Patent number: 8410834Abstract: An apparatus and method for clock regeneration with low jitter. The method includes the following steps: (a) using a phase lock loop to generate a first clock that is phase locked to a reference clock; (b) using a binary phase detector for generating a phase error signal by detecting a timing difference between the input signal and a second clock; (c) filtering the phase error signal to generate a first control word and a second control word; (d) performing a phase rotation on the first clock by an amount controlled by the first control word to generate the second clock; (e) filtering the second control word to generate a third control word; (f) sampling the third control word to generate a fourth control word using a third clock; and (g) performing a phase rotation on the first clock by an amount controlled by the fourth control word to generate the third clock. Comparable features for performing these steps are provided in the apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2011Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Realtek Semiconductor Corp.Inventors: Chia-Liang Lin, Gerchih Chou, Pei-Si Wu

Patent number: 8411570Abstract: Serial clustering uses two or more network devices connected in series via a local and/or wide-area network to provide additional capacity when network traffic exceeds the processing capabilities of a single network device. When a first network device reaches its capacity limit, any excess network traffic beyond that limit is passed through the first network device unchanged. A network device connected in series with the first network device intercepts and will process the excess network traffic provided that it has sufficient processing capacity. Additional network devices can process remaining network traffic in a similar manner until all of the excess network traffic has been processed or until there are no more additional network devices. Network devices may use rules to determine how to handle network traffic. Rules may be based on the attributes of received network packets, attributes of the network device, or attributes of the network.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2006Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Riverbed Technologies, Inc.Inventors: David Tze-Si Wu, Nitin Gupta, Kand Ly

Patent number: 8402085Abstract: Self-discovering transaction accelerators improve communications between a client and a server. A client directs a message to a server. A client-side transaction accelerator intercepts the message, terminates the connection with the client, and accelerates the request by replacing segments of data with references. The accelerated request is forwarded to a server-side transaction accelerator through a new connection. The server-side transaction accelerator reconstructs the message by replacing the reference with segment data in a persistent segment store accessible to the server-side transaction accelerator. The reconstructed request is then provided to the server. Accelerations may occur in any direction of communication. Persistent segment stores can be pre-populated with segment data from other transaction accelerators and anticipated transactions.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2012Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: Riverbed Technology, Inc.Inventors: Steven McCanne, Michael J. Demmer, Arvind Jain, David Tze-Si Wu, Alfred Landrum

Patent number: 8364815Abstract: A system of network proxies distributes data to multiple servers. Each network proxy is associated with a server. A network proxy intercepts a client request for data. If the network proxy determines that the request can be served using a copy of data stored on the local server, rather than the data stored on a remote server, it diverts the request to the local server. If the network proxy determines that the request cannot be served using a data from the local server, the network proxy diverts the request to a remote server storing the primary copy of the data. A server map specifies the locations of the primary copies of data. When a primary copy of data is updated on one of the servers, the associated network proxy propagates the updated data to the other servers. The servers can provide data from files, e-mail services, databases, or multimedia services.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2005Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Riverbed Technology, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Edwin Burman, Kartik Subbanna, Steven McCanne, David Tze-Si Wu, Mark Stuart Day

Patent number: 8204058Abstract: Network traffic is monitored and an optimal framing heuristic is automatically determined and applied. Framing heuristics specify different rules for framing network traffic. While a framing heuristic is applied to the network traffic, alternative framing heuristics are speculatively evaluated for the network traffic. The results of these evaluations are used to rank the framing heuristics. The framing heuristic with the best rank is selected for framing subsequent network traffic. Each client/server traffic flow may have a separate framing heuristic. The framing heuristics may be deterministic based on byte count and/or time or based on traffic characteristics that indicate a plausible point for framing to occur.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2006Date of Patent: June 19, 2012Assignee: Riverbed Technology, Inc.Inventors: David Tze-Si Wu, Soren Lasen, Kartik Subbana, Nitin Gupta, Vivasvat Keswani

Publication number: 20120066337Abstract: The cloud storage services are extended with a cloud storage service access protocol that enables users to specify a desired storage tier for each data stream. In response to receiving storage tier specifiers via the protocol, the cloud storage service performs storage operations to identify target storage devices having attributes matching those associated with the requested storage tier. The cloud storage service stores a data stream from the storage client in the identified target storage device associated with the desired storage tier. Storage tiers can be defined based on criteria including capacity costs; access latency; availability; activation state; bandwidth and/or transfer rates; and data replication. The cloud storage service protocol allows data streams to be transferred between storage tiers, storage devices to be activated or deactivated, and data streams to be prefetched and cached. The cloud storage services may charge storage clients based on storage tier use and associated operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2010Publication date: March 15, 2012Applicant: RIVERBED TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: David Tze-Si Wu, Vivasvat Keswani, Nitin Parab
