  • Multicasting method and switch
    Publication number: 20030088694
    Abstract: A method and system is provided for the scheduling of multicast frames in a switching network. In one exemplary embodiment, a destination identifier in an incoming frame to be multicast is used to determine an output port mask via a table lookup. The output port mask is used to determine which selected output ports receive a copy of the incoming frame. The selected output ports are copied to concurrently. Thus an efficient and simple method and system is provided to multicast an incoming frame.

  • Adaptive rate controlled router system and method
    Publication number: 20030058802
    Abstract: Techniques are given for determining the data transmission or sending rates in a router or switch of two or more input queues in one or more input ports sharing an output port, which may optionally include an output queue. The output port receives desired or requested data from each input queue sharing the output port. The output port analyzes this data and sends feedback to each input port so that, if needed, the input port can adjust its transmission or sending rate.
