Abstract: A system and method for routing packets within a router having a plurality of loosely-coupled route processors, including a first route processor, and a line card operably coupled to the plurality of distributed-route-processors. Each route processor includes an internal forwarding information base (IFIB). Each IFIB includes information that is used to route packets addressed to elements within the router.

Abstract: Packets destined for the route processor of a packet switching device are rate controlled. Typically, line cards are configured to rate limit packets of offending packet flows destined for the route processor, such, but not limited to in response to a quantity of packets in the route processor. Filtering of packets of offending packet flows at the line cards reduces the work required of the route processor.

Abstract: A pressure compensation member suitable to be placed in a fluid dispensing channel, a valve unit comprising this pressure drop compensation member and a container comprising this pressure compensation member or this valve unit are disclosed. The pressure compensation member is adapted to maintain a substantially constant flow of fluid through the fluid dispensing channel.

Abstract: Disclosed are, inter alia, methods, apparatus, data structures, computer-readable media, and mechanisms, for identifying admission control policies and enforcement of these admission control policies on packets destined for a route processor. A typical routing device includes: a route processor, a forwarding lookup mechanism for identifying packets destined for the route processor; a lookup mechanism for identifying admission control parameters for packets destined for the route processor; and an admission control enforcement mechanism for enforcing the identified admission control policy parameters for the packets.

Abstract: Disclosed are, inter alia, methods, apparatus, data structures, computer-readable media, and mechanisms, for a route processor adjusting admission control policies for packets destined for the route processor and enforced on line cards. Individual line cards can identify offending packet flows that pass through them. However, for example, it is possible that an attack on the route processor might comprise packets being forwarded to the route processor from different line cards, with these packets belonging to a same or different packet flow. By monitoring and identifying offending packet flows, the route processor can inform at least the line cards corresponding to these offending packet flows in order to adjust their corresponding admission control policies to combat such an attack, while typically allowing legitimate traffic to continue to flow at the desired rate to the route processor.

Abstract: A sleeve assembly for receiving and protecting elongated items within a duct is disclosed. The sleeve assembly includes a plurality of separate and independent sleeves, each sleeve being woven from warp and weft filamentary members that form sidewalls surrounding and defining a central space. Pull cords are located within each central space for drawing the elongated items through the sleeves once positioned within a duct. The assembly includes means for drawing the sleeves simultaneously through the duct, such means including an outer jacket surrounding the sleeves, the jacket having an inwardly facing surface that exerts a compressive force on the sleeves causing them to be drawn through the duct together with the jacket. The means may also include a loop which attaches the sleeved together at one end. The sleeves may be biased into an open or a substantially flattened configuration.
