  • Network path identification
    Patent number: 8614954
    Abstract: A method is implemented in a network that comprises a plurality of ports and an indicator associated with each port. The method comprises forming a frame. The frame passes through the network. The frame causes indicators of multiple ports to illuminate to provide an indication of a path through the network Each of the ports remain illuminated for at least a period of time after the frame passes through each such port to enable a person to concurrently visualize all of the ports comprising the path.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 26, 2006

  • Failover of multicast traffic flows using NIC teaming
    Patent number: 7586842
    Abstract: A method of operating a network computer system provides redundant Internet Protocol (IP) Multicast traffic flow on a group of physical ports and comprises virtualizing the group of physical ports into a single virtual Network Interface Controller (NIC), validating network connectivity in a logical group comprising at least one of the physical ports in the virtualized group, and responding to failure of a physical port that is actively receiving on an IP Multicast traffic flow by instigating failover of the actively received IP Multicast traffic flow to a physical port in the logical group with validated network connectivity.
