    摘要: A method for automatically assigning individual topological addresses to network switches includes obtaining first individual topological addresses each of which includes one identifier of a hierarchical level and N−1 non-hierarchical identifier(s) of the network switch with which it is associated, N≥2. It further includes the transcoding of each first individual topological address by subdividing the N−1 non-hierarchical switch identifier(s) as a function of a value of the hierarchical level identifier into one or more sub-topology identifiers separated from one another by at least one first separator character, forming a first character string, and into one or more switch identifier(s) separated from one another by at least one second separator character, forming a second character string. A second hierarchical individual topological address is thus constituted by concatenation including the first and second character strings, as well as a third separator character therebetween.

    摘要: An electronic switching system for generating correlation identify (ID) with respect to a client in order to thereby establish, integrate and communicate to a server (lean server or nano server) within a cloud environment (e.g. Inswit™ Cloud). A service location identification module for identifying and generating a service location identity with respect to a remote client. A source ID generating module for generating a correlation ID/source ID based on the service location identify in order to serialize the payload and establish a connection with the server. The electronic switching system proposed herein operates external to the cloud environment by effectively generating the correlation identity with respect to a client device accessing the server in a cloud environment. The system also switches, integrates and executes client communications to an appropriate server in the cloud environment using the correlation ID.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to apparatuses and methods for providing network addressability for one or more logical entities associated with a communication interface of a tangible device in a network. In one aspect of the present disclosure, a media access control address of a communication interface is converted to an Internet Protocol address for a logical entity associated with the communication interface. When the apparatuses and methods of the present disclosure receive a communication signal including the converted Internet protocol address, the communication signal is provided to the logical entity associated with the Internet protocol address. In another aspect of the present disclosure, a user input received at a communication interface is mapped to an Internet protocol address to send a request to a logical entity.

    摘要: An apparatus, computer readable medium, and method for overlapping basic service set (OBSS) indication in a high-efficiency wireless local-area network (HEW). An apparatus of a high-efficiency wireless local-area network device is disclosed. The apparatus including transceiver circuitry and processing circuitry configured to receive a frame and determine whether the frame is a frame transmitted from a basic service set (BSS) or a frame transmitted from an OBSS based on one or more media access control (MAC) addresses of the frame. The MAC address may include an indication of a BSS of the HE wireless device. If the HE wireless device is an access point, then a second part of the MAC address may be a predetermined pattern, the second part of the MAC address may be a formula applied to a first part of the MAC address, or an individual/group bit of the MAC address may be set.
