  • Wireless mesh routing protocol utilizing hybrid link state algorithms
    Patent number: 7856001
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for exchanging and determining routes in packet-switched mesh networks. Nodes in the mesh networks may be coupled via wireless and fixed-wire links. Routing protocols used to determine routes include link state protocols and hybrids of link state and path vector protocols. Type-Length-Value formats are provided to facilitate state information for nodes in the packet switched network, allowing paths to be re-routed through the mesh networks in real-time.

  • HIGHLY AVAILABLE VIRTUAL STACKING ARCHITECTURE
    Publication number: 20090245137
    Abstract: At least one embodiment of the present invention provides a single High Availability virtual switching architecture that allows for sub convergence times in the event of a switch or switch link failure. In some instances, the High Availability architecture uses an adaptation of an ISIS protocol to leverage separation of topology calculation and propagation of network management configuration to achieve sub-second convergence.
