摘要： Method and apparatus providing connection-oriented services for packet switched data communications networks. Directory services include distributed discovery of MAC addresses and protocol alias addresses. Topology services include a link state topology exchange among switches, which provides each switch with a complete topology graph of the network. This enables an access switch receiving a data packet to determine a complete path from a source end system to a destination end system. Another service includes resolution of broadcast frames to unicast frames, in order to reduce the amount of broadcast traffic. Policy restrictions may be applied prior to connection setup. Path determination services enable multiple paths from a source to a destination. Connection management includes source routed mapping of connections on the desired path. A distributed call rerouting service is provided wherein if a link on an active path fails, each switch receives a topology change notification and unmaps any connection involving the failed link. A broadcast/unknown service provides restricted flooding of nonresolvable packets. Furthermore, connection-oriented switching is provided based on the source and destination MAC addresses as a connection identifier. Still further, resolution of networks outside the switch domain is enabled by access switches listening for network and server route advertisements and maintaining best routes to said networks and servers. The best route metrics may be combined with best path metrics to determine a path from a first access switch to an egress switch connected to the external network.

摘要： A fault tolerant system management bus architecture for a networking chassis includes a primary path for transmission of system management information and a secondary path for transmission of system management information in the event of failure of the primary path. The primary path includes a first microprocessor controller, coupled between the first system management bus and the processor located on a networking module. The secondary path for transmission of system management information includes a second microprocessor controller system and a dual-port memory. The second microprocessor control system is coupled to the second system management bus and to the dual-port memory. The dual-port memory is also coupled to the processor located on the networking module. The dual-port memory provides the interface between the CPU in the networking module and the second microprocessor control system, thus providing isolation and allowing the memory to be accessible by either processor. Environmental information and module identification information are stored in the dual-port memory. In the event of failure of the primary transmission path, the environmental information and module identification information can be accessed and transmitted over the backup transmission path.
摘要翻译：用于网络机箱的容错系统管理总线架构包括用于传输系统管理信息的主要路径和用于在主路径故障的情况下传输系统管理信息的次路径。主路径包括耦合在第一系统管理总线和位于网络模块上的处理器之间的第一微处理器控制器。用于传输系统管理信息的辅助路径包括第二微处理器控制器系统和双端口存储器。第二微处理器控制系统耦合到第二系统管理总线和双端口存储器。双端口存储器还耦合到位于网络模块上的处理器。双端口存储器提供网络模块中的CPU和第二微处理器控制系统之间的接口，从而提供隔离并允许任一处理器访问存储器。环境信息和模块识别信息存储在双端口存储器中。在主传输路径发生故障的情况下，环境信息和模块识别信息可以通过备份传输路径被访问和传输。
