  • System and method for mapping quality of service levels between MPLS and ATM connections in a network element
    Patent number: 7257121
    Abstract: A system and method of translating a set of transmission parameters related to a first transmission protocol from said first transmission protocol to a second transmission protocol for a data element being sent on a connection from a first communication network utilizing the first transmission protocol to a second communication network utilizing the second transmission protocol is provided. The method includes mapping a first parameter from the set of transmission parameters to a class of service value for the connection and mapping the class of service value and a second parameter from the set of transmission parameters to another parameter for the second transmission protocol.
    Type: Grant

  • System and method for reassembling packets in a network element
    Patent number: 7212528
    Abstract: A system and method of reassembling packets from traffic flows in a network element is provided. Each of the packets has at least one data part. The method includes the steps (1) queuing each of the data parts of the packets of traffic flows in a single reassembly queue in a sorted order, the data parts of each of the packets being continuously grouped without data parts of another packet being interleaved therein and (2) reassembling the data parts of each of the packets queued in the single reassembly queue.

  • Method and system for mediating traffic between an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network and an adjacent network
    Patent number: 7065089
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method of mediating cell traffic between an asynchronous transmission mode (ATM) network and an adjacent network, each cell in said cell traffic having a set of transmission parameters related to the ATM network and a respective ATM connection for the cell.
