Abstract: A computer-implemented method for displaying offering information to a website visitor visiting an intermediary website is disclosed. The intermediary website is associated with an intermediary that consolidates offering data from a plurality of sellers. The method includes ascertaining a status of the website visitor based on a unique identification associated with the website visitor, the status being one in a set of status that includes at least one of a new visitor to the intermediary website and a returning visitor with respect to one of the plurality of sellers. The method further includes displaying one of first offering data and second offering data on a webpage for viewing by the website visitor. The first offering data is displayed on the webpage if the website visitor is determined to be associated with a first status in the set of status. The second offering data is displayed if the website visitor is ascertained to be associated with a second status in the set of status.

Abstract: A method for dynamically allocating bandwidth among ATM cells and packets scheduled for output from an aggregation multiplexer of a transport-layer device configured to multiplex both ATM cells and packets onto the same channel of an optical fiber. The method includes local control and relative priority lookup of incoming ATM cells and packets to support output decision. When compared to currently employed methods, the required level of coordination with the receiving circuit for dynamic bandwidth allocation is substantially lower, thereby reducing operational complexity for network operators and latency for critical data when reallocating bandwidth.

Abstract: A technique for disguising ATM cells as ATM cell-containing packets within a routing facility to permit the packet-only switch to also handle switching of the ATM cells. The technique has wide applications within the backbone infrastructure, Wide Area Networks, Metro Area Networks, Local Area Networks, and particularly within a routing facility to handle high speed traffic. The technique can receive both ATM cells and packets for switching via a single channel or optical fiber or receive ATM cells and packets via two separate channels or two separate fibers. The ability to handle both ATM cell and packet switching allows packet-only routers to handle ATM traffic, thereby reducing the cost of the switching infrastructure for network operators.
