  • Per priority TCP quality of service
    Patent number: 8412831
    Abstract: An IP gateway device establishes distinct TCP sessions within a single FCIP tunnel, each TCP session being designated for a different priority of service (e.g., high, medium, low), plus a control stream. Each TCP session has its own TCP stack and its own settings for VLAN Tagging (IEEE 802.1Q), quality of service (IEEE 802.1P) and Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP). By distributing data streams assigned to different priorities of service into different TCP sessions within the FCIP tunnel, an IP gateway device can preserve the distinctions between the data stream priorities while the data traffic is within the IP network.

  • Graphics system register data generation
    Patent number: 6919901
    Abstract: A method, graphics system API and digital video system that provide more efficient processor usage and easier application programming. Register data for the hardware can be generated and written to the hardware control registers, recorded as a command list and recalled as a command list. Use of the command lists prevents repetitive calculation of register data and, hence, reduces processor usage and makes application programming easier.
