    摘要: A novel mechanism prevents interleaving of packet cells from different source nodes on the same multicast port group at switches of a multicast virtual circuit in a cell-switched network: however, different cells bound for different multicast port groups may be interleaved. The mechanism comprises specific routing information that is stored in each multicast group port entry of a forwarding table located within each switch of the multicast virtual circuit. The forwarding table also stores information relating to each multicast port group including a virtual circuit value for each port of the multicast group. The specific routing information is provided for each multicast port group entry to notify the switch when data traffic for a particular packet is pending through a port of the multicast group and when that data traffic ceases, i.e., when the "end-of-packet" is reached. This ensures that the packets may be correctly reassembled at the destination nodes.

    摘要: A method for connecting a first communications system with a second communications system is disclosed. A first frame is received at a first station. The first station is connected to both the first communication system and the second communication system. The first frame has a destination address field, and the destination address field contains a desired destination address. The first station forwards, in response to the desired destination address, the first frame onto the second communications system as a second frame, and the first station writes a second destination address into a destination address field of the second frame. The first station writes the desired destination address into a predetermined field of the second frame. The first station writes, an indicator into the second frame, the indicator is capable of being interpreted by a receiving station to mean that the desired destination address is written into the predetermined field of the second frame. The receiving station receives the second frame. The receiving station is also connected to a third communications system. The receiving station reads, in response to the indicator, the desired destination address from the predetermined field of the second frame, and writes the desired destination address into a destination address field of a third frame. The receiving station forwards the second frame onto the third communications system as a third frame.

    摘要: A multicast connection arrangement is provided by which a source node may establish multicast virtual circuits to a group of destination nodes of an arbitrary-topology network using a single procedure, and may subsequently modify those circuits, i.e., add or delete destination nodes, with a single, related procedure. The arrangement includes a multicast setup packet for opening the multicast virtual circuits, the packet containing a multicast identifier field, a virtual circuit field and a destination field identifying a list of desired destination node addresses. The multicast setup packet may be also used to add destination nodes to the circuits while a multicast delete packet is used to delete nodes from the circuits. When adding nodes to the multicast virtual circuits, a topology analysis process is provided to prevent the formation of an unstable network topology.

    摘要: An apparatus for forwarding a data packet from a first link to a second link is disclosed. The apparatus is coupled with a plurality of computer networks through ports on the apparatus. The apparatus maintains a spanning tree list indicating which of the apparatus ports are active. The apparatus receives a packet, and determines if the packet was received from a port that is active. If the packet was received from a port that is not active, the packet is discarded. If the packet is not discarded, the data link source address of the packet is stored in a database within the apparatus for the computer network coupled with the port from which the packet was received. The apparatus then decides, responsive to a contents of a data link destination address field in the packet, whether to forward the packet as a bridge or to forward the packet as a router. If the apparatus forwards the packet as a router, the apparatus sends a redirect message to update the data link layer destination address used by the originating station to contain the data link layer address of the destination station where the destination station is on a link remote from the link of the originating station. For the subsequent packets the apparatus then behaves as a bridge by forwarding the subsequent packets based upon parsing of only the Data Link Header. For forwarding of subsequent packets, the apparatus is advantageously fast, in accordance with bridge operation.

    摘要: A technique for issuing and revoking user certificates of authenticity in a public key cryptography system, wherein certificates do not need expiration dates, and the inconvenience and overhead associated with routine certificate renewals are minimized or avoided entirely. A Certification Authority issues certificates as required, and issues a blacklist having a start date, an expiration date, and an entry for every invalid certificate issued after the start date. Users assume that every certificate issued prior to the blacklist start date is invalid, and that invalid certificates issued after the start date will be included in the current blacklist. A new blacklist is issued prior to expiration of the current one, and the blacklist start date is changed only when the blacklist becomes unmanageably long.

    摘要: A secure arrangement in which stations in a communications network are informed of the addresses of their neighbors by means of identifying messages transmitted by the stations. To prevent the insertion of illegitimate stations into the network, the system makes use of passwords included in the station-identifying messages. In networks where eavesdropping is possible, the passwords are encrypted versions of the identities of the stations transmitting the messages and in systems where stations can also be impersonated, the encrypted passwords also include time stamps.

    摘要: A technique for generating, distributing and maintaining a list of operational nodes in a network using a nonbroadcast communication medium, wherein the nodes first collectively agree on the identity of a designated node. Once the designated node is agreed on, the other nodes periodically send Hello messages to it and the designated nodes compiles a list of operational nodes based in part on the Hello messages it receives, and periodically sends a Hello message to each node on the list. The Hello message from the designated node includes a list of addresses of active neighbor nodes, so that every node periodically receives a list of operational neighbor nodes. The number of messages needed to implement this scheme is proportional to the number of nodes, rather than the square of the number of nodes as in a conventional approach in which each node advised every other node of its presence. Selection of the designated node can be on the basis of some unique property of each node, such as identification number or an encoded priority.
