Patent number: 9036643Abstract: A method for establishing a virtual channel between network devices is disclosed. In the case of a local network device establishing a virtual channel with a remote network device, a virtual channel request message is sent from the local network device to the remote network device. A virtual channel acknowledgement message and a remote capability list are received and a virtual channel resume message and a local capability list are sent. The virtual channel is then enabled. In the case of a remote network device establishing a virtual channel with a local network device, a virtual channel request message is received from a local network device by a remote network device. A virtual channel acknowledgement message and a remote capability list are sent and a virtual channel resume message and a local capability list are received. The virtual channel is then enabled.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2013Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Shiri Kadambi, Shekhar Ambe, Mohan Kalkunte, Sandeep Relan, Allan Christie, Uri Elzur, Martin Lund, Daniel Talayco
