International Classification:

H04L 12/50

US Classification:

370388, 370380, 340 222, 340 244

Abstract:

A switch fabric for routing data has a switching stage configured between an input stage and an output stage. The input stage forwards the received data to the switching stage, which routes the data to the output stage, which transmits the data towards destinations. Each input device of the input stage transmits bids to the crossbar devices of the switching stage to request connections through the switching stage for routing the data to the output devices of the output stage. In one aspect, each crossbar device has (1) a bid arbitrator that determines whether to accept or reject each received bid, wherein, in response to a collision between multiple bids, the bid arbitrator accepts two or more of the colliding bids in a single time slot; and (2) memory for storing one or more accepted cells for the same output device, wherein the crossbar device can transmit grant signals for two or more accepted bids for the same output device in a single time slot. In another aspect, the bid arbitrator is configured to re-consider whether to accept a stored bid that was not accepted in a previous time slot.

International Classification:

H04L 12/28

US Classification:

370416, 370235

Abstract:

In one embodiment, queues associated with a first traffic class (FTC) are selected for service. Each FTC queue having at least one enqueued cell is identified as an occupied FTC queue, Where at least one FTC queue is provisioned for burst scheduling of multiple cells when serviced. An occupied FTC queue provisioned for burst scheduling is identified as a super-occupied FTC queue when the number of cells enqueued is greater than a specified number. Each occupied FTC queue is set as eligible for service based on a FTC scheduling algorithm. An eligible FTC queue is selected for service based on a corresponding sub-priority of each eligible FTC queue. Each FTC queue is assigned a sub-priority based on a service level of a connection associated with enqueued cells. When the super-occupied queue is serviced, the number of cells dequeued is based on a burst size.

US Classification:

370231, 370356, 370360, 370388, 370414

Abstract:

A switch fabric for routing data has a switching stage configured between an input stage and an output stage. The input stage forwards the received data to the switching stage, which routes the data to the output stage, which transmits the data towards destinations. In one aspect, at least one input port can be programmably configured to store data in two or more input routing queues that are associated with a single output port, and at least one output port can be programmably configured to receive data from two or more output routing queues that are associated with a single input port. In another aspect, the output stage transmits status information about the output stage to the input stage, which uses the status information to generate bids to request connections through the switching stage. In yet another aspect, the switching stage transmits a grant/rejection signal to the input stage identifying (1) whether each bid is accepted or rejected and, if rejected, (2) a reason for rejecting the bid, and the input stage determines how to react to a rejected bid based on the reason the bid was rejected.

Abstract:

A container according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides an inner wall and an outer wall wrapped therearound so as to define a double-wall container construction. A plurality of spacer elements are interposed between the inner and the outer walls so as to maintain a minimum thickness of an air space defined therebetween. In normal use conditions, the spacer elements do not contact the inner wall; however, the spacer elements prevent the outer wall from contacting the inner wall during non-standard use conditions.
