摘要： A system and method of managing data packets for transmission in a virtual network are disclosed. In some implementations, a network switch may generally comprise a packet modifier that modifies a VLAN tag state of a packet to be egressed as a function of an egress interface and a VLAN-ID assignment. The modified VLAN tag state may include one or more VLAN tags that are in a different order, or that have a different content, in comparison to the VLAN tags of the packet at the time of ingress.

摘要： A device in a server having a processor and a storage. The device has a protocol blind network path indication unit configured to obtain an indicator corresponding to a predetermined path to a data communication unit in the network using a destination address of a received data packet, an upstream communication unit configured to transmit a network protocol blind packet including the data packet and the indicator corresponding to the predetermined data path to the data communication unit in the network, a combiner configured to bind the indicator to the data packet received by the downstream communication unit, and a protocol blind correlation storage unit configured to provide information related to target addresses and indicators corresponding to a plurality of predetermined data paths in the network. The protocol blind network path indication unit obtains the indicator corresponding to a predetermined path by accessing the protocol blind correlation structure.

摘要： An embodiment of the present invention reduces certain memory bandwidth requirements when sending a multicast message from a network device such as a router, bridge or switch. Separate output buffers are provided for different groups of egress ports, and incoming messages are written to some or all of the output buffers. A processing determination is made as to which egress ports will forward the message. Buffers associated with non-forwarding ports are released and the message is queued at the forwarding egress ports. When the message is forwarded, data is read from the output buffers associated with the forwarding egress ports.

摘要： Resources allocated to a group of ports include a plurality of storage regions. Each storage region includes a committed area and a shared area. A destination storage region is identified for a packet. A packet queuing engine stores the packet in the committed area of the determined destination storage region if it has a first drop precedence value, and if available storage space in the committed area exceeds a first threshold. The packet queuing engine stores the packet in the shared area of the determined destination storage region if the packet is not stored in the committed area, and if available storage space exceeds a second threshold defined by the packet's drop precedence value. If the packet is not stored either in the committed or shared area, it may be dropped.

摘要： A first network device includes a first port to provide first data traffic to a first storage area network, a second port to provide second data traffic to a local area network, and memory shared between the first port and the second port to temporarily store the first data traffic in N first buffers and the second data traffic in M second buffers. A queue control module allocates a first memory space of the N first buffers to the first port and a second memory space of the M second buffers to the second port. An adjustment module adjusts a first amount of the first memory space and a second amount of the second memory space in response to a congestion event is caused by a first data traffic. Up to all of the first memory space and the second memory space is allocated to the N first buffers.

摘要： A packet processor includes a forwarding table configured to store address prefixes and a search engine configured to receive a packet and to search the forwarding table. The search engine includes a set bit counter configured to receive an address of the packet, to count set bits of a first bit vector associated with the packet, and to output a number of the set bits. A next hop table is configured to store a next hop pointer. A next bucket pointer receives the number of set bits and outputs one of the next hop pointers and the next bucket pointer based on the number of set bits.
