Patent number: 7496033Abstract: Methods and systems for dynamically computing a schedule defining interconnections between ports in a switching system. In one embodiment, a switching core requests demand reports from the ingress ports. In response to this request, the ingress ports generate a series of suggested port schedules, beginning with a first choice, then a second choice, and so on. The schedules are transmitted to the switching core, beginning with the first choice. The switching core receives the first choice for each of the ports and determines whether the aggregate schedule defined by the first choices is valid. If the aggregate schedule is valid, then this schedule is implemented. If the aggregate schedule is not valid, portions of it are discarded and the next choice from each of the ports is examined to identify connections to replace the discarded portions. This process is repeated until a valid schedule is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2006Date of Patent: February 24, 2009Assignee: YT Networks Capital, LLCInventors: Robert E.

Patent number: 7421053Abstract: Systems and methods for aligning the phase of a PLL with an incoming data signal. In one embodiment, when a data signal is received in a PLL, a phase perturbation signal is generated and injected into the PLL. The PLL then performs a phase alignment procedure to lock on to the received data signal. The phase perturbation signal is a damped sinusoidal oscillation that is injected into the PLL when each of a plurality of data packets is received. The perturbation signal has an amplitude sufficient to bump the PLL out of a quasi-stable state around 180 degrees out of phase with the incoming data signal, but is damped to less than a degree of phase shift within 30 ns of being injected.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2003Date of Patent: September 2, 2008Assignee: YT Networks Capital, LLCInventors: Bing Li, David Wolf, James Plesa, Lakshman S.

Patent number: 7272309Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for routing optical data. In one embodiment of the present invention, data can routed in a non-blocking fashion from a plurality of the ingress edge units to a plurality of egress edge units by selectively connecting the ingress edge units to the egress edge units at a photonic core. Switching at the photonic core can be driven by a clock signal and does not require an electrical to optical conversion to occur at the core. This can allow switching on the nanosecond level, substantially faster than many prior art systems.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2003Date of Patent: September 18, 2007Assignee: Yotta Networks, LLCInventors: Lakshman S.

Patent number: 7251416Abstract: Systems and methods for optical cross connects which switch data at a container (packet) level. In one embodiment, a plurality of optical switch edges are coupled to an optical switch core via a minimal number of optical fibers. The switch core is configured to optically switch data from an ingress edge to one of a plurality of egress edges in a nonblocking fashion. The ingress edge receives data streams and distributes the data among a plurality of container processors. Each of these container processors produces an optical signal of a different wavelength, which can then be multiplexed with others to form a multiple-wavelength optical signal that is transmitted to the switch core. The switch core then switches successive portions (containers) of the multiple-wavelength signal to the egress edges to which they are respectively destined. The respective egress edges perform the reverse of this process to form output data signals.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2003Date of Patent: July 31, 2007Assignee: Yotta networks, LLCInventors: Lakshman S.
