Abstract: A method and apparatus that recognizes a portion of an address that would be unrecognizable to an intended associated switch or device and manipulates the portion of the address to make it recognizable. The apparatus and method manipulates a discontinuous address to provide the appearance to the associated device, switch or peripheral, that the address is continuous. This provides additional address capacity such that a new address is created within the switch itself for routing data within the switch. All or a portion of the switches in network are preassigned a chassis address, and each chassis also has a specific switch address that is different from the preassigned chassis address. An address adaptor provides translation of addresses and mapping within a switch so that in the event of a port failure, affected frames can be redirected from the failed port by employing the described translation and mapping operations.

Abstract translation: 一种方法和装置，其识别对于预期的相关联的开关或装置将无法识别的地址的一部分，并且操纵地址的该部分以使其可识别。 该装置和方法操纵不连续地址以向相关联的设备，交换机或外围设备提供该地址是连续的外观。 这提供额外的地址容量，使得在交换机本身内创建新的地址以在交换机内路由数据。 网络中的全部或部分交换机预先分配了机箱地址，并且每个机箱还具有与预分配的机箱地址不同的特定交换机地址。 地址适配器提供交换机内的地址和映射的转换，使得在端口故障的情况下，受影响的帧可以通过采用所描述的转换和映射操作从故障端口重定向。

Abstract: A method for providing an early packet termination such that prior to the complete transmission of the number of cells specified in the first cell of a packet, a crossbar connection is released. The act of releasing the connection is triggered on recognition of an End of Packet bit (EOP) set in any cell of the stream. The feature can be enabled, for example, by a specific act of setting a register bit, connecting a pin to Vcc or ground or some other intentional act. The feature will default to the inactive state upon reset.
