Patent number: 9917780Abstract: Traffic control can be provided across a Layer 2-Layer 3 boundary in a software defined network. A network controller can receive information related to a number of conditions in a software defined network (SDN) from a number of network devices. The network controller can provide network traffic control across a Layer 2-Layer 3 boundary in the SDN based on the received information.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: James S. Hiscock, Joseph A. Curcio, Jr.

Patent number: 7266744Abstract: Application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and methods are provided which allow for internal testing of an ASIC. One ASIC embodiment includes a processor on the ASIC. A memory is coupled to the processor. A test circuit is integrated on the ASIC and coupled to the processor to perform testing internal to the ASIC, the test circuit having an input to receive signals from the processor. The processor can read an output of the test circuit to determine a performance speed of the ASIC.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2004Date of Patent: September 4, 2007Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Joseph A.

Patent number: 5598406Abstract: A method for transmitting data packets, grouped as data octets, over a LAN having a central hub linked to each of a plurality of network nodes via a physical medium consisting of four pairs of unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The transmission method sequentially divides the data into data quintets. The quintets are then arranged into blocks of data quintets and sequentially distributed into four individual serial code streams. The four serial code streams are sequentially scrambled to produce four streams of randomized quintets. The randomized data streams are sequentially block encoded into 6-bit symbol data which are then transmitted using NRZ modulation across the network by transmitting each data stream over one of said pairs of cable.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 1995Date of Patent: January 28, 1997Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: Alan Albrecht, Steven H. Goody, Michael P. Spratt, Joseph A. Curcio, Jr., Daniel J. Dove

Patent number: 5583872Abstract: A method provides for a first network node in a plurality of network nodes to transmit a data packet to a hub. The hub and the network nodes are interconnected within a local network system. Control signals are exchanged between the first network node and the hub. The exchange of control signals is done in a first signal frequency range. A data packet is sent from the first network node to the hub. The data packet is sent using data signals within a second signal frequency range. The first signal frequency range and the second signal frequency range do not overlap.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 1995Date of Patent: December 10, 1996Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: Alan Albrecht, Steven H. Goody, Michael P. Spratt, Joseph A. Curcio, Jr., Daniel J. Dove
