  • Virtual private LAN service using a multicast protocol
    Patent number: 7339929
    Abstract: A method for data broadcast over a network includes receiving at a virtual bridge a data packet to be flooded over the network, and passing the data packet from the virtual bridge to a multicast-capable router, along with a broadcast indication. Responsive to the broadcast indication, the router determines a group of destination addresses to which the packet should be multicast, and creates copies of the packet for transmission over the network to the destination addresses in the group.
    Type: Grant

  • Bandwidth allocation for link aggregation
    Patent number: 7336605
    Abstract: A method for establishing a connection with a guaranteed bandwidth for transmitting data over a logical link that includes a plurality of parallel physical links between first and second endpoints. A link bandwidth is allocated on each of the physical communication links so as to include a predefined safety margin, based on either a failure protection policy, or a measure of fluctuation that occurs in a rate of data transmission over the physical links, or both. A sum of the allocated link bandwidth over the plurality of the parallel physical links is substantially greater than the guaranteed bandwidth of the connection. The data are conveyed over the logical link by distributing the data for transmission among the physical links in accordance with the allocated link bandwidth.
