Publication number: 20210042251Abstract: A network element includes one or more ports for communicating over a network, a processor and packet processing hardware. The packet processing hardware is configured to transfer packets to and from the ports, and further includes data-transfer circuitry for data transfer with the processor. The processor and the data-transfer circuitry are configured to transfer between one another (i) one or more communication packets for transferal between the ports and the processor and (ii) one or more databases for transferal between the packet processing hardware and the processor, by (i) translating, by the processor, the transferal of both the communication packets and the databases into work elements, and posting the work elements on one or more work queues in a memory of the processor, and (ii) using the data-transfer circuitry, executing the work elements so as to transfer both the communication packets and the databases.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2019Publication date: February 11, 2021Inventors: Lion Levi, Aviv Kfir, Idan Matari, Ran Shani, Zachy Haramaty, Nir Monovich, Matty Kadosh

Publication number: 20200371708Abstract: A network element including buffer address control circuitry for reading a given entry from a queue in a memory of a device external to the network element, the queue having at least a first entry and a last entry, the given entry including a destination address in the memory, output circuitry for writing data included in a packet received from external to the network element to the destination address in the memory in accordance with the given entry, and next entry assignment circuitry for assigning a next entry by: when the given entry is other than the last entry in the first queue, assigning the next entry to be an entry in the first queue after the given entry, and when the given entry is the last entry in the first queue, assigning the next entry to be the first entry in the first queue. Related apparatus and methods are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2019Publication date: November 26, 2020Inventors: Karin Karmani, Lion Levi, Zachy Haramaty, Ran Shani

Patent number: 9667441Abstract: A method of communications at an encapsulating bridge includes receiving a packet having an unencapsulated-DA (destination address) and an associated encapsulation identifier. The unencapsulated-DA and the associated encapsulation identifier are used to determine a TxPort-unencapsulated network (unencapsulated network side transmit port) or an encapsulated-DA for the packet. This method reduces latency of processing by reducing lookups, thereby also increasing transmission bandwidth of the communications network. The invention also facilitates embodiments with reduced memory and processing requirements, as compared to conventional implementations. This method is particularly useful for MAC-in-MAC encapsulation.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2013Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: MELLANOX TECHNOLOGIES LTD.Inventors: Zachy Haramaty, Ran Shani, Oded Wertheim

Patent number: 9459758Abstract: A method includes presenting, on a display coupled to a computer, an image of a keyboard comprising multiple keys, and receiving a sequence of three-dimensional (3D) maps including a hand of a user positioned in proximity to the display. An initial portion of the sequence of 3D maps is processed to detect a transverse gesture performed by a hand of a user positioned in proximity to the display, and a cursor is presented on the display at a position indicated by the transverse gesture. While presenting the cursor in proximity to the one of the multiple keys, one of the multiple keys is selected upon detecting a grab gesture followed by a pull gesture followed by a release gesture in a subsequent portion of the sequence of 3D maps.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2013Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Adi Berenson, Micha Galor, Jonathan Pokrass, Ran Shani, Daniel Shein, Eran Weissenstern, Martin Frey, Amir Hoffnung, Nili Metuki

Patent number: 9377865Abstract: A method includes arranging, by a computer, multiple interactive objects as a hierarchical data structure, each node of the hierarchical data structure associated with a respective one of the multiple interactive objects, and presenting, on a display coupled to the computer, a first subset of the multiple interactive objects that are associated with one or more child nodes of one of the multiple interactive objects. A sequence of three-dimensional (3D) maps including at least part of a hand of a user positioned in proximity to the display is received, and the hand performing a transverse gesture followed by a grab gesture followed by a longitudinal gesture followed by an execute gesture is identified in the sequence of three-dimensional (3D) maps, and an operation associated with the selected object is accordingly performed.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2013Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Adi Berenson, Dana Cohen, Micha Galor, Jonathan Pokrass, Ran Shani, Daniel Shein, Orlee Tal, Arnon Yaari, Eran Weissenstern, Martin Frey, Amir Hoffnung, Nili Metuki, Marcus Hauer

Patent number: 8908704Abstract: Communication apparatus includes a switch, which includes switching logic, multiple ports for connection to a network, and a management port, and which is configured to assign both a first link-layer address and a second link-layer address to the management port. A host processor includes a memory and a central processing unit (CPU), which is configured to run software implementing a management agent for managing functions of the switch. A network interface controller (NIC) is connected to the management port and is configured to convey incoming management packets, which are directed by the switch to the first link-layer address, to the CPU for processing by the management agent, and to write directly to the memory data contained in incoming remote direct memory access (RDMA) packets, which are directed by the switch to the second link-layer address.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2013Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Mellanox Technologies Ltd.Inventors: Benny Koren, Carlos Nemerovsky, Ran Shani, Ido Bukspan
