  • Method and system for transport of packet-based datastreams over frame-based transport systems employing physically diverse transmission channels
    Patent number: 7633971
    Abstract: A transport unit is disclosed. On a transmit side, the transport unit includes a payload data unit (PDU) formation unit, a frame formation unit and a scheduler. An input of the scheduler is coupled to the PDU formation unit, and an output of the scheduler is coupled to the frame formation unit. On a receive side, the transport unit includes a distribution unit (which includes a group synchronization unit), a channel resequencing unit (coupled to the group synchronization unit), and a scheduler (coupled to the channel resequencing unit).

  • Method and apparatus for transport of multiple TDM and data clients over multiple variable data rate streams
    Patent number: 7590150
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, computer program products, and systems to transport multiple variable data rate LAN streams and fixed data rate voice streams through a plurality of variable data rate transmission links used as a conduit for transmission of data between each local area network are disclosed. Incoming data streams are placed within payload data units and distributed among the transmission links, which use a framed protocol. While the frame size for each transmission link varies dependent upon the transmission rate of that link, the number of payload data units within each frame remains constant.

  • Remote management interface
    Patent number: 7586950
    Abstract: A system and method for remote management of a network device is disclosed. The system includes a network device controller and a transmit unit coupled to the network device controller. The transmit unit includes a remote management interface queue and a remote management interface. The remote management interface couples the network device controller to the remote management interface queue.

  • Method and apparatus for transport of fractional datastreams over frame-based transport systems
    Patent number: 7408939
    Abstract: A method, system and transport unit to combine and transport multiple variable data rate LAN streams and fixed data rate voice streams through a plurality of transmission links used as a conduit for transmission of data between local area networks are disclosed. Combining both TDM and packetized network traffic into packets for transfer between LANs using a framed protocol for the transfer is further disclosed.
