  • Patent number: 8837458
    Abstract: Network apparatuses, networks, computer program products, and management station operational methods are provided. One aspect of the invention provides a network apparatus including a management station adapted to couple with a network including a plurality of managed devices, the management station being configured to output a plurality of initial commands for application to respective managed devices, the initial commands being configured to stimulate initial responses from the managed devices, the management station being further configured to receive the initial responses, to identify responding ones of the managed devices responsive to the received initial responses, and to provide an asset table containing the identified managed devices.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7317736
    Abstract: A system and method for reliable delivery of datagram protocol data unit (PDU) packets generated by a network oriented application at a first computing network element to a second computing network element across a network. The method steps include: at the first computing network element, capturing generated datagram packets destined for the second computing network element; determining a size of a payload associated with the datagram and communicating the size of the payload to the second computing element via a reliable connection-oriented transport service PDU; communicating the actual payload to the second computing element via the reliable connection-oriented transport service PDU; and, at the second computing network element, utilizing payload size and payload to reconstruct a datagram PDU including the payload for a network application at the second computing network element. By this technique, reliable datagram PDU transport over the network is ensured.
