  • Patent number: 12355682
    Abstract: A network device is configured with multiple forwarding domains where each forwarding domain has its own view of a front panel, referred to as a virtual front panel. The virtual front panel of a forwarding domain represents the serdes (transceivers) of that forwarding domain as virtual ports. Forwarding domains can be interconnected by an orchestrator in terms of “connecting” their respective virtual ports. The orchestrator can connect two virtual ports by configuring hardware (e.g., crosspoint switch) in the network device to create an electrical path between the physical serdes that correspond to the virtual ports.

  • Publication number: 20240273044
    Abstract: A network device may include a number of ports each having one or more physical lanes. These physical lanes of the port may be used to implement interfaces through which the network device can communicate internally and/or with external equipment. Control circuitry on the network device may flexibly generate the interfaces to be identifiable in a manner independent of the physical lanes on which they are implemented. The control circuitry may use port profiles and/or module profile to generate the interfaces, if desired, and/or may receive user input usable to generate the interfaces.

  • Patent number: 10665735
    Abstract: A micro-fabricated atomic clock structure is thermally insulated so that the atomic clock structure can operate with very little power in an environment where the external temperature can drop to ?40° C., while at the same time maintaining the temperature required for the proper operation of the VCSEL and the gas within the vapor cell.

  • Patent number: 8466535
    Abstract: The spikes in current and voltage that result from the failure of a galvanic dielectric layer are safely contained by a galvanic isolation fuse that pops and forms and open circuit between a high-voltage die and a low-voltage die in response to the failure of the galvanic dielectric layer.
