Abstract: Communication apparatus includes a TCAM, which stores a corpus of rules, including respective sets of unmasked and masked bits. The rules conform to respective rule patterns, each defining a different, respective sequence of masked and unmasked bits to which one or more of the rules conform.

Decision logic extracts respective classification keys from data packets, each key including a string of bits extracted from selected fields in a given data packet, and classifies the data packets by first matching the respective classification keys to the cached rule entries in the RAM and, when no match is found in the RAM, by matching the respective classification keys to the rules in the TCAM.

Abstract: Extended DRX (e-DRX) operation using hyper frame extension signaling are described. The hyper frame extension signaling may extend the system frame number (SFN) range while maintaining backward compatibility for legacy devices not configured to use the extended SFN range. The hyper-SFN extension signaling may include an index to a hyper-SFN transmitted as part of system information different than that used for transmission of the SFN. UEs configured to use the hyper-SFN may effectively use a longer or extended SFN range that includes the legacy SFN range and the hyper-SFN range. The hyper-SFN extension may be used in an extended idle DRX (eI-DRX) mode which may coexist with existing I-DRX mode on the same paging resources. Additionally or alternatively, paging may be differentiated for eI-DRX mode UEs using separate paging occasions or a new paging radio network temporary identifier (RNTI).

Abstract: A method of multicasting packets by a forwarding element that includes several packet replicators and several egress pipelines. Each packet replicator receives a data structure associated with a multicast packet that identifies a multicast group. Each packet replicator identifies a first physical egress port of a first egress pipeline for sending the multicast packet to a member of the multicast group. The first physical egress port is a member of LAG. Each packet replicator determines that the first physical egress port is not operational and identifies a second physical port in the LAG for sending the multicast packet to the member of the multicast group. When a packet replicator is connected to the same egress pipeline as the second physical egress, the packet replicator provides the identification of the second physical egress port to the egress pipeline to send the packet to the multicast member. Otherwise the packet replicator drops the packet.

Abstract: The invention relates to a technique for access by a master device (22) to a value. The invention relates to a technique for access by a master device (22) to a value taken by a characteristic managed by a peripheral device (23). A first relay device (21) situated in a zone of radio coverage of the master device receives a command for simulation of the peripheral device, this peripheral device being situated in a zone of radio coverage to a second relay device (24). The first relay device then establishes a radio connection with the master device, by simulating the presence of the peripheral device in the zone of radio coverage of the master device. The first relay device receives from the master device a request to read a value taken by a characteristic managed by the peripheral device, transmits the request and receives in return the value from the second relay device, said second relay device having obtained it by interrogating the peripheral device. It can then dispatch it to the master device.
