US Classification:

370509, 370352, 370389, 370511, 370503, 709223

Abstract:

A method of synchronizing the information held in a switching database associated with a switching function of a data switching node, with a data network node identifier record associated with a management processor enabling a managed mode thereof is provided. An entry of the switching database is modified. A status specifier corresponding to the modified entry is set to signify the modification thereof. An inspection of the switching database is initiated on the expiration of an adjustable timer, and the information held in modified switching database entries is synchronized with the data network node identifier record. This method of synchronization of the information held in the switching database spreads out of burst changes thereof over time. The advantages are derived from the use of a more economical management processor while providing the same or enhanced levels of service of the data switching node.

International Classification:

H04L 12/28

US Classification:

370389, 370392, 37039542

Abstract:

A packet switching node in a pipelined architecture processing packets received via an input port associated with the packet switching node performs a method, which includes: determining a packet frame type; selectively extracting packet header field values specific to a packet frame type, including packet addressing information; ascribing to the packet a preliminary action to be performed; searching packet switching information tracked by the packet switching node based on extracted packet addressing information; formulating a preliminary switch response for the packet; classifying the packet into a packet flow; modifying the preliminary switch response in accordance with one of the preliminary action, the packet flow into which the packet was classified, and a default port action corresponding to the input port; modifying the packet header in accordance with one of the preliminary action, the packet flow, and the default port action; and processing the packet.

International Classification:

G06F 7/04

US Classification:

726 3, 726 2, 380247, 380248, 380249, 380250, 709225

Abstract:

An apparatus and methods for securely forwarding data packets at a data switching node in a data transport network is provided. The data switching node maintains a switching database of switching entries. Each switching entry has a modification protection feature preventing its modification when activated. Dynamic topology discovery of data network nodes can be disabled via topology discovery control flags associated with individual physical communications ports of the data switching node. Unknown destination flood data traffic is not replicated to physical communications ports having topology discovery disabled or specifying the suppression of replication of such unknown destination data traffic thereto. The advantages are derived from a data switching node being enabled to operate concurrently in friendly and hostile environments while detecting, preventing and reporting incidences of hostile MAC ADDR attacks.

International Classification:

H04J001/16

US Classification:

370/230000, 370/235000

Abstract:

A method of forwarding payload data units in a virtual networking environment is presented. The method enables a data switching node to separate public access data traffic from private access data traffic. The method further assigns a predefined level of service to public access data traffic. The advantages lie in enabling a multi-port data network node to convey both public and private data traffic with assistance from management software. Improperly configured network devices connected to public access points, whether intentionally or unintentionally, are prevented from affecting data transport performance of the data networking environment in which they participate.

US Classification:

709247, 709245

Abstract:

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for storing and searching computer node addresses in a computer network system. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a frame forwarding device such as a switch. The switch includes two MAC address tables including a primary MAC address table and secondary MAC address table both for storing and searching MAC addresses. The primary table stores records that contain compressed values of MAC addresses. The records are contained in storage locations that are referenced using the compressed value of the MAC address as a search index. In order to account for searching collisions that may result from different MAC addresses compressing to the same value, each record in the primary address table is linked to a chain of records in the secondary table. The records in the secondary table store the full value of the MAC address. Each chain of records in the secondary address table contains MAC addresses the present invention.

Abstract:

A foldable two seat face-to-face tandem baby carriage includes a pair of wheeled front legs, a pair of wheeled rear legs, and, two pairs of horizontal longitudinal bars extending between the legs. A U-shaped push handle connects pivotally with the rear of the upper bars, and the free ends of the push handle substantially abut the rear legs about midway along the length. Locking means interengage the push handle with the legs in the extended position and bars in the horizontal position to provide a tandem seating construction with seats and backrests facing each other. Folding is effected when the backrests are parallel and an additional locking slot is provided in a support for anchoring the forward backrest in the parallel position. Release of the lock by foot pressure on a transverse bar extending between the rear legs causes the push handle to move downwardly and forwardly and the two legs to collapse and fold towards each other to be substantially parallel with the push handle in the folded position. The two sets of parallel longitudinal bars collapse to be substantially parallel and towards each other in the folded position.
