20140056303 | INTEGRATED SWITCH FOR DYNAMIC ORCHESTRATION OF TRAFFIC - A network element within a data center comprises a switch adapted to receive a data packet, a server in communication with the switch, and a switching engine in the switch. The switching engine may be configured to modify policy header information in the data packet to direct the packet to the server. The server may be configured to modify the policy header information while the data packet is in the server to return the data packet to said switch. | 2014-02-27 |
20140056304 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS - One embodiment provides a communication apparatus including: a first storage which stores connection information and an address; a connection information reading portion which reads connection information from the first storage upon reception of a packet transmission start instruction; a header generating portion which generates a header of a packet from the read connection information; a second storage which stores data at the address; and a data reading portion which reads data corresponding to the read connection information from the second storage, wherein the connection information reading portion is constituted by a first hardware, wherein the header generating and data reading portions are constituted by a second hardware, and wherein, while the data reading portion is reading data of a first packet or while the header generating portion is generating a header of the first packet, the connection information reading portion reads connection information of a second packet. | 2014-02-27 |
20140056305 | RELAY SERVER AND RELAY COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A relay server presents, to an operator having made a login request, a list of connecting-target apparatuses to which the operator is able to connect. When, for example, a client terminal is selected from the list, the relay server stores, as address filter information of the relay server, an address of a communication apparatus operated by the operator, and transmits the address filter information to the client terminal. The relay server stores address filter information received from the client terminal. Then, a routing session for a VPN is established between the relay server and the client terminal, and routing of a packet is performed based on the address filter information. | 2014-02-27 |
20140056306 | MAC Aggregation With Message Multiplicity For Use In A Multi-Node Data Network - A MAC aggregation technique utilizing a large field addition operation is disclosed. The large field addition operation defines the addition of two or more MACs mod p, where the two or MACs may comprise constituent MACs or aggregate MACs, and where p is a prime number that is large relative to the size of the MACs. The disclosed MAC aggregation technique yields an aggregate MAC much shorter than the concatenation of constituent MACs while achieving security even in the case where constituent MACs may be aggregated in duplicate. | 2014-02-27 |
20140056307 | Systems And Methods For Multicore Processing Of Data With In-Sequence Delivery - Methods and systems are described to allow for the parallel processing of packets and other subsets of data that are to be delivered in order after the completion of the parallel processing. The methods and systems may process packets and subsets of data that may vary in size by orders of magnitude. The packets may be transmitted and/or received over data transmission networks that may be orders of magnitude faster than the processing speeds of the parallel processors. Entire packets or subsets of data may be allocated to individual processing units without segmenting the packets between the processing units. A count value may be inserted as metadata to received packets in order to indicate a relative order of arrival. The metadata may be utilized by a multiplexor at the output of the parallel processing units in order to maintain in-sequence delivery of the processed packets. | 2014-02-27 |
20140056308 | SITE-TO-SITE 6RD TUNNELING USING COLLOCATED BORDER ROUTER AND CUSTOMER EDGE - In one embodiment, a router gateway in a first Local Area Network (LAN) hosts both an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) Rapid Deployment (6rd) Customer Edge (CE) as well as a 6rd Border Router (BR). In one specific example embodiment, upon registering the BR to a global computer network, the router gateway may then accept a 6rd tunnel from a device hosting a second 6rd CE of a second LAN, such that the 6rd tunnel joins the first and second LANs into a single LAN. The second CE may then communicate, via the router gateway, between the first and second LANs as a single LAN (e.g., site-to-site), accordingly. | 2014-02-27 |
20140056309 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FRAME TRANSFER USING VIRTUAL BUFFER - A method comprises linking a plurality of physical buffers to provide one or more virtual buffers; transferring content to the one or more virtual buffers; and transferring the content from the one or more virtual buffers through one or more buffer transfers to a first entity. | 2014-02-27 |
