Patent number: 9544080Abstract: The invention includes, among other things, a system for passing TDM traffic through a packet switch. In one embodiment, the system includes a packet switch that has a plurality of data ports and is capable of routing FSDU packets between the plurality of data ports. A TDM encapsulation circuit process a TDM data flow that is incoming to the switch. A circuit demultiplexer processes the incoming data flow to buffer data associated with different TDM circuits into different buffer locations. A timer monitors the amount of time available to fill the FSDU, and when the time period reaches the frame boundary, an FSDU generator generates an FSDU that is filled with data associated with the TDM circuits. Header information is added for allowing the packet switch to route the generated FSDU to a port associated with the respective TDM circuit.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2014Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: Genband US LLCInventors: Daniel W. English, John Doucette, Paul Miller, Hicham Saab

Patent number: 7545801Abstract: Systems for in-band control that establish relationships between incoming data and one or more destinations to which the data is to be transmitted. In the in-band control embodiments described herein, a connection is established between two ends of a circuit by provisioning at one end of the circuit. A circuit connection table is kept at both ends of the circuit. This table contains the new and existing circuit connection information. A software process writes to the connection table at the local end of the circuit with the address information of the remote end of the circuit. The circuit connection information is to be periodically sent to the remote end to establish or tear down new connections.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2003Date of Patent: June 9, 2009Assignee: Cedar Point Communications, Inc.Inventors: Paul Miller, Jr., Daniel W.
