US Patent:

20060161983, Jul 20, 2006

Filed:

Jan 20, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/039219

Inventors:

Scott Cothrell - Cedar Park TX, US
Aaron Richardson - Cedar Park TX, US

International Classification:

H04L 12/56

US Classification:

726023000, 370401000

Abstract:

A method for inline intrusion detection includes receiving a packet at a network gateway, storing the packet, and assigning an identifier to the packet. The method also includes transmitting a copy of the packet and the identifier from the network gateway to an intrusion detection system and analyzing the copy of the packet by the intrusion detection system to determine whether the packet includes an attack signature and communicating a reply message from the intrusion detection system to the network gateway. The reply message includes the identifier and is indicative of the results of the analysis. The size of the reply message is less than the size of the packet.

Appl. No.:

11/566149

Inventors:

Jonathan Randall Hinkle - Raleigh NC, US
Aaron Mitchell Richardson - Clemmons NC, US
Ganesh Balakrishnan - Morrisville NC, US

International Classification:

G06F 12/06

US Classification:

711170, 711118, 711E12084

Abstract:

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for caching fully buffered memory (FBM) data. A circuit card is connected to an FBM socket that is configured to receive a FBM. An interface module communicates with a memory controller and at least one FBM via the FBM socket through a plurality of electrical interfaces. A cache controller apportions memory space in the cache memory between each FBM of the at least one FBM according to an apportionment policy. A cache memory transparently stores data from the at least one FBM and the memory controller and transparently provides the data to the memory controller. The cache controller manages coherency between the at least one FBM and the cache memory.
