Patent number: 9497126Abstract: A communication device includes a packet-length table, a transmitter, a receiver, and a table update unit. The packet-length table stores, in association with an identifier of a network, a length of a packet to be transmitted to a device belonging to the network. The transmitter obtains a length of a packet associated with a network to which a destination device belongs, and transmits a packet whose length is equal to or less than the obtained length of a packet. The receiver receives a message when a length of the packet transmitted to the destination device is greater than a length of a packet that is able to be transmitted to a network included in a route leading to the destination device. The message indicates a maximum packet length. The table update unit updates a packet length associated with a network including the destination device to the maximum packet length.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2013Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventor: Naoki Matsuhira

Patent number: 9450780Abstract: Methods, apparatus and systems for improved performance and energy efficiency of software-based routers. A software router running on a host computer system employing multiple Network Interface Controllers (NICs) maintains a routing table wherein packet flows are classified as managed flows (MFs) under which packets are received at and forwarded from the same NIC and unmanaged flows UFs under which packets are received at and forwarded from different NICs. Forwarding table data is employed by a NIC to facilitate packet identification and flow classification operations under which the NIC determines whether a received packet is an MF, UF, or an unclassified flow. Under various schemes, packet forwarding for MFs is handled by the software router architecture such that either only the packet header is copied into memory in the host or the entire packet forwarding is handled by the NIC.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2012Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Ren Wang, Jr-Shian Tsai, Maziar H.

Patent number: 9444676Abstract: A method is implemented by a network device in a network having a plurality of nodes. The method computes a remote loop free alternative (RLFA) next hop as a backup for a primary path next hop.
