International Classification:

G06F 1750

US Classification:

716 12, 716 1, 716 5, 716 3

Abstract:

An IP package is formed with at least one of one or more components of an IP block and one or more pointers to locations where the components can be retrieved, and machine readable connectivity descriptions describing how the IP block is to be connected to include the IP block in an integrated circuit. In one embodiment, the connectivity descriptions include physical pin, implemented bus signals, handling of unimplemented bus signals, and mapping descriptions. In various embodiments, the IP package may further include one or more selected ones of customizable attribute, UI choice elements, embedded and/or diagnostic software, test vectors, supplemental generators and verification environment configuration requirement descriptions. The self-describing packaging advantageously enables an EDA tool suite to offer and facilitate selection of the IP block for a SOC design.

Abstract:

A network can be organized for providing virtual private network services to customers into two regions. A network core for providing layer transport and an associated number of logical provider edges. Each logical provider edge is partitioned into first and second portions. The first portion provides virtual private network services to customers. The second portion works with the core network to communicate with any other logical provider edge within the network. The first portion designated as the PE-Edge includes a group of functions such as a function for configuring optical Ethernet layer virtual private network service, a function for service labeling, a function for ingress traffic management, and a function for information exchange between local VPN and core VPN. The second portion designated as PE-Core includes a group of functions such as a function for distributing service labels, a function for distributing information on transport tunnels, a function for information exchange between local and core VPN. Within the logical provider edge or Logical PE, the PE-Edge and PE-Core communicate via a layer network.

International Classification:

G06F017/50

US Classification:

716/005000

Abstract:

An EDA tool suite is equipped with the ability to responsively invoke a chain of one or more generators corresponding to one or more phases of a design/verification process to process design information of IP blocks forming a SOC design to transform the design information, as a result of each invocation, from one state to another state. In one embodiment, the phases may be one or more of a design generation phase, a simulation hardware logic generation phase, an embedded/diagnostic software generation phase, and a verification environment configuration script generation phase.

International Classification:

G06F017/50

US Classification:

716/005000

Abstract:

Enhanced Platform Based SOC Design Including Extended Peripheral Selection and Automated IP Customization Facilitation An EDA tool suite is provided to facilitate SOC design in a platform based manner, by first facilitating the selection of a compute engine, then supporting peripheral devices layered upon the compute engine in at least a single peripheral layer. In various embodiments, the EDA tool suite includes pre-processing functions to identify connectivity of an IP component, and automatic creation of a user interface to facilitate provision of customization inputs. The EDA tool suite further includes bus bridges bridging a plurality of bus architecture pairs, and component selection facilities that automatically provides an expanded list of components for selection, including components connectable to a selected compute engine by way of a pre-provided bus bridge, responsive to the selection of the compute engine.

International Classification:

H04L 12/26

US Classification:

3702362, 370392

Abstract:

OAM may be implemented at an intermediate node on a PBT trunk in an Ethernet network by causing OAM frames to be addressed to the PBT trunk endpoint but causing the OAM frames to carry an indicia (Ether-type, OpCode, TLV value or combination of these and other fields) that the OAM frames are intended to be used for intermediate node OAM functions. The Ether-type, OpCode, and TLV values may be standardized values, or vendor specific values such as OpCode=51 or TLV=31 may be used. Addressing the OAM frames to the PBT trunk end point enables the OAM frames to follow the PBT trunk through the network. The OAM indicia signals to the intermediate nodes that the OAM frames are intended to be used to perform an intermediate node OAM function. The OAM frames may contain reverse trunk information to prevent the intermediate nodes from being required to store correlation between forward and reverse PBT trunks.
