Abstract: Network-units (4) comprising multicast driver devices (3) handle multicast messages efficiently by providing the multicast driver devices (3) with memory nodes (1,2) arranged in rows and/or columns, with a memory node (1,2) comprising a memory element (31-33) for memorizing a state of the memory node (1,2). Large numbers of multicast cells/groups like multicast cells and/or multicast groups can be served advantageously. M×N memory nodes (1,2) are arranged in M rows and N columns, with a memory node (1,2) comprising an engagement line (11), an unavailability line (12) and an identification line (13) per row and a request line (21), an acknowledgement line (22) and a selection line (23) per column. A memory element (31,32) memorizes a state indicating a destination port being used for a multicast cell/group, and a further memory element (33) indicates a state requesting a generation of a multicast copy for a destination port, all according to a rule of exclusiveness.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for automatically generating a visual representation of a resistance network and an equivalent point to point resistance for any set of terminals on the resistance network are provided. With the apparatus and method, a cell layout is input to a resistance/capacitance (RC) extraction tool. The RC extraction tool extracts the RC parasitics from the cell layout and inputs them into a resistance network visualization and analysis tool. From the RC parasitics, a graph data structure representation of the resistance network is generated. The graph data structure of the resistance network may then be reduced using, for example, a single layer series and parallel reduction, all layers series and parallel reduction, layer specific reduction, or the like. Following reduction, if any, a visual representation of the resistance network is generated using the graph data structure. Thereafter, equivalent point to point resistance for any set of terminals on the resistance network may be generated.

Abstract: A method is described for forwarding a data packet within a subnetwork (S) of interconnected cell switching nodes (1,2,3,4), surrounded by edge packet routers (A,B,C,D,E), which are further surrounded and part of a data packet network of routers. Said data packet enters said subnetwork via an ingress edge packet router (B), passes through at least one cell switching node (1), and leaves it via at least one destination egress edge packet router (A,C,D,E). The method includes the steps of associating a destination forwarding tag to said data packet, of deriving a sequence of fixed length cells for further transmission to said at least one cell switching node (1), of dynamically analyzing said destination forwarding tag for elaborating a packet cell forwarding decision applicable to all cells of said sequence, and thereby performing a subsequent transfer action of said all cells, to at least one outgoing link.

Abstract: The method shares available bandwidth on a common link in a communication network among a plurality of data flows which are transmitted via the common link. The method is used by a processor and includes sharing reserved bandwidth included in the available bandwidth among the plurality of data flows, and sharing unreserved bandwidth among the plurality of data flows according to a respective unreserved data packet share which is associated to each one of the plurality of data flows. The unreserved bandwidth is included in the available bandwidth in excess of the reserved bandwidth. The sharing of the unreserved bandwidth includes associating to one of the plurality of data flows a respective adaptable administrative weight and determining the respective unreserved data packet share which is associated to the one data flow as a function of its respective adaptable administrative weight.
