Abstract: A control system for packet transmission. A forward control unit receives a packet providing a port count through an input port and implements a lookup operation. A queue control unit determines whether the port count is greater than a first predetermined value, and, if not, outputs the packet through a first port, and, if so, sends a first message. A multicast forward control unit receives the first message, adds one to a first packet count, determines whether the first packet count is greater than a threshold value, and, if so, sends a stop forward message to the forward control unit but does not send a grant message. The forward control unit receives the stop forward message and does not transmit subsequent packets to the first port but to a second port directly.

Abstract: A packet switching device simultaneously supports a tagged mode and an untagged mode. A plurality of ports of the packet switching device perform packet delivery and reception, and a port map defines VIDs and operating modes of the ports. Each port operates in tagged or untagged mode, and is associated with at least one VID. The range of VIDs in untagged mode is bounded in a first range, the range of VIDs in tagged mode is bounded in a second range, and the first and second ranges are not overlapped. The plurality of ports comprises a first port operating in untagged mode, associated with a first VID within the first range. The first port receives a first packet, and the packet switching device searches the port map to locate other ports having the first VID and forwards the first packet thereto.

Abstract: A method for expanding a service VLAN space of a provider network is provided. A bit number occupied by a taq protocol identifier (TPID) in a TPID field is reduced to leave a plurality of spare bits. The spare bits of the TPID field is then used to represent a first portion of a service VLAN identifier. A VLAN identifier field of a tag control information (TCI) field is used to represent a second portion of the service VLAN identifier. The first and second portions are then combined to obtain the service VLAN identifier of the packets completely.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for handling the bandwidth allocation of a networking device. The networking device forwards a plurality of packets. A host attribute table is first searched according to a host attribute of the packets to obtain a host attribute table index of the packets. An application attribute table is then searched according to an application attribute of the packets to obtain an application attribute table index of the packets. A bandwidth profile table is then searched according to both the host attribute table index and the application attribute table index of the packets to obtain a bandwidth profile of the packets. Finally, the packets are limited to a specific bandwidth according to the bandwidth profile of the packets.
