Filed:

Jun 27, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/607790

Inventors:

Neal C. Oliver - Florham Park NJ, US
David Gish - Riverdale NJ, US

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709238, 709223, 709236, 37039542

Abstract:

A method and system for a network node for attachment to switch fabrics is described. The system includes an access unit to provide access to communications from an external network, a classification element to label received packets with information identifying an associated flow and queue, a mapping element to place the packets into one of a plurality of queues based on the label identifiers, a scheduler to schedule packets in the queues for transmission, and an encapsulation element to encapsulate the scheduled packets into uniform size frames. The uniform size frames may then be transmitted to a next destination through a switch fabric.

International Classification:

H04W 4/00
H04W 36/00

US Classification:

370331, 455438, 455442, 455443

Abstract:

Methods and devices are disclosed for communicating in a wireless network using multi-protocol label switching (MPLS). A network service node is configured to send identical packets substantially simultaneously to each of a serving network access station and one or more target network access stations via two or more respective MPLS tunnels in response to a handoff trigger message. Additional embodiments and variations are also disclosed.

International Classification:

H04L012/28

US Classification:

370/395400

Abstract:

A method and system for open-loop congestion control in a system fabric is described. The method includes determining which traffic class each received network packet belongs, determining a path to be taken by each packet through a switch fabric, classifying each packet into one of a plurality of flow bundles based on the packet's destination and path through the switch fabric, mapping each packet into one of a plurality of queues to await transmission based on the flow bundle to which the packet has been classified, and scheduling the packets in the queues for transmission to a next destination through the switch fabric.
