    摘要: A route switching layer is provided to end stations on a local area network (LAN) segment between the network layer protocol stack and the LAN adapter device driver. The route switching layer reads the network layer protocol header in a data frame queued for transmission. If the data frame is destined for a station on a different LAN segment, the route switching layer compares the network layer address with entries stored in a local address table. If a match occurs, the route switching layer inserts the corresponding data link layer address from the table in the data link header that is appended to the data frame. The data frame is then transmitted directly from source to destination end station by a hardware switch. If an address table match does not occur, the source station route switching layer sends a query to a route server device for the data link layer address corresponding to the network layer address of the destination end station. The route server sends a response to the source station route switching layer which then stores the destination address information in the local address table.

    摘要: A method of automatically determining an attached device type for a multi-port LAN switch, and configuring the port based on the attached device type is provided. The method comprises setting a LAN switch port to a port mode, and determining, during a first period of time, whether an attached device is attempting to insert at the LAN switch port. If the attached device is attempting to insert during this first period of time, the method continues by configuring the LAN switch port in the port mode. If the attached device is not attempting to insert during the first period of time, the method continue by setting the LAN switch port in an adapter mode, transmitting a test frame to the attached device, and then determining, during a second period of time, whether a response frame is received from the attached device. If a response frame is received during the second period of time, the method further includes configuring the LAN switch port in the adapter mode.

    摘要: A LAN switch includes port modules which receive frames from their respective LAN segments and forwards the frames simultaneously to all output ports and to a port look-up function which determines the output port to which the frames should be forwarded. If the port look-up function identifies the output port, frame transmission is halted at all ports except the identified port. By performing the forwarding function and port look-up function simultaneously, a zero latency switch is provided.

    摘要: This invention relates to "clear pipe" communication networks meaning the nodes and links handle a variety of data frame types depending on their communication protocols such as Token Ring, Ethernet, FDDI or ATM. More particularly, this invention relates to node/link interface adapters at nodes which include switching nodes and end nodes. The adapters identify data frame type and adapt the node/link adapter operative elements to handle the various types of data frames as they travel through the network.The invention identifies the frame type at the source, flags the frame type to the nodes by use of unique SDEL (start delimiter) symbols or codes, uses the SDEL codes as received with the frame at each node to find the destination address in the frame and to adjust the transmission rate for the frame. The transmission rate is adjusted by inserting null non-data symbols in the frame to effectively slow the data rate to the data rate capacity of the protocol.

    摘要: In a local area network switch, a first mode of operation is selected wherein frames are examined for errors as the frames are passed from a source port to a destination port. The LAN switch calculates an error rate as a function of a percentage of the frames passing through the local area network switch which have errors. In response to the error rate exceeding a high error rate threshold, the operating mode is switched to a second mode wherein the entire frame is buffered and examined for errors before the frame is passed from the source port to the destination port. Thereafter, the operating mode may be returned to the first mode if the error rate falls below a low error rate threshold. The local area network switch may also change operating modes as a function of a trend, which indicates a rate of increase or decrease of the error rate.
