Appl. No.:

09/398652

Inventors:

William A. Samaras - San Jose CA
Paul T. Phillips - Carmel CA
Michael P. Brownell - Los Gatos CA

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

H05K 332

US Classification:

Abstract:

A method of assembling a multi-chip device may include coupling solder balls only to selected ones of the conductive pads on an interposer with cache memory devices. The cache memory devices are then tested, and the interposer is coupled to a substrate with the solder balls for further assembly only if the test is passed.

Assignee:

Sun Microsystems, Inc - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06F 12/00

US Classification:

711154, 711100, 365221

Abstract:

In one general aspect, a stream-based memory circuit is disclosed that includes physical storage elements and at least a first physical access port. A stream-based access controller is operatively connected to the physical storage elements and to the access port. The controller includes function-specific hardware logic operative to access data as streams in the physical memory in response to stream-based access commands at the access port.

Appl. No.:

10/835794

Michael Banatt - Cambridge MA, US

Assignee:

Sun Microsystems - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

H04L 29/00

US Classification:

726 11

Abstract:

Methods and systems for load balancing a plurality of entities, such as firewalls, in a network environment are disclosed. In particular, the load balancing of firewalls on a bidirectional traffic path is performed using a single device that controls both incoming and outgoing traffic through the firewalls. The single device may include virtual routers for controlling the bidirectional traffic through the firewalls. A first virtual router may control incoming traffic to the firewalls and the other virtual router may control outgoing traffic to the firewalls. The virtual routers are logical partitions of the device layered on the physical resources of the device. The virtual routers share all or portions of the physical resources of the single device.

International Classification:

H04L 9/32

US Classification:

726 2, 713153, 711206

Abstract:

A single management facility in a virtualized system that facilitates the presentation of either a virtual element view or system view to a network management user depending upon the user's access rights is disclosed. The view presented to the user is modified based on the scope and type of access rights, which are found in a profile object, that is stored in an environmental object, established during the user login. Each virtualized element in the system includes management information that is associated with the virtual element via a virtual identifier. The management information indicates the level of the user access rights necessary to view the associated virtual element. Requests by a user to access management information associated with a virtual element are analyzed to determine if the access rights specified in the user profile enable the user to access the information associated with the virtual element.

Assignee:

Genband US LLC - Plano TX

International Classification:

H04L 12/28

US Classification:

370256, 709239

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for utilizing a standard spanning tree protocol to designate an active switching device in a network node are disclosed. In one example, the method includes generating a virtual network topology representation that includes a payload processing device connected to each of a first switching device and a second switching device, transmitting, from each of the first and second switching devices to the payload processing device, a standard spanning tree protocol signaling message that contains the virtual network topology representation and a bridge root priority identifier that has been derived using an algorithm that considers whether the transmitting switching device is a preferred active switching device or a preferred standby switching device, and signaling messages at the payload processing device to select the preferred active switching device as a root bridge of a logical spanning tree based on comparing bridge root priority identifiers.

International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709/230000

Abstract:

In one general aspect, a network communication unit is disclosed that includes connection servicing logic that is responsive to transport-layer headers and is operative to service virtual, error-free network connections. A programmable parser is responsive to the connection servicing logic and is operative to parse application-level information received by the connection servicing logic for at least a first of the connections. Also included is application processing logic that is responsive to the parser and operative to operate on information received through at least the first of the connections based on parsing results from the parser.
