  • Patent number: 10333841
    Abstract: Systems and methods for supporting SMA level abstractions at router ports for GRH to LRH mapping tables in a high performance computing environment. Ingress port mapping of GRH to new LRH can be reduced to minimally include DGID to DLID mapping. By further reducing the complexity by assuming all packets received at a subnet are addressed to a correct subnet (and also taking into account that correct subnet destination can be checked independently of the individual mapping entries), the DGID address can be simplified to a DGUID address, allowing for additional mappings within a same memory size.

  • Patent number: 10284381
    Abstract: A master node may be configured with helper nodes in a one-to-many structure in a multicast tree for data streaming. A master node may receive network requests from the helper nodes in order to construct a pingback response. A master node may establish a network latency, for each of the helper nodes according to the pingback responses, to form a broadcast timing index. A master node may create routing tables from the broadcast timing index for local multicast routing at helper nodes within the multicast tree. A master node may send the routing tables from the master node to each of the helper nodes to arrange helper nodes in proximity to one another and create helper tiers within the multi-cast tree. A master node may stream data from the master node to the helper nodes according to a center-to-edge order of the multicast tree based on the routing table.

  • Patent number: 10256878
    Abstract: New wireless networks can perform enhanced beamforming training for a multiple access technique, such as orthogonal frequency division multiple-access (OFDMA). The configurations of the stations and the networks presented herein provide a multiple-station beam refinement protocol (MSBRP) that may be used to train the transmit end and/or the receive end for the stations in a dense wireless local area network (WLAN). The MSBRP can have at least two phases. The first phase concurrently trains the receive side of multiple responder stations from one set of training signals sent from an initiator station. Then, each responder station can send training signals to the initiator station in a set of ordered phases associated with each responder station. The MSBRP eliminates inefficiencies associated with conducting multiple BRPs that include only pairs of stations.

  • Patent number: 10187289
    Abstract: A system includes a provider network and a client network connected via a dedicated physical connection. The client network and the provider network exchange routing information using routing protocol messages, such as border gateway protocol (BGP) update messages exchanged during a BGP session. A provider network includes tag field values in outgoing routing protocol messages that indicate a portion of the provider network wherein resources of the provider network associated with a corresponding route are located. The client network may use the tag field value to determine whether to add the route to a routing table of the client network. A client network may also include tag field values in outgoing routing protocol messages to a provider network. The tag field values may indicate what portions of the provider network are to receive the routes from the client network. For example a tag field value may indicate that a route is to be propagated within a limited portion of the provider network.

  • Patent number: 10135734
    Abstract: Packet processors or other devices with packet processing pipelines may implement pipelined evaluations of algorithmic forwarding route lookups. As network packets are received, a destination address for the network packets may be divided into different possible prefix lengths and corresponding entries in a routing table for the different possible prefix lengths may be determined according to a hash scheme for the routing table. The entry values may be read from the routing table and evaluated at subsequent stages to identify the entry with a longest prefix match with respect to the destination address for the network packet. The routing table may include entries for different types of network packets and may be configured to include virtual routing and forwarding for network packets.
