Abstract: A network processor controls packet traffic in a network by maintaining a count of pending packets. In the network processor, a pipe identifier (ID) is assigned to each of a number of paths connecting a packet output to respective network interfaces receiving those packets. A corresponding pipe ID is attached to each packet as it is transmitted. A counter employs the pipe ID to maintain a count of packets to be transmitted by a network interface. As a result, the network processor manages traffic on a per-pipe ID basis to ensure that traffic thresholds are not exceeded.

Abstract: A data communication apparatus includes a router, first and second packet producers, and a penalizer. The router is directly connected to the first and second producers. The penalizer assesses penalties against each producer whenever that producer is serviced. The penalty value depends at least in part on an expected extent to which the first producer requires service. The penalizer then accumulates penalties against each producer.

Abstract: A switching system having a number of nodes interfacing with external network elements and interconnected through independent switches is disclosed. The network may serve as a large-scale data center or a geographically distributed network. The nodes are arranged into a number of formations. Within each formation, the nodes are divided into a number of disjoint sets of nodes. The nodes of each set of nodes are interconnected through a respective switch and are selected so that each set of nodes of any formation is orthogonal to each set of nodes of each other formation. With such a structure, each node has a set of routes to each other node, each route of which traversing at most two switches. The switching system may grow in both capacity and coverage without disturbing an already installed configuration. A switching system of an access capacity of multiple petabits/sec and large coverage is thus realizable.

Abstract: The network node of a cellular network assigns a first part of a shared radio resource to a first User Equipment, UE, for uplink transmissions in the cell, and instructs the first UE to apply a first UE-specific Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request, HARQ, process for transmitting on the assigned first part.

The network node then receives data transmitted from the first UE on the assigned first part based on the first HARQ process and data transmitted from the second UE on the assigned second part based on the second HARQ process.
