Patent number: 7227861Abstract: Packets input from input HWs #0 to #3 to a packet switch device are buried in time slots A through D. The packet switch device alternately switches the input packets in units of time slots, and inputs the packets to two 4×4 switches. The 4×4 switches make normal switching, and distribute the packets to respective output ports. Then, the packets output from the two 4×4 switches after being switched are alternately multiplexed, and output to output HWs #0 through #3. By making switching in units of packets as described above, a process overhead is prevented from being increased, and also expansion can be easily made. Besides, hardware scale can be made small.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2001Date of Patent: June 5, 2007Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Hiroshi Tomonaga, Masakatsu Nagata, Kenichi Kawarai, Naoki Matsuoka, Kenichi Okabe, Shiro Uriu

Patent number: 6789176Abstract: In a common buffering device with a simple arrangement, a write address can be efficiently released from a buffer memory upon receipt of a multi-address call. For an ATM cell which is to be transmitted to a specific line, a write address is set in a common buffer memory, and the ATM cell is written at the write address. The ATM cell is read from an address which corresponds to the write address, and is transmitted to the specific line. Then, the pertinent write address is released. In a write table are entered a plurality of multi-address lines across which an ATM cell written at a specific address in the common buffering device can be multicast. Each time the ATM cell is read from the specific address, a designation line for transmission of an ATM cell in a read control table is compared with the multi-address lines set in the write control table. When the lines match, the write address for the ATM cell, which is set in the write control table, is released.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 1999Date of Patent: September 7, 2004Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Shiro Uriu, Masanobu Furukoshi, Tetsuaki Wakabayashi, Kazumasa Sonoda
