Abstract: A peer-to-peer wireless controller topology provisioning system includes plurality of networking devices. A plurality of peer-to-peer wireless controllers are included in each networking device and are each configured to control a portion of a single wireless link with another peer-to-peer wireless controller. A management subsystem determines relative locations for each of the networking devices, and a number of peer-to-peer wireless controllers available in each of the networking devices. The management subsystem then uses a maximum hop constraint and a minimum bandwidth constraint to generate a peer-to-peer wireless controller topology for at least some of the peer-to-peer wireless controllers that are available in the networking devices. The management subsystem then provides the peer-to-peer wireless controller topology to each of the networking devices to cause each of the networking devices to configure their available peer-to-peer wireless controllers to provide wireless links according to the peer-to-peer wireless controller topology.

Abstract: A beam forming communication system includes a beam forming wireless communication device that is configured to provide wireless communication signals on a plurality of beamed formed wireless communication paths. A plurality of computing devices are positioned in a rack and are each configured to receive wireless communication signals from the beam forming wireless communication device. Each of the plurality of computing devices may determine whether wireless communication signals satisfy minimum wireless signal characteristics and, if so, provide a beam form receiving indication. The plurality of computing devices are positioned such that only a first subset of the plurality of computing devices provide the beam form receiving indication in response to the beam forming wireless communication device providing the wireless communications signals on a first beam formed wireless communication path.

Abstract: A microburst monitoring system includes a port and a memory system with an egress queue and a shadow queue that are associated with the port. A networking engine is coupled to the port and the memory system and configured to receive and process packets to provide egress frames for forwarding through the port. The networking engine then stores the egress frames in the egress queue, and stores information about each of the egress frames in the shadow queue. When the networking device determines that the storage of the egress frames has caused the egress queue to reach a threshold, the networking device causes the information about each of the egress frames in the egress queue to be captured, and that captured information may be analyzed to determine a source device that is generating at least some of the packets to be throttled.

Abstract: A wireless mesh network repair system includes a first wireless communication device that is configured to provide a first wireless communication path that provides for the transmission of wireless communications between first and second devices and to provide a notification of a change in the first wireless communication path that will prevent the transmission of the wireless communications between the first and second devices on the first wireless communication path. The system further includes at least one second wireless communication device that is configured to receive the notification from the first wireless communication device, and in response, determine a second wireless communication path that will provide for the transmission of wireless communications between the first and second devices, adjust a second wireless communication device communication range, and provide for the transmission of wireless communication signals between the first and second devices on the second wireless communication path.

Abstract: An Ethernet/Fiber Channel conversion system includes a chassis having a first end and a second end that is located opposite the chassis from the first end. An Ethernet interface is located on the first end and is configured to directly mate with an Ethernet port on an Ethernet device. A Fiber Channel interface is located on the second end. An Ethernet/Fiber Channel conversion engine is housed in the chassis and configured to receive Ethernet protocol signals through the Ethernet interface, convert the Ethernet protocol signals to Fiber Channel protocol signals, and send the Fiber Channel protocol signals through the Fiber Channel interface. The Ethernet/Fiber Channel conversion engine is also configured to receive Fiber channel protocol signals from the Fiber Channel IHS through the Fiber Channel interface, convert the Fiber channel protocol signals to Ethernet protocol signals, and send the Ethernet protocol signals through the Ethernet interface.

Abstract: An access point IHS group controller failover system includes a first access point IHS group controller that controls a first access point IHS group that includes plurality of access point IHSs. Following a failure of the first access point IHS group controller, the first access point IHS broadcasts a first access point IHS identifier to a first subset of the plurality of access point IHSs. The first access point IHS then registers the first subset of the plurality of access point IHSs as members of a second access point IHS group, and controls at least some functions of the second access point IHS group. When the first access point IHS detects activity from the first access point IHS group controller, it instructs the first subset of the plurality of access point IHSs in the second access point IHS group to reconnect to the first access point IHS group controller.

Abstract: A device/PHY mapping maintaining system includes a rack that houses a networking device and that is configured to house a server device in different locations. The networking device provides a device/PHY mapping between the server device and a first PHY when the server device communicates with a first antenna system that is connected to the first PHY through a first radio processing engine. The networking device determines that the server device is communicating with a second antenna system that is connected to a second PHY through a second radio processing engine and, in response, connects the second antenna system to the first PHY to maintain the device/PHY mapping between the server device and the first PHY by connecting at least one of the second antenna system and the first PHY to a different radio processing engine.

Abstract: An access point information handling system (IHS) group management system includes a group management IHS that is coupled to a plurality of access point IHSs through a network. The group management IHS receives a group request from a first access point IHS, then retrieves group configuration information from the group configuration database using information about the first access point IHS, and uses the group configuration information to determine an access point IHS group. The access point IHS group includes the first access point IHS and at least one second access point IHS. The group management IHS then determines an access point IHS group controller that is one of the first access point IHS and the at least one second access point IHS. The group management IHS then identifies the access point IHS group and the access point IHS group controller to the first access point IHS.
