Patent number: 9282058Abstract: A stackable device having a plurality of data ports, wherein each of the data ports is capable of operating as a regular data port or a stacking port. A first set of one or more of the data ports is specified as a first flexible stacking port, and a second set of one or more of the data ports is specified as a second flexible stacking port. Each flexible stacking port can be individually configured to operate as an actual stacking port, if required by the configuration of an associated stack. If a flexible stacking port is not configured to operate as an actual stacking port, then the data port(s) included in the flexible stacking port are available to operate as regular data port(s).Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2013Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Kwun-Nan Lin, Bipin Agarwal, Marc Lavine, Rajshekhar Murtinty

Publication number: 20140304046Abstract: A platform for universal recognition (UR) is described. A consumer has one or more UR numbers, each of which is uniquely recognizable within the UR platform. During a transaction with a merchant, the consumer uses a non-payment token that presents a UR number or uses a payment token that presents a payment number associated with a UR number. A membership identifier used to recognize the consumer within a membership program of the merchant is retrieved and routed to the merchant. Each UR number begins with a six-digit Issuer Identification Number (IIN) which identifies the UR platform from which the UR number was issued.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2013Publication date: October 9, 2014Applicant: One Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Moscoe, Sacha Diab, Marc Lavine, Michael Anthony Eubanks

Patent number: 8782182Abstract: An approach to generating device-specific configurations is described. In one approach, a method of generating a device-specific configuration for a target device is described. The method involves receiving a configuration parameter, and receiving command syntax information. A state description is generated from the configuration parameter, with reference to a configuration library. Device information is retrieved from the target device, and the device-specific configuration is generated with reference to the command syntax information, the device information, the state description, and a command library.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2008Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Foundry Networks, LLCInventors: Animesh Chaturvedi, Manan Shah, Marc Lavine, Ron Lau

Patent number: 8650295Abstract: Technology for network security is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of managing network security includes receiving sampled packets. The sampled packets represent packets being sampled from network packet traffic in at least one location in a network. The sampled packets are converted into an appropriate format for analysis to form converted packets. Moreover, the converted packets are sent to a first group including at least one security device for analysis. If an event message is generated by the at least one security device as a result of analysis of the converted packets, the event message is received from the at least one security device. Network security is evaluated based on the event message and security policies and is adjusted based on that evaluation. The method may be implemented with a network manager.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2012Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: Foundry Networks, LLCInventors: Animesh Chaturvedi, Marc Lavine, Manan Shah, Ron Lau
