514 14, 514 15, 424405, 422 28, 530327, 530328

Abstract:

This invention provides a novel anti-microbial system suitable for formulation in a wide variety of ophthalmic solutions. In particular the composition comprises an antimicrobial peptide that is an indolicidin and a buffer compatible with application to a mammalian eye, wherein the buffer is a Goods buffer or the buffer has a halide ion concentration less than 0. 85 wt %. The compositions are useful for storing, cleaning, or disinfecting a contact lens. In particular the compositions are self-preserving upon lengthy storage, effective in cleaning and sterilizing contact lenses upon exposure of the lens to the composition, do not require the need for physical or thermal treatment of the lens and enable the immediate application of the lens to the eye without the need for neutralization, deactivation or washing.

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for performing classification in a hierarchical classification system performing caching are described. In one embodiment, the method comprises walking a classification tree in the hierarchical classification system to determine whether an incoming flow matches a class in the classification tree, and performing a lookup on a cache storing a data structure of multiple classes of one classification type to compare the incoming flow with multiple classes at the same time to determine whether the incoming flow matches one of the classes.

Appl. No.:

10/140351

Inventors:

Jon Eric Okholm - San Jose CA, US
Saurabh Aggarwal - Sunnyvale CA, US
Michael J. Quinn - Campbell CA, US

Assignee:

Packeteer, Inc. - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

H04L 12/26

US Classification:

370231, 370412

Abstract:

Packet flow rate control techniques are enhanced by the interactive and early invocation of packet queuing to control short flows of packets and to eliminate undershoot and overshoot of a targeted flow rate. Packet queuing involves the scheduled release of packets in accordance with flow policies (priorities) to achieve a preselected outgoing target flow rate. The combination of controlled packet queuing and packet flow rate control with appropriate mechanisms for favoring one over the other improves the efficiency of data transmission.

H04J 3/16

US Classification:

709228, 709231, 709232, 709234

Abstract:

A system and method for dynamically controlling aggregate and individual packet flow characteristics within a compressed logical data tunnel. A logical data tunnel is formed and includes one or more packet flows. Each packet flow includes individual packets having a shared destination address. Bandwidth allocated to control an aggregated flow of packets routed through the logical data tunnel. A transfer rate is assigned to control each packet flow transiting within the logical data tunnel.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709201, 709203, 709206, 709207

Abstract:

Flow-aware task distribution in network devices having multiple processor architectures. In one embodiment, the present invention can be used for high bandwidth network processing in an application and flow aware Quality of Service (QoS) network device. In some implementations, the present invention provides a task distribution architecture capable of flow state awareness and link level QoS control. In some implementations, the present invention can incorporate one or more processes, such as flow distributors and device distributors, that route packets for processing among different processing units on the basis flow correspondence and/or link or network path attributes. The flow and device distributors, in one implementation, allow for the separation and paralletization of packet processing functionality into flow-specific and link-specific processing units, allowing for a highly-scalable, flow-aware task distribution in a network device that processes network application traffic.
