  • Patent number: 9300591
    Abstract: Disclosed is a network communication switch that facilitates reliable communication of high priority traffic over lower priority traffic across all ingress and egress ports. The network communication switch may monitor the frame storage buffer regardless of egress port, and when the frame storage buffer reaches a predetermined level, the switch may discard lower priority frames from the most congested port. When the frame storage buffer reaches a second predetermined level, the switch may discard lower priority frames before they are stored according to egress port. The network communication switch may further monitor ingress frames for priority, and assign priority to frames according to pre-assigned priority, ingress port, and/or frame contents.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7583771
    Abstract: Systems and methods providing resampling of a sampled data transmitted through a communication channel. Reliable resampling is provided even when original data samples are lost or reordered during transmission through the network. In one embodiment, a receiver associates each received data sample with a respective sampling time instant. The received data may include index values that associate the received data samples with respective sampling time instants. In other embodiments, the received data includes time stamps with encoded sampling time instant information. In another embodiment, arrival time instants are used to correlate the received data samples with their respective sampling time instants. The receiver then uses the sampling time information to select data samples corresponding to resampling time instants. If needed, the receiver uses interpolation to generate resampled data points corresponding to the resampling time instants.
