20070076709, Apr 5, 2007

Filed:

Jun 30, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/479122

Inventors:

Geoffrey Mattson - San Jose CA, US
Philip Yim - Petaluma CA, US
Eu-Jin Lim - San Jose CA, US

International Classification:

H04L 12/56

US Classification:

370389000

Abstract:

A method of processing traffic in a Virtual Private LAN service includes replacing a MAC address from a packet with a realm specific Virtual Private Network address. The packet with the realm specific Virtual Private Network address is then processed.

Appl. No.:

13/625771

Inventors:

Geoffrey Andrew Mattson - San Francisco CA, US

Assignee:

Futurewei Technologies, Inc. - Plano TX

International Classification:

H04L 12/56

US Classification:

370392

Abstract:

A packet preprocessing device is used in conjunction with a non-programmable packet forwarding processor (NLFP) to apply a different system function to received data packets than the function normally applied by the NLFP on the packets. Received data packets are pre-processed (e.g., modifying, manipulating, altering, spoofing, etc.) in order to enable, or cause, NLFPs that process the data packets to provide, in effect, a system-level behavior on the packets that is different from the system-level behavior for which the NLFP is/was conventionally designed. The data packet is “pre-processed” to change or manipulate the data packet, and then the NLFP processes the pre-processed data packet in accordance with its conventional function(s) which alters the overall function applied to the data packet.

Inventors:

Geoffrey Mattson - San Francisco CA, US

Assignee:

Futurewei Technologies, Inc. - Plano TX

International Classification:

H04L 12/56

US Classification:

370392

Abstract:

A hybrid data center switching system includes a first switching device, a routing/switching device, a core switching device and communication links. The first switching device has a plurality of external packet interfaces and a plurality of external fabric interfaces. The external packet interfaces are configured to receive and transmit data packets in accordance with a standards-based packet protocol. The external fabric interfaces are configured to receive and transmit data packets in accordance with a fabric protocol. The routing/switching device is coupled to the plurality of external packet interfaces via a first communications link. The core switching device has a packet interface and a fabric interface. The packet interface is coupled to the routing/switching device via a second communications link. A third communications link between the external fabric interfaces and the fabric interface of the core switching device is operable for transporting data packets in accordance with the fabric protocol.

International Classification:

G06F 9/46
H04L 29/08
H04L 12/46

Abstract:

A Multi-site Integrated Session-oriented Transaction (MIST) computing system includes a MIST mapper configured to process a compiled distributed compute session request to determine, for each of at least one remote sets of data, whether to process the remote set of data with one of one or more field nodes or with a cloud node based on a cost of transporting the remote set of data from the proximate field node to the cloud node. In response to determining to process the remote set of data with the cloud node, the MIST mapper is configured to output a data retrieval request to the proximate field node. In response to determining to process the remote set of data with the field node, the MIST mapper is configured to output the computation request to the proximate field node.
