Patent number: 8897139Abstract: A network, network devices, and methods are described for packet processing indication. A method includes tunneling a packet from a first network device to a second network device associated with a first checking functionality. The second network device has an address different than an original destination address of the packet. The method also includes return-tunneling the packet from the second network device to the first network device with an indication of whether the packet was processed by the first checking functionality. The method includes tunneling the packet from the first network device to a third network device associated with a second checking functionality in response to the indication being that the packet was not processed by the first checking functionality. The third network device has an address different from the original destination address of the packet.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2008Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Mark Gooch, Steven G. Jorgensen, Bruce E. LaVigne

Patent number: 8611351Abstract: A network, network devices, and methods are described for marked packet forwarding. A network device includes a network chip having a number of network ports for receiving and transmitting packets. The network chip includes logic to decapsulate a packet received from a tunnel, mark the packet with a handle associated with an originating network device of the packet using information from an encapsulation header, and forward the marked packet to a checking functionality having a destination address different from an original destination address of the packet.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2011Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Mark Gooch, Bruce E. LaVigne, Alan R. Albrecht, Steven G. Jorgensen

Patent number: 8130756Abstract: A network, network devices, and methods are described for packet processing. A method includes using logic on a first network device to select a checking functionality based on a number of criteria. The method uses logic on the first network device to select the checking functionality from a list of checking functionalities. The checking functionality is selected for processing packets identified by the first network device. The method also includes using logic on the first network device to configure a tunnel initiation to tunnel packets to a second network device that is associated with the selected checking functionality. The second network device has a destination address different from an original destination address of identified packets.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2007Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Steven G. Jorgensen, Alan R. Albrecht, Bruce E. LaVigne, Mark Gooch

Publication number: 20120008505Abstract: Network devices, systems, and methods are provided for packet processing. One network device includes a network chip having a number of network ports for the device. The network chip includes logic to select original data packets, based on a set of criteria, received from or destined to a particular port on the device and to tunnel the selected data packets to a second network device having a different destination address to that of the selected data packets.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2011Publication date: January 12, 2012Inventors: Bruce E. LaVigne, Mark Gooch, Alan R. Albrecht, Mauricio Sanchez, Steven G. Jorgensen
