  • Techniques for transmitting and receiving traffic over advanced switching compatible switch fabrics
    Patent number: 7583664
    Abstract: Techniques for transmitting SONET/SDH traffic over an Advanced Switching compatible switch fabric. In one implementation, SONET/SDH traffic may be aggregated and encapsulated into Advanced Switching compatible packets. In one implementation, the contents of the Advanced Switching compatible packets may be configurable and directions on how to unpack the Advanced Switching compatible packets may be transmitted to end point nodes. In one implementation, SONET/SDH pointer justification generation may be divided between a source node which transmits SONET/SDH traffic to the switch fabric and an end point node which receives SONET/SDH traffic from the switch fabric.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 28, 2004
    Date of Patent: September 1, 2009
    Inventors: Michael Ho, Miriam Qunell, Jason Garratt, Kevin Citterelle, Jeff Fedders, Michael Kauschke, Matthew Adiletta, Ernest Kaempfer, Douglas Carrigan

  • Overhead processing and generation techniques
    Publication number: 20060067314
    Abstract: Techniques to allocate overhead processing and overhead generation among at least data and overhead processors. The data processor and overhead processor may be provided in separate integrated circuits. The data processor and overhead processor may be provided in separate line cards. Multiple data processors may share use of one or more overhead processors. Payload portions of standardized frames may be used to transfer overhead between the data and overhead processors.
