20100111091 | METHOD AND APPARATUS TO PERFORM NETWORK ROUTING - A method and apparatus to route information over a network is described. | 2010-05-06 |
20100111092 | RING CONNECTION CONTROL CIRCUIT, RING SWITCHING HUB, RING ETHERNET SYSTEM, AND RING CONNECTION CONTROLLING METHOD - If either of the MAC processing units in one of the ring connection control circuits receives a MAC frame that includes control information for the redundancy control process related to one of the subrings from that subring, then output of the relevant MAC frame to the transfer processing unit is restricted and the relevant MAC frame is output to the STP processing unit. | 2010-05-06 |
20100111093 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO DYNAMICALLY CONTROL CONNECTIVITY WITHIN VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORKS - Methods and apparatus to dynamically control connectivity within VPNs are disclosed. A disclosed example route server to control connectivity within a VPN comprises a memory to implement a database, a border gateway protocol (BGP) engine to process BGP advertisements, a network interface to receive a first BGP advertisement, which a first route target (RT) associated with the first PE router, from a first provider edge (PE) router associated with the VPN, and an intra-VPN connectivity controller to, in response to the first BGP advertisement, query the database to determine whether the first PE router is to be communicatively coupled to a second PE router of the VPN and when the first and second PE routers of the VPN are to be communicatively coupled, direct the BGP engine to form a second BGP advertisement that includes a second RT associated with the second PE router based on the first BGP advertisement. | 2010-05-06 |
20100111094 | RELAY DEVICE, ACCESS ANALYSIS DEVICE, METHOD OF CONTROLLING RELAY DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM FOR THE SAME - When transmitting, to an information processing device (such as a server) via a telecommunications line, a plurality of pieces of information obtained in a target device that is a target of maintenance, a relay device (computer) refers to priority recognition information used to recognize priority in transmitting the pieces of maintenance information in order to determine the priority of each of the pieces of maintenance information, and transmits the plurality of pieces of maintenance information separately and sequentially to the information processing device via the telecommunication line on the basis of the determined priority. | 2010-05-06 |
20100111095 | DATA TRANSFER - A bridging system, comprising bridges | 2010-05-06 |
20100111096 | Methods and Systems for Frequency and Time Division Access - Aspects of the present invention relate to methods and systems for managing and allocating bandwidth in a communication medium. Some aspects relate to the determination of bit usage patterns for use in allocating bandwidth. Some aspects relate to the further determination of a derived usage pattern from the bit usage patterns and allocation of tone-slots within the derived usage pattern. | 2010-05-06 |
