    摘要: Reassembly of member cells into a packet comprises receiving an incoming member cell of a packet from a switching fabric wherein each member cell comprises a segment of the packet and a header, generating a reassembly key using selected information from the incoming member cell header wherein the selected information is the same for all member cells of the packet, checking a reassembly table in a content addressable memory to find an entry that includes a logic key matching the reassembly key, and using a content index in the found entry and a sequence number of the incoming member cell within the packet, to determine a location offset in a reassembly buffer area for storing the incoming member cell at said location offset in the reassembly buffer area for the packet for reassembly.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a method includes sending a switch discovery signal to one or more of a plurality of switches, receiving a reply to the switch discovery signal from the one or more of the plurality of switches, each reply comprising a switch identifier (ID) and a quantity of ports, receiving configuration information identifying at least one virtual stack to create, determining a virtual topology for the at least one virtual stack based on the configuration information, creating a first virtual stack of the at least one virtual stack by assigning at least one switch port of a source switch to the first virtual stack of the at least one virtual stack in accordance with the configuration information, and storing the virtual topology in a mapping table local to a computer comprising the first computer processor.
