Abstract: A SoftRouter architecture deconstructs routers by separating the control entities of a router from its forwarding components, enabling dynamic binding between them. In the SoftRouter architecture, control plane functions are aggregated and implemented on a few smart servers which control forwarding elements that are multiple network hops away. A dynamic binding protocol performs network-wide control plane failovers. Network stability is improved by aggregating and remotely hosting routing protocols, such as OSPF and BGP. This results in faster convergence, lower protocol messages processed, and fewer route changes following a failure. The SoftRouter architecture includes a few smart control entities that manage a large number of forwarding elements to provide greater support for network-wide control. In the SoftRouter architecture, routing protocols operate remotely at a control element and control one or more forwarding elements by downloading the forwarding tables, etc. into the forwarding elements.

Abstract: A method of allocating upstream bandwidth in a passive optical access network includes associating a first timer to a first upstream traffic flow and associating a second timer to a second upstream traffic flow. During a given frame period, if the first timer is at its expiration value and the second timer is not at its expiration value, then a first portion of the upstream bandwidth is allocated to the first upstream traffic flow. If a second portion of the upstream bandwidth is left, at least part of that second portion is allocated to the second upstream traffic flow before the second timer expires. If the first and second timers have not expired, then at least part of the upstream bandwidth is allocated to at least one of the first and second upstream traffic flows.

Abstract: A technique controls a network switch having a set of ports. The technique involves configuring the network switch to provide an initial set of communications paths between the ports. The initial set of communications paths defines an initial communications path topology within the network switch.

The technique further involves reconfiguring the network switch to provide a new set of communications paths between the ports in response to the configuration command. The new set of communications paths (i) defines a new communications path topology within the network switch, the new communications path topology being different than the initial communications path topology, and (ii) supports the particular operating mode of the data storage system.
