20110299414 | PRESERVING QUALITY OF SERVICE ACROSS TRILL NETWORKS - Systems and techniques for processing and/or forwarding packets are described. An ingress switch can use a QoS mapping mechanism to map a first set of Quality of Service (QoS) bits in a packet received from a customer to a second set of QoS bits for use in a Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) packet which encapsulates the packet. The first set of QoS bits can be different from the second set of QoS bits. The TRILL packet can be processed and/or forwarded in the network based on the second set of QoS bits. At the egress switch, the TRILL packet can be decapsulated and the original packet with the original QoS bits (or QoS bits that are different from the original QoS bits) can be forwarded to the customer's network. In this manner, some embodiments of the present invention can preserve the QoS bits across a TRILL network. | 12-08-2011 |

In some embodiments, the system encapsulates the packet in a TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) packet by adding a TRILL header to the packet.

20120110411 | Content Addressable Memory (CAM) Parity And Error Correction Code (ECC) Protection - A memory system including a content addressable memory (CAM) array and a non-CAM array. The non-CAM array, which may share word lines with the CAM array, stores one or more error detection bits associated with each row of the CAM array. A state machine reads entries of the CAM array and corresponding error detection bits of the non-CAM array during idle cycles of the CAM array. Error detection logic identifies errors in the entries read from CAM array (using the retrieved error detection bits). If these errors are correctable, the error detection logic corrects the entry, and writes the corrected entry back to the CAM array (an updated set of error detection bits are also written to the non-CAM array). If these errors are not correctable, an interrupt is generated, which causes correct data to be retrieved from a shadow copy of the CAM array. | 05-03-2012 |
20130031077 | Longest Prefix Match Scheme - A LPM search engine includes a plurality of exact match (EXM) engines and a moderately sized TCAM. Each EXM engine uses a prefix bitmap scheme that allows the EXM engine to cover multiple consecutive prefix lengths. Thus, instead of covering one prefix length L per EXM engine, the prefix bitmap scheme enables each EXM engine to cover entries having prefix lengths of L, L+1, L+2 and L+3, for example. As a result, fewer EXM engines are potentially underutilized, which effectively reduces quantization loss. Each EXM engine provides a search result with a determined fixed latency when using the prefix bitmap scheme. The results of multiple EXM engines and the moderately sized TCAM are combined to provide a single search result, representative of the longest prefix match. In one embodiment, the LPM search engine supports 32-bit IPv4 (or 128-bit IPv6) search keys, each having associated 15-bit level 3 VPN identification values. | 01-31-2013 |
