  • Patent number: 10516598
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for detecting network loops. In some embodiments, a system can identify a network path having multiple hops associated with respective nodes which are configured in a forwarding mode. The system can traverse the network path to identify, for each node from the respective nodes, a respective next hop. Based on the respective next hop for each node, the system can determine whether two or more nodes from the respective nodes have a same respective next hop. When the two or more nodes have the same respective next hop, the system can determine that the network path has a network loop.

  • Patent number: 10516600
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for detecting network loops. In some embodiments, a system can identify a port that is in a blocking state. The blocking state can be for dropping one or more types of packets and preventing the port from forwarding the one or more types of packets. The system can determine a number of packets transmitted through the port by a hardware layer on the system and a number of control packets transmitted through the port by a software layer on the system. The system can determine whether the number of packets is greater than the number of control packets. When the number of packets is greater than the number of control packets, the system can determine that the blocking state has failed to prevent the port from forwarding the one or more types of packets.

  • Patent number: 10505613
    Abstract: A communication system is disclosed in which coordinated multi-point transmissions for a mobile device are carried out in two stages. In the first stage, a central controller obtains Channel State Information (CSI) reports from multiple transmission points, based on which the controller estimates respective data rates for transmissions between each transmission point and the mobile device. The controller determines an active set of transmission points to be associated with the mobile device, and informs the transmission points about the association made. In the second stage, the transmission points included in the active set carry out scheduling for the mobile device independently from each other until the controller updates the active set of transmission points.
