  • Patent number: 8582580
    Abstract: A system and method are supplied to provide multiple private networks. The system can include a Provider Backbone Bridge Traffic Engineering (PBB/TE) interface or interfaces configured to receive a plurality of data stream types each associated with an Instance Service Identifier (I-SID) from a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) or public carrier Ethernet. A plurality of local area network (LAN) ports can be configured to communicate data to a plurality of LANs. A switching process is provided between the PBB/TE interface and the LAN ports. The switching process can be configured to bind individual data stream types from subdivided data streams each represented by an I-SID to each of the respective LAN ports.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7843944
    Abstract: A system and method are supplied to provide multiple private networks. The system can include an Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) interface configured to receive a plurality of data stream types from a packet switched network. A plurality of local area network ports can be configured to communicate data to local area networks. A switching process can be provided between the MPLS interface and the local area network ports. The switching process can be configured to map individual data stream types from the MPLS interface to each of the respective local area network ports. In addition, the switching process can communicate packets between the MPLS interface and the mapped local area network ports.

  • Publication number: 20080159298
    Abstract: A system and method are supplied to provide multiple private networks. The system can include an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) interface configured to receive a plurality of data stream types from a cell switched network. A plurality of local area network ports can be configured to communicate data to local area networks. A switching process can be provided between the ATM interface and the local area network ports. The switching process can be configured to map individual data stream types from the ATM interface to each of the respective local area network ports. In addition, the switching process can communicate packets between the ATM interface and the mapped local area network ports.

  • Patent number: 3971562
    Abstract: A target game comprising a rollable sheet member having a surface and at least one edge adapted to be removably supportive from a support means is disclosed. The target game further includes indicia means on the surface of the sheet member, having target aperture means therein associated with the indicia means. The target aperture means are adapted to accommodate a target displayed in the context of the indicia means.
