    摘要: A method and structure for determining when a frame of information comprised of one or more buffers of data being transmitted in a network processor has completed transmission is provided. The network processor includes several control blocks, one for each data buffer, each containing control information linking one buffer to another. Each control block has a last bit feature which is a single bit settable to “one or “zero” and indicates the transmission of when the data buffer having the last bit. The last bit is in a first position when an additional data buffer is to be chained to a previous data buffer indicating an additional data buffer is to be transmitted and a second position when no additional data buffer is to be chained to a previous data buffer. The position of the last bit is communicated to the network processor indicating the ending of a particular frame.

    摘要: A communication network used to link information handling systems together utilizes a switching network to transmit data among senders and receivers. Each individual packet of data is described and controlled by an FCB. The bandwidth associated with the storing and distribution of data is optimized by chaining the data packets in different types of queues, or operating without chaining outside a queue. When a frame is in an output queue, the third word contains an RFCBA for egress of the frame to a line port, and an MCID for ingress from an output queue to a switch port. The RFCBA and the MCID have multicast capabilities. The format does not require a third word when a frame is in an input queue.

    摘要: Systems and methods for scheduling data packets in a network processor are disclosed. Embodiments provide a network processor that comprises a best-effort scheduler with a minimal calendar structure for addressing schedule control blocks. In one embodiment, a three-entry calendar structure provides for weighted best effort scheduling. Each of a plurality different flows has an associated schedule control block. Schedule control blocks are stored as linked lists in a last-in-first-out buffer. Each calendar entry is associated with a different linked list by storing in the calendar entry the address of the first-out schedule control block in the linked list. Each schedule control block has a counter and is assigned a weight according to the bandwidth priority of the flow to which the corresponding packet belongs. Each time a schedule control block is accessed from a last-in-first-out buffer storing the linked list, the scheduler generates a scheduling event and the counter of the schedule control block is incremented. When an incremented counter of a schedule control block equals its weight, the schedule control block is temporarily removed from further scheduling.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for multicasting messages stored in data buffers of a data storage. Each message is composed of data stored in a plurality of the data buffers. Each data buffer is controlled and mapped to a unique direct control block (DCB) which stores information characterizing the data buffer. By chaining the DCBs variable length, messages can be generated. Indirect control blocks (ICB) stores information characterizing the data or messages duplicated and points to a DCB. A field in the DCB carries a count representing the number of times the message is to be duplicated.

    摘要: The invention discloses a method and an apparatus for in-line and on-site updating of Field Programmable Gate Arrays with remote loaded configuration data files. Flash EEPROMs which are used because of their non-volatile memories and their high density, are storing more than one configuration data file. The memories are divided in more than one part, each part of the memory for storing one configuration data file. One part of the memory also contains a flag identifying the currently loaded configuration data file. The Flash EPROM's bits being set to one same binary value before any writing operation, including the update of the configuration data file containing the flag. The setting of the bits to said binary value always identifies a valid other configuration data file in order to insure a correct re-loading of the FPGAs in case of reception of an unexpected event leading to an initialization.
