Filed:

Mar 30, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/095807

Inventors:

Subramanya Kumar - Louisville CO, US
Brandon E. Taylor - Longmont CO, US
Jeffrey W. Allen - Denver CO, US
Anshuman Mishra - Westminster CO, US

Assignee:

Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

726 27, 726 2, 726 26

Abstract:

An approach for managing functionalities within a system generally involves the use of indicators, such as privileges, that are associated with the functionalities. Each functionality is associated with an indicator that is used to determine whether the associated functionality is available for use by an end user. A determination is made that one or more particular functionalities are to be associated with the response because the particular indicator is included in the set of indicators and corresponds to the one or more functionalities. If the system includes functionalities for which indicators are not included in the set of indicators, those functionalities are not reflected in the response. The response is sent so that information regarding the one or more particular functionalities can be displayed via a user interface. In some implementations, an access control mechanism can use privileges for determining functionality availability and privileges for determining user access.

Appl. No.:

11/468615

Inventors:

Michael Sean McGee - Austin TX, US
Jeffrey D. Allen - Atlanta GA, US
Mark C. Stratton - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX

International Classification:

H04L 12/28

US Classification:

3703954

Abstract:

A method and system of network communication receive load balancing. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods comprising determining communication path cost information by a computer system (the computer system coupled to plurality of clients over a network), configuring communications from the plurality of clients to the computer system such that the communications are distributed across a plurality of teamed communication ports (the distribution proportional to communication path cost information associated with each communication port), and receiving message packets distributed across the plurality of teamed communication ports.

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX

International Classification:

H04J 3/14

US Classification:

370216

Abstract:

A method and system of assigning media access control (MAC) addresses across teamed communication ports. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods comprising teaming a plurality of communication ports in a computer system to appear as a single virtual port to an application program (each communication port transmits message packets with any of a number M possible MAC addresses, wherein the number communication ports is greater than M), assigning a set of size M of MAC addresses to each of the plurality communication ports such that each MAC address appears in the set for a communication port for which the MAC address is the primary address (and such that each MAC address appears in M−1 other sets for other communication ports), and receiving a message packet from a client device across a network, the message packet directed to a primary MAC address of the first of the plurality communication ports.

US Classification:

370254

Abstract:

A method and system of implementing virtual local area networks (VLANs) with teamed communication ports. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods comprising teaming a plurality of communication ports to form a single virtual communication port (the single virtual port comprising a first set of ports and a second set of ports), sending messages belonging to a first virtual local area network (VLAN) exclusively over the first set of ports from a first device to a second device, and sending messages belonging to a second VLAN exclusively over the second set of ports from the first device to the second device.

Assignee:

Oracle America, Inc. - Redwood City CA

International Classification:

G06F 9/44
G06F 3/00
G06F 3/048

US Classification:

717113, 717110, 715760, 715762, 715763

Abstract:

An output processor for transforming the output produced by a functional component into different forms that can be consumed and presented by different types of clients is disclosed. With this output processor, a functional component is allowed to produce a single set of output that is not targeted at any particular type of client. The output processor then determines which type of client is requesting the output, and transforms the output into a form that can be consumed and presented by that type of client. By performing this transformation, the output processor allows the implementation of the functional component to be decoupled from the client that is requesting output from the functional component. This decoupling in turn enables the amount of effort needed to develop and maintain functional components in a large scale program to be significantly reduced.
