    摘要: Method and apparatus for establishing connections in a switch-based communications network for multicast traffic. A source receives a multicast packet on an access port from a source host, determines a group address in the multicast packet, and composes and sends a “sender present” message to other switches on its network ports. The receiving switches determine whether a local host wishes to join the group and if so, send a map message back toward the source switch on a predetermined path between the receiving switch and the source switch. A map message may terminate at a switch on the path that already has a connection for this group/source pair, and join into this connection as an additional output port. In this manner, a “signal out, connect back” method is provided for establishing a connection path from the sender to multiple receivers. In addition, multicast traffic can be sent across a switch/router interface in either direction, providing for controlled multicast traffic between router-based networks and switch-based networks.

    摘要: A color to monochromatic image transformation which transforms each color area of the original image into a corresponding area of a monochromatic image having a particular pattern of `light` and `dark` dots corresponding to and representing the original color of the area. The dot patterns are selected to provide both gray scale representations of the original colors and differing textural appearances for each color, so as to maximize the discrimination between the areas of the monochromatic image. The monochromatic dot patterns do not necessarily correspond exactly to the colors or gray scale values of the original colors, but are selected to provide visual impressions analogous to the visual impressions provided by the corresponding original colors.A further feature of the dot arrays selected to represent various colors is that the patterns of dots are selected for each array so as to avoid the creation of artifacts, that is, the formation of accidental or incidental patterns and figures within a given array or at the junction or border between two arrays.A yet further feature is the enhancement, during transformation, of the visual appearance of alphanumeric characters and symbols. The original background color of the character or symbol is transformed into a monochromatic color pattern mask dot pattern as previously described. The original character or symbol foreground color field, that is, the character or symbol itself, however, is either transformed into a dark (black) field if the background color was `light` or into a light (white) field if the background color was `dark`. In the latter case, the original foreground field is effectively discarded and the character or symbol appears as a light `hole` in the `dark` background field.

    摘要: Forming a character-based monochromatic image from a digital representation of a color image by (1) forming a character-based representation of the color image in which a plurality of color characters each describe the background and foreground color within a defined area of the color image, (2) providing a plurality of color pattern masks each corresponding to a color in the color image and comprised of a pattern of light and dark dots capable of providing, in the monochromatic image, visual discrimination between areas of different color, (3) transforming the color characters to monochromatic characters by replacing the background and foreground color of each color character with the corresponding pattern of light and dark dots, and (4) displaying the monochromatic characters on a character-based output device (e.g., a CRT display driven by a character-based controller).

    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for connection-oriented switching in a communications network wherein a pre-established path is established between a select pair of an ingress switch and an egress switch. The use of pre-established paths enables a reduction in the total number of connections required inside the switch cloud, reduces the CPU load on trunk switches, and shortens the time for connection setup. In the embodiment described, the DA/SA fields of a MAC frame data packet are replaced with a “virtual path”, which identifies the pre-established path between the ingress and egress switches. A “virtual circuit” is provided in another field of the modified packet which specifies the out-port and out-header on the egress switch for demultiplexing the modified packet upon receipt at the egress switch. The virtual circuit is exchanged between the ingress and egress switches at connection setup. The virtual path is assumed to already be in place, and known to both switches, prior to connection setup.
