Patent number: 11411869Abstract: Embodiments for handling multidestination traffic in a network are described. The multidestination traffic includes packets that are in transit to a multihomed destination in the network. Upon determining the destination is multihomed, a network switch determines a hash value from a selection of header values in the network traffic and uses the hash value to determine if the network switch is a designated forwarder for the multihomed destination. The network switch handles the network traffic according a designated forwarder status.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2020Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Putu H.

Patent number: 11395143Abstract: This application discloses a network access method and apparatus, and a network device. The network access method is performed by an access gateway, includes: receiving a PPPoE message or a IPoE message sent by a user terminal, obtaining access information included in the PPPoE message or the IPoE message; encapsulating the access information into an NAS message or an EAP message; then, sending the NAS message or the EAP message to a control plane function entity CP; receiving network interface information sent by the CP; and sending the network interface information to the user terminal, so that the user terminal accesses a network. As can be learned from this solution, the user terminal is not limited by a protocol stack when accessing the network. Therefore, full services can be provided by deploying only one core network. This not only saves a resource but also facilitates network maintenance.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2019Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Youyang Yu, Hua Li

Patent number: 11317146Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate an identification of a viewer based upon the proximity of an associated wireless device to an access point. An association between a wireless device, user, display device, and a position of the wireless device relative to an access point may be created and stored at the access point. The access point may monitor the position of the wireless device, wherein the position is based on the strength of a signal received from the wireless device at one or more receivers. When the access point determines that a position of the wireless device is associated with a display device, the access point may identify the user of the wireless device as a potential viewer of the display device. Targeted advertisements and set-top box functionality may be configured based on the identification of a viewer of the display device.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2019Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: ARRIS Enterprises LLCInventors: Charles Hardt, Dmitry Barablin, Scott Stilwell

Patent number: 11165533Abstract: An Ethernet transceiver is disclosed. The Ethernet transceiver includes transmit circuitry having a forward error correction (FEC) encoder to encode data into FEC frames. A modulator modulates the FEC frames into symbols. A precoder equalizes the symbols and a transmitter transmits the equalized symbols over a reduced number of channels NS with respect to a baseline number of channels N0. For a reduced data rate BS with respect to a baseline data rate B0, the FEC frames are assembled by the FEC encoder to exhibit an expanded frame time FTS that is expanded from a baseline frame time FT0 by a factor of B0/BS. The modulator generates symbols that are transmitted by the transmit circuit at a symbol rate SRS that is reduced from a baseline symbol rate SR0 by a factor of (B0*NS)/(BS*N0).Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2016Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: Marvell Asia Pte, Ltd.Inventor: Hossein Sedarat
