  • Methods and systems for accessing remote digital data over a wide area network (WAN)
    Patent number: 11418629
    Abstract: Systems and methods accessing remote digital data over a wide area network (WAN) are disclosed. In an embodiment, a network device is disclosed. The network device includes a local area network (LAN) switching fabric physical interface configured to communicate according to a LAN switching fabric protocol, a WAN physical interface configured to communicate according to a WAN protocol, and a fabric extension function configured to map LAN switching fabric interfaces to pseudo-ports, map pseudo-ports to WAN interfaces, and transmit LAN fabric datagrams received at the LAN switching fabric physical interface from the WAN physical interface via a mapped pseudo-port and a corresponding WAN interface.

  • Asynchronous bit-table calendar for ATM switch
    Patent number: 6430186
    Abstract: A segmentation and reassembly processor (10) is disclosed for use in interfacing a group of time-division multiplexed lines (25) to a cell-based communication environment (20). The SAR uses a bit-table calendar (100) to schedule cells to be sent to the cell-based network. A cell service decision circuit (50) reads frame events from a frame advanced FIFO (40) and signals a cell builder (60) to assemble cells of data from a frame buffer (70) for transmission to a cell based output (50).
