  • Method of and system for transferring overhead data over a serial interface
    Patent number: 7889658
    Abstract: A method of and system for transferring overhead data from a sender to a receiver over a serial interface is provided. The overhead data is transferred over one or more data lines of the interface during one or more time periods in which excess bandwidth is available on the one or more data lines or while the transfer of the overhead data does not substantially impede the throughput of the payload transfer.

  • Network interconnect device and protocol for communicating data among packet forwarding devices
    Patent number: 6023471
    Abstract: A network interconnect device and message exchange protocol for forwarding data among packet forwarding devices are provided. According to one aspect of the present invention, data is forwarded between a first and second packet forwarding device coupled to an interconnect device. The interconnect device receives a menu message from the first packet forwarding device that indicates one or more types of data that are awaiting transmission on the first packet forwarding device. Based upon the menu message, the interconnect device transmits an order message selecting a type of data of the one or more types of data awaiting transmission to the first packet forwarding device. The interconnect device receives a message from the first packet forwarding device containing data of the type selected by the order message. The interconnect device then forwards the data to the second packet forwarding device.

  • Protocol for communicating data between packet forwarding devices via an intermediate network interconnect device
    Patent number: 5974467
    Abstract: A message exchange protocol for interconnecting packet forwarding devices through an intermediate network interconnect device is provided. According to one aspect of the present invention, a method is provided for communicating data between packet forwarding devices. The presence of an interconnect device that is coupled between a first packet forwarding device and a second packet forwarding device is detected by recognizing a configuration sequence, for example. After the link between the interconnect device and the first packet forwarding device is established, the first packet forwarding device receives a command from the interconnect device requesting the types of data that are pending on the first packet forwarding device. Responsive to the command, the first packet forwarding device transmits a "menu" including information indicating the availability of one or more types of data that are awaiting transmission to the interconnect device.
