Patent number: 9209990Abstract: A method and system is directed to routing a flow of packets over a network to multiple traffic management devices. An apparatus receives each packet from a network and forwards the packet to one of a group of traffic management devices. The apparatus also may receive packets from servers for which the traffic management devices are managing communications. When forwarding packets, a traffic management device is selected from the group of traffic management devices by employing a hash of an IP address and port number. The IP address and port number are selected from source or destination information in the packet that has a greater port number. When the traffic management device performs a network address translation, further actions may be performed so that packets that are part of a flow between two network devices are delivered to the same traffic management device.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2010Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: F5 Networks, Inc.Inventors: Paul Szabo, David D.

Patent number: 6308289Abstract: In accordance with the method and system of the present invention, a local processor utilizes registers arranged in a fault/mask/cache fashion for environmental control and sensing within a data processing system. The local processor continuously reads input data from a variety of environmental sensors in order to determine if a threshold level has been reached and a fault condition exists. Cache registers allow the local processor to store/pass detailed sensor information to system firmware within system processor(s). The local processor sets a fault bit within a fault register designed to cause an interrupt to the system level firmware if any of its bits are non-zero, indicating that a fault condition has occurred. A mask register is designed to allow the interaction of both the local processor and system processor(s) when an interrupt is being serviced and help keeps track of which interrupts are being serviced and which are yet to be serviced in the case of multiple interrupt sources.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 1998Date of Patent: October 23, 2001Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: George Henry Ahrens, Mike Conrad Duron, Robert Allan Faust, Charles Andrew McLaughlin, Craig Henry Shempert, Kurt Paul Szabo
