  • Patent number: 7734758
    Abstract: A universal serial bus (USB) remote host control driver includes a connection to a local network, a network protocol stack and a memory for storing network addresses of USB device adapters and USB devices on the network. A USB device adapter has one or more USB ports, a network connection, a network address, and a network protocol stack. Together, the USB remote host control driver and the USB device adapter enable interaction between a network computer and peripheral USB devices on the network.

  • Patent number: 7526533
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for network server recovery maintains an ongoing call by reconstructing its call context from a server-state attribute (SSA) that is generated by a first server, recorded in separate storage and retrieved by a second server in the event that a connection to the first server is interrupted. The SSA encodes call data that can be used to enable a server to maintain the call. The separate storage is preferably associated with a network access server (NAS) that does not itself use the SSA.

  • Patent number: 6931441
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for managing a network having a plurality of network elements, where the network elements are configured to be interconnected to one another. A data structure is maintained that includes information about a link state for each network element in the plurality of network elements. The link state for each network element describes a connection between that network element and at least one other network element designated to be connected to that network element. A management policy is configured for the plurality of network elements by using link state information in the data structure to detect if any of the plurality of network elements are unreachable.
