摘要:
A network system of the present invention includes a computer and a device connected via a network, and a system management device. The computer and the device include, respectively, bridges that encapsulate transmission/reception data transmitted and received to and from each other and transmit and receive the data to and from each other via the network. Each of the bridges includes a control data transmitting means for generating control data for controlling the state of the system based on control auxiliary data issued from the computer or the device and used for controlling the state of the system, and transmitting the control data to the system management device via the network. The system management device includes a system controlling means for controlling the state of the system in accordance with the control data received thereby.

Fault tolerance is improved, a functional limitation at the time of start-up of an I/O system is avoided, and a start-up time is shortened. A downstream PCI Express bridge sets a PCI Express device connected to the downstream PCI Express bridge itself, among a plurality of single root-compatible PCI Express devices shared by a plurality of root complexes connected to a plurality of upstream PCI Express bridges that exchange data with the downstream PC Express bridge itself through a network, controls and monitors a state of a physical link with the PCI Express device connected to the downstream PCI Express bridge itself, and performs monitoring and notification of an error of the PCI Express device connected to the downstream PCI Express bridge itself.

A local computer (20) and a remote I/O device (30) are interconnected on a network (40) through an upstream side bridge (21) and a downstream side bridge (31). The upstream side bridge (21) and the downstream side bridge (31) each include a register (216, 316) for referring to or writing a signal aside from a primary data stream that runs through the network (40) from both sides, and a mechanism (217, 317) for transmitting and receiving the signal aside from the primary data stream inband when referring to or writing the signal in the register (216, 316).

Provided are a first PCI-PCI bridge that handles Multi Root to connect to a plurality of root complexes; a second PCI-PCI bridge that connects to an endpoint; a virtual PCI Express switch that performs a switching process between the first and second PCI-PCI bridges; and a network control device that transfers data that is to be processed in the virtual PCI Express switch to an external switch through a network without passing through a PCI-PCI bridge.

A switch (304) includes a plurality of bridges (3041, 3042, 3043, 3044, 3045) and a switch forwarding mechanism (20). Each of the bridges transmits and receives a TLP frame complying with PCI express to and from a device connected to each of the bridges. The switch forwarding mechanism includes a plurality of ports (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) to which the bridges are connected, respectively, selects an output port in dependence on a combination of destination information on the TLP frame input from one of the plurality of ports and the port which input the TLP frame, and outputs the TLP frame from the selected output port.
摘要:
A local-memory side data transfer unit increments the number of addresses, reads out data from a local memory, and stores the data into a cache memory of a remote-memory side data transfer unit. For preventing data mismatching with the local memory from being stored into the cache memory, a cache clearing operation is executed in units of an elapse of a round trip time period for data transfer between the local memory and the remote memory. Alternatively, the cache clearing operation is executed upon receipt of a signal notifying data transfer of data stored at a specified address.
摘要:
Any packet loss is detected very quickly by means of only a series of sequence number in a multi-path environment where a transmitter and a receiver are connected to each other by way of a plurality of networks when no inversion of sequence arises in any of the networks. A communication apparatus includes a plurality of sequence buffers arranged at each network to accumulate packets until a sequence acknowledgement and an absence detecting section adapted to determine the occurrence of an absence of a packet when one or more packets are accumulated in all the sequence buffers. With this arrangement, the absence detecting section of the receiver monitors the packets staying in the sequence guaranteeing buffer arranged in each of the network, paying attention to the characteristic that packets are stored in the sequence buffers of all the networks when a packet loss takes place.
