Abstract: An embedded megamodule and an embedded CPU enable power-saving through a combination of hardware and software. The CPU configures the power-down controller (PDC) logic within megamodule and can software trigger a low-power state of logic modules during processor IDLE periods. To wake from this power-down state, a system event is asserted to the CPU through the module interrupt controller. Thus the entry into a low-power state is software-driven during periods of inactivity and power restoration is on system activity that demands the attention of the CPU.

Abstract: An edge router runs a Multipath Transmission Control Protocol (MPTCP) proxy to allow for a host that implements TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) to operate normally yet reap the benefits of an MPTCP connection. An upgrade of a TCPIP stack on the host is not necessary. The edge router demultiplexes packets received from the host over a TCP connection to an MPTCP connection and multiplexes packets sent to the host over an MPTCP connection to a TCP connection. As a result, higher throughput of packet communication can be realized, for example, for improved video support.
