Patent number: 7792047Abstract: The present invention relates to a packet switch and a packet switching method. An example embodiment of the present invention comprises at least three network ports, at least one instrument port, a mux-switch, a packet switch fabric, and an address table. The embodiment updates the address table to include the source address of each ingress packet of each network port and associate the source address with that network port. The mux-switch routes the ingress packet traffic of each network port according to the identity of the network port so that at least a copy of the packet traffic of one of the network ports is routed to an instrument port. The packet switch fabric routes the packets from the instrument ports to the network ports according the destination address of the packet and the identity of the network port that is associated with the destination address as recorded in the address table.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2008Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: Gigamon LLC.Inventors: Tom Gallatin, Denny K. Miu, King L. Won, Patrick Pak Tak Leong, Ted C. Ho

Patent number: 6707794Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for analyzing link failure in a network is described, wherein a protocol analyzer captures handshake protocol frames exchanged by two nodes attempting to establish a physical link. The captured handshake protocol frames ordered sets are displayed to the user in a merged, time-ordered list, and the information contained in the frames is decoded and displayed. If an attempt to establish a link fails, the symptoms of the failure and a possible diagnosis are identified and displayed. The user is thereby provided with a complete, understandable picture of the events leading up to the link failure, and with symptoms and possible cause of the link failure.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 1999Date of Patent: March 16, 2004Assignee: Networks Associates Technology, Inc.Inventors: Pak-Tak Patrick Leong, King L.

Patent number: 6195352Abstract: A system and method for identifying and analyzing active channels in an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network. The system and method open a plurality of ATM network channels during a time period; automatically monitor each of the plurality of open channels to identify any active channels from among the open channels; and automatically identify the type of traffic transmitted on the open channels. By systematically identifying the active channels in the ATM network, the ATM network analysis device can further analyze the traffic on the active channels. The present invention includes at least three functions: network data detection and capture, active channel determination, and ATM Application Layer (AAL) service type categorization. A network data detector and identifier (DDI) performs the functions of network data detection and capture. The DDI connects to an ATM network and captures, copies, and repeats cells transmitted on the network and copies cells of interest to the DDI for further analysis.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 1996Date of Patent: February 27, 2001Assignee: Network Associates, Inc.Inventors: Paul W. Cushman, King L. Won, Bakulesh A. Mehta
