Patent number: 8305937Abstract: A repeater stores retrieval situation of an address retrieved as an address identical with the transmission destination address of the reception frame in association with each address registered in the learning table, refers to, when the transmission source address of the received frame is registered in the learning table, the retrieval situation of the address stored in association with a port identical with the port that receives the frame from among retrieval situations, specifies an address to be overwritten by the transmission source address of the reception frame, overwrites and registers the transmission source address of the reception frame on the specified address, and updates, when the address identical with the transmission destination address of the received frame is retrieved from the learning table, the retrieval situation stored in association with the retrieved address.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2010Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Masamichi Kasa, Shinichi Shiwachi

Patent number: 8259577Abstract: A packet forwarding device reads each packet from a common buffer at a predetermined band velocity and transfers the readout packet; detects passage of a re-transmission request packet requesting re-transmission of a packet having been transmitted, from a receiving terminal to a packet transmission source; and limits a writing band of writing a packet transmitted from the packet transmission source terminal, which is a receiving terminal to which the re-transmission request packet is destined, into the common buffer when the re-transmission request packet is detected.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2008Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Masahiko Iwakiri, Shinichi Shiwachi

Patent number: 7898960Abstract: A surplus amount of token calculating unit calculates a surplus amount of token for a station in which a residual amount of output buffer is smaller than a residual amount of token. A necessary amount of token calculating unit calculates a necessary amount of token for a station in which the residual amount of output buffer is larger than the residual amount of token. A token distributing unit distributes a token within a range of the surplus amount of token to a token counter of a station in which the necessary amount of token has been calculated, from a station in which the surplus amount of token has been calculated.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2007Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Hiroaki Yashima, Shinichi Shiwachi

Patent number: 7738458Abstract: A communication device simplified in circuit configuration and capable of shortening the time required to copy packets for broadcasting or multicasting. A packet separator separates an incoming packet into a data part and a header part, and a memory stores the data part. An internal packet generator attaches, to the header part, an internal header of a fixed length including the address of the stored data part, to generate an internal packet. A route searcher searches for a route for the internal packet based on the header part. Queues are associated with packet input/output ports, respectively, for temporarily storing the internal packet routed by the route searcher. A reader reads out the data part from the memory in accordance with the address included in the internal header of the internal packet. A packet generator generates an output packet from the data part and the header part of the internal packet.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2007Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Shinya Yonemoto, Shinichi Shiwachi
