    摘要: A method for providing redundancy to an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) emulated local-area network (LAN) is disclosed. The ATM emulated LAN is served by a primary LAN Emulation Server, a Broadcast and Unknown Server (LES/BUS), and a LAN Emulation Configuration Server (LECS). A backup LES/BUS is coupled to the ATM emulated LAN. A logical redundancy virtual channel connection (VCC) is then established between the primary LES/BUS and the backup LES/BUS. When the redundancy VCC is present between the primary LES/BUS and the backup LES/BUS, the backup LES/BUS is placed in a dormant mode. However, when the redundancy VCC is absence between the primary LES/BUS and the backup LES/BUS, the backup LES/BUS is activated to serve any request generated by the ATM emulated LAN.

    摘要: A method for providing a security mechanism to an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) emulated local-area network (LAN) is disclosed. The ATM emulated LAN is served by a LAN Emulation Server (LES), a Broadcast and Unknown Server (BUS), and a LAN Emulation Configuration Server (LECS). After receiving a LE_JOIN_REQUEST from an LE client within the emulated LAN, the LES forms a LE_CONFIGURE_REQUEST on behalf of the LE client, by utilizing the information from the LE_JOIN_REQUEST. The LES then sends the LE_CONFIGURE_REQUEST to the LECS. In turn, the LECS sends back a LE_CONFIGURE_RESPONSE to the LES. After receiving the LE_CONFIGURE_RESPONSE from the LECS, a determination is made as to whether or not a status field within the LE_CONFIGURE_RESPONSE indicates a success and a target ATM address field within the LE_CONFIGURE_RESPONSE contains an ATM address of the LES. If both of the above-mentioned conditions are met, the LES then sends a LE_JOIN_RESPONSE with a success status back to the requesting LE client such that the requesting LE client is allowed to join the emulated LAN.

    摘要: An apparatus comprising a network interface coupled to a data network, a network address translator and a controller. The network interface may receive network traffic from the communicatively coupled data network adhering to any of a number of alternative network protocols. The network address translator identifies network session information within the received network traffic adhering to any of a number of alternative protocols. The controller selects network traffic to be cached based, at least in part, on the network session information identified by the network address translator.

    摘要: An aggregation device that connects a plurality of internal sub-networks processes a packet that is destined for one of the plurality of sub-networks. The aggregation device receives the packet and determines an internal sub-network identification value based on the combination of an external sub-network identification value that is in the packet, and a port of the aggregation device to which the one of the plurality of internal sub-networks is connected. The aggregation device may also determine an external sub-network identification value based on an internal sub-network identification value that is associated with a port of the aggregation device to which one of the plurality of internal sub-networks is connected. The external sub-network identification value is stored in the packet and the packet is transmitted on the port of the aggregation device to which the one of the plurality of internal sub-networks is connected.
