router. When a packet is received, a comparison is performed between a subset of at least one packet header associated with the packet and a subset of the flow data structure. If the subset of the packet header matches the subset of the flow data structure, then the packet can be hardware accelerated to a network interface. Otherwise, the packet may be either dropped or forwarded to a general purpose processor for processing.

摘要:
This document describes, among other things, a router providing service-enabled multicast forwarding for a flow-based architecture. Services are enabled using inbound/outbound policies from Access Control Lists (ACLs). In a first mode, per-flow services are not enabled, and flows are aggregated for efficiency. In a second mode, per-flow services are enabled, and control information for an outbound interface (OIF) is shared across all multicast flows that do not have per-flow service enabled. A flow management scheme for these modes allows dynamic multicast membership updates while reducing disruption of active flows. This supports a large multicast OIF list and a high rate of multicast “Joins” and “Leaves”. This provides scalability and performance, such as desired for deploying multicast for broadband subscriber applications.

A cutting tool that includes at least one tungsten carbide cutting element disposed on a support, wherein at least one tungsten carbide cutting element has at least one localized region having a material property different from the remaining region, wherein the at least one localized region having a different material property is prepared by a method including determining at least one localized region needing a variation in a material property different from the remaining region; coating a portion of a surface of the at least one tungsten carbide cutting element with a refractory material such that a surface corresponding to the localized region is left uncoated; and treating the coated cutting element with a selected agent to diffuse the selected agent into the localized region is disclosed.
