  • Patent number: 7746768
    Abstract: An Ethernet PHY hardware device supports Ethernet MAC SDH/SONET Automatic Protection Switching (APS) functionality for managing protection from failures and recovery from failures on an Ethernet network. An Ethernet PHY sublayer stored on the Ethernet PHY hardware device is configured to monitor working and protect channels and generate an interrupt upon detection of a hard failure or a soft failure. Upon detection of port failures or link failures, the Ethernet PHY sublayer generates the interrupt to invoke an Ethernet MAC Client APS Controller configured to generate and terminate APS requests on working and protect channels to manage protection of working and protect channels from failures and recovery from failures on the Ethernet network. The Ethernet PHY hardware device is configurable for use with a plurality of different network topologies to manage protection from hard or soft failures and recovery from hard or soft failures on the Ethernet network using the Ethernet PHY sublayer.

  • Publication number: 20020093952
    Abstract: To alleviate the problems associated with modifying switching software for each individual hardware components, a logical switch abstraction is provide that is separated from an underlying physical switch abstraction, the physical abstraction being dependent upon the underlying components used in the switch. The abstraction is a model of the connection paths and switching elements of the switch. By efficiently determining connections within the logical abstraction and mapping those connections in the physical abstraction, changes in underlying hardware has a minimal effect on switching software. That is, adding new hardware to the switch has minimal effect on how connections are determined through the logical abstraction. More particularly, when a hardware type is changed or added, only mapping information identifying relations between components in the logical and physical abstractions changes. Because the logical abstraction is independent of the hardware implementation, connections are more easily managed.
