  • Method and apparatus for managing network traffic
    Patent number: 8713197
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for managing the flow of data on a network. A plurality of processors are used to implement a virtual queue, for controlling a rate of flow of data on the network. Each of the processors has a member queue, the combination of member queues combining to form the virtual queue. Aspects of the invention use messages to communicate among the processors, to properly control the rate of flow.

  • Method and system for a weighted allocation table
    Patent number: 7355977
    Abstract: A method and system for creating and maintaining an allocation table that associates allocation buckets with corresponding target identifiers. Each target identifier has a corresponding weighting value. The allocation table has a number of allocation buckets, each associated with a target identifier. When one or more weighting values change, one or more buckets are reassigned to different target identifiers. A number of factors are considered in determining whether to delay modification of the allocation table, in order to further reduce disruption. The allocation table may be used to distribute packets among network devices, or more generally, to route packets along paths in a network.
