Publication number: 20160028860Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for enabling existing or legacy network devices to handle packets defined in accordance with future-defined standards, without having to be re-configured to be compatible with these standards. A transmitting network device may generate packets, and may set in the packets indication fields (e.g., tag header type fields) to indicate when particular fields (e.g., tag header fields) are inserted into the packets, including unknown or newly-defined fields. The indication fields may enable a receiving device to handle the packets by skipping, when necessary, over these fields (e.g., including the unknown or newly-defined fields). The indication fields may, for example, identify for each packet a remaining portion to jump to without reading the inserted fields.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2015Publication date: January 28, 2016Inventors: Lawrence Howard Rubin, Harish Kumar Shakamuri

Patent number: 9154586Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for enabling existing or legacy network devices to recognize and parse packets defined in accordance with future-defined standards, without having to be re-configured to be compatible with such standards. A transmitting network device may generate packets such that to enable receiving network devices to bypass, when processing the packets, unknown or newly-inserted fields, such as tag headers, in the packets, and to continue processing the remainder of the packet. This may be achieved by, for example, incorporating in the packets, when such unknown or newly-inserted are included in the packets, corresponding indication fields (e.g., tag header type fields) which may indicated that the unknown or newly-inserted are inserted. Further, indication fields may enable a receiving device to skip over these unknown or newly-inserted. For example, each tag header type filed may be associated with a particular tag header length of the corresponding tag header.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2014Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: EMULEX CORPORATIONInventors: Lawrence Howard Rubin, Harish Kumar Shakamuri

Patent number: 8867568Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method allowing an existing or legacy network device to recognize and parse packets defined in accordance with future-defined standards without having to be re-configured to be compatible with such standards. In particular, the device can skip past unknown or newly-inserted fields, such as tag headers in a tagged packet, to parse and process the remainder of the packet. By skipping those added fields such as a tag header, the device can accommodate various future-defined standards without incurring additional engineering or design costs or compromising packet processing efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2011Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Emulex CorporationInventors: Lawrence Howard Rubin, Harish Kumar Shakamuri

Patent number: 7996249Abstract: Information technology (IT) spending by a subject entity is assessed against an industry-wide optimal value of an IT benchmark and a result of that assessment displayed. Importantly, the IT benchmark developed by the present inventor accounts for the subject entity's IT spending as a percentage of the entity's revenue and the entity's IT spending as a percentage of the entity's operating expenses. For the industry as a whole, the optimal value of the IT benchmark is determined on the basis of profitability measures for individual companies within the industry. This process may be performed as part of a larger analysis concerning the subject entity's operations to provide an overall assessment of the entity's financial performance, health, etc.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2008Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Inventor: Howard A.
