  • IP multi-homing
    Publication number: 20050018600
    Abstract: A method and system for providing a customer network with high speed access to a carrier network is provided. The system comprises an access device for providing a communication path for the customer network, a first concentrator device that is operable to establish a communication path with the carrier network, and a second concentrator device that is operable to establish a communication path with the carrier network. The access device is operable to receive data traffic from the customer network and to forward the data traffic within the system. The access device and the first concentrator device cooperate to form a first virtual channel for allowing data traffic to flow from the customer network to the carrier network and from the carrier network to the customer network and wherein the first virtual channel is the primary communication channel for the customer network.

  • Ethernet protection system providing fault tolerence for communication lines and interface cards according to classified failure states
    Patent number: 6717909
    Abstract: An Ethernet protection system includes an Ethernet communication device operable to be connected to first and second Ethernet lines forming a parallel connection. The Ethernet communication device is able to select the first Ethernet line and transmit and receive data over the first Ethernet line, and upon detecting a failure in the first Ethernet line, automatically select the second Ethernet line and transmit and receive data over the second Ethernet line.
