摘要： A network switch includes network switch ports, each including a port filter configured for detecting user-selected attributes from a received layer 2 type data frame. Each port filter, upon detecting a user-selected attribute in a received layer 2 type data frame, sends a signal to a switching module indicating the determined presence of the user-selected attribute, enabling the switching module to generate a switching decision based on the corresponding user-selected attribute and based on a corresponding user-defined switching policy. The switching policy may specify a priority class, or a guaranteed quality of service (e.g., a guaranteed bandwidth), ensuring that the received layer 2 type data frame receives the appropriate switching support. The user-selected attributes for the port filter and the user-defined switching policy for the switching module are programmed by a host processor. Hence, the integrated network switch is able to perform advanced switching operations for layer 2 type data packets to ensure quality of service requirements, independent of priority information specified in the layer 2 type data packets, based on the user-selected attributes in the layer 2 type data packets and the user-defined switching policies established for the switching module.

摘要： A centralized policy server sends policy messages, that describe network management policy, to network switches. Each policy message includes a packet attribute that enables a network switch to uniquely identify a received data packet, and either a priority level or network switch action that describes the switching operation to be performed by the network switch. The network switches are configured for implementing the network management policy by storing switching actions for prescribed data packets, and templates that specify frame data parameters for identifying the prescribed data packets. Each network switch, configured for performing layer 2 and layer 3 switching in an Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) network without blocking of incoming data packets, includes in each network switch port a packet classifier module configured for classifying a received data packet based on a template generated based on the policy messages. In particular, the network switch stores a plurality of user-programmable templates, each configured for identifying a corresponding class of data packet.

摘要： A network switch, configured for performing layer 2 and layer 3 switching in an Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) network without blocking of incoming data packets, includes a network switch port having a filter (i.e., a packet classifier module) configured for evaluating an incoming data packet on an instantaneous basis, immediately upon receipt at the network switch port. The filter performs simultaneous comparisons between the incoming data stream of the data packet and multiple templates configured for identifying respective data protocols. Each template is composed of a plurality of min terms, wherein each min term specifies a prescribed comparison operation within a selected data byte of the incoming data packet. The templates may be programmed by a user and stored in an internal min term memory. Moreover, the multiple simultaneous comparisons enable the network switch to perform layer 3 switching for 100 Mbps and gigabit networks without blocking in the network switch.

摘要： A network device includes a port filter, a first logic device, and a second logic device. The port filter receives a data frame and generates first data relating to the data frame. The first logic device generates second data for the received data frame. The second logic device receives the first data and the second data, determines whether the first data contains a valid first priority value, and assigns the valid first priority value to the data frame when the first data contains the valid first priority value. When the first data does not contain a valid first priority value, the second logic device determines whether the second data contains a valid second priority value, and assigns the valid second priority value to the data frame when the second data contains the valid second priority value.

摘要： A multiport switching device includes an Internal Rules Checker (IRC) that determines forwarding addresses for packets received at the device. The determined forwarding addresses may include a new MAC destination address that is to substituted for the MAC destination address of the received packet. In one implementation, the new MAC destination address is transmitted from the IRC to the dequeuing logic by transmitting pairs of adjacent words through the switch output queues. In other implementations, the new MAC destination address is transmitted from the IRC to the dequeuing logic by transmitting an index field to the output queuing logic or by having the IRC write the new MAC destination address directly to memory.

摘要： A network device includes a receive module, a port filter, an action generator, processing logic, and a transmit module. The receive module receives a packet and detects whether the packet includes a router media access control (MAC) destination address. The port filter stores Internet Protocol (IP) source and destination addresses, determines whether an IP destination address associated with the packet has been stored, and identifies policy handling information for the packet. The action generator generates, based on the policy handling information, forwarding information for the packet. The forwarding information includes at least a port vector, and, when the IP destination address associated with the packet has been stored, a replacement MAC destination address. The processing logic determines a replacement MAC destination address when the IP destination address associated with the packet has not been stored. The transmit module transmits the packet based on the replacement MAC destination address.

摘要： A multiport switch includes an action generator that creates action tags describing how data frames received by the switch are to be forwarded. A port filter generates policy equations and a differential services code point (DSCP) signal for the received packets. A decoder and an action memory in the action generator choose the highest priority policy equation and use the policy equation to look up priority information for the data frame. A state machine in the action generator receives the DSCP signal. A result tag interface receives a DSCP field from the state machine and the priority information from the action memory. Based on these signals, the result tag interface constructs the final action tag.

摘要： A network device that controls the communication of data frames between stations performs an admission control procedure to reduce congestion on the network device. The network device receives data frames on its receive ports. When the network device detects congestion, the network device enables admission control and reads a portion of a data frame to determine the nature of the data included in the data frame. The network device then determines whether to drop the received data frame based on the nature of the data included in the data frame. The network device may also determine a priority associated with the data frame and selectively drop data frames based on the nature of the data included in the data frame and the priority.
