Abstract: Provided are a communication apparatus and a method therefor that are capable of executing a checksum attachment processing without increase of a circuit scale. A data generating unit (for example, a CPU) that forms a communication apparatus generates data, and stores the data in a memory. A checksum processor calculates a checksum for the data read from the memory, and writes the checksum into a predetermined position in the data stored in the memory. A data sending unit (for example, a transmission processor, a MAC processing circuit, and a PHY processing circuit) reads the data having the written checksum from the memory, and sends the data to a network.

Abstract: Failover of VPN traffic between MPLS tunnels may be accelerated by determining a main and a standby MPLS tunnel for each VPN and passing both the main and standby MPLS tunnel information to the forwarding plane of a network element configured to implement the VPN. In the event of failover of a main MPLS tunnel interface, the forwarding plane may be instructed to use the standby MPLS tunnel instead of the main MPLS tunnel. Since the standby MPLS tunnel has already been determined, and information associated with the standby MPLS tunnel has already been provided to the forwarding plane, it is not necessary to recompute a new MPLS tunnel or reprogram the forwarding plane using the new MPLS tunnel information. By removing control plane operations and control plane-forwarding plane interaction from the handling of failovers, the failover recovery time may be accelerated to under 50 ms, to thereby enable VPN connections to handle time sensitive traffic.

Abstract: Multiple applications sharing common resources are arbitrated such that failures resulting from unavailable resources can be avoided. Whenever an application (e.g., a data application) desires to perform an operation (e.g., PPP resynchronization) that requires the use of a shared resource (e.g., an RF receiver), a determination is made as to whether that resource is available. The operation may be delayed while the resource is unavailable. The application may be assigned the resource if it is available or becomes available and may then start the operation. The resource is locked while the operation is pending to avoid assignment to another application. The resource arbitration allows applications to complete their operations without encountering failures due to other applications taking over the resources.

Abstract: A packet processor includes a memory and a programmable compute pipeline. The memory stores microcode that specifies respective sets for the packet types, and the respective set for each type specifies packet fields. The programmable compute pipeline includes a sequence of stages beginning with an initial stage. The initial stage includes an operand selector that extracts a data vector from each packet. The operand selector is programmable to extract the data vector that includes each field specified in the respective set for the type of each packet. Each stage except the initial stage inputs a first version of the data vector and each stage outputs a second version of the data vector. Each stage except the initial stage generates the second version of the data vector that replaces a part of the first version of the data vector with a result that the stage computes from the part.

Abstract: In a network environment where end hosts communicate with each other through end nodes connected to a backbone network, when data is sent, each end host generates a packet including a header including host identifier information corresponding to a reception path and a destination path, and transfers the corresponding packet to the end node through an access network. The end node adds a new transport control protocol (TCP) header to the received packet and transfers it to the backbone network, thus controlling traffic, errors and the like in the backbone network.

Abstract: A framework can be utilized with conventional networking components to enable those components to process packets of specific formats using conventional algorithms, such as algorithms for receive side coalescing (RCS) and TCP segmentation offloading (TSO).

Placing information at a specific location or offset enables the networking hardware to quickly recognize a packet for processing. Packets can be segmented and coalesced using conventional algorithms on the networking hardware, enabling packets of various formats to be able to take advantage of various performance enhancements.
