摘要： Network units such as switches for use in a cascaded stack are organised to provide a cascade connection in the form of a dual unidirectional connection so that, in its ordinary configuration, there is at least one and preferably more than one unidirectional ring for each direction around the cascade, each ring including a respective port on each unit. For each ring, each port on a unit is connected by a respective link to a corresponding port on the preceding unit and the following unit. The units provide a self-healing operation in the event of various kinds of operational failure. The self-healing operation includes loop-back of packets in units adjacent the failure and bypass of a packet switching process for other units. The units include control logic for passing control frames containing status information relating to the units and links between them and for co-operation with a CPU to control a switching engine to perform the self-healing operation in accordance with that status information. The units forward on the cascade packets with headers that identify a destination port and the unit on which that port is located and also indicate which units have and have not been traversed by a packet.

摘要： A connecting unit for use in a system comprising a ‘stack’ of network communication units having a cascade connection has three ports having lines for forwarding and receiving data packets and for forwarding and receiving control messages. The connecting unit increments a first signal value defining an identification number received by way of a control message at a first port, provides the received signal value by way of a control message to the third port and provides the incremented signal value by way of a control message to the second port. The connecting unit also receives a second signal value defining an active unit count by way of a control message at the first port and provides the second signal value, incremented or not in dependence on a control message received at the third port, in a control message at the second port. The first signal values (UnitIDs) are used to establish the numbering of the units in the stack and the second signal values are used to compute a count of the ‘active’ units in the stack.

摘要： A stackable multi-port communication device for a packet-based data communication system, having a multiplicity of physical ports for the reception and dispatch of data in the form of packets, includes switch logic for selecting for a packet at least one destination selected from a multiplicity of ports which include a logical port common to a specified group of said physical ports. A cascade trunk logic, coupled to the switch logic, is used for determining, for the dispatch of a packet directed to said logical port, a selected port of said group of said physical ports; and a remote monitoring logic is used for forwarding a copy of the packet. The remote monitoring logic stores an indication of all the physical ports on the unit from which the copy may be forwarded by the remote monitoring logic and prevents the forwarding of the copy of the packet to any physical port which corresponds to the port selected by the cascade logic for the dispatch of said packet, whereby a packet which is forwarded from any of the specified group of physical ports is not duplicated by the remote monitoring logic.

摘要： A packet memory system including a memory space having a multiplicity of addressable memory locations for the storage of data packets, pointer control means for generating a write pointer which progressively defines where data is to be written to the memory space and a read pointer which progressively defines where data is to be read from the memory space and an ageing clock which defines a succession of intervals. The pointer control means generates a ‘current’ pointer and a ‘discard’ pointer and for each interval is operative to cause the ‘current’ pointer to correspond to an immediately previous value of the write pointer and to cause the discard pointer to correspond to an immediately previous value of the said current pointer. In this manner the portion of the memory space between the ‘discard’ pointer and the read pointer denotes data which has been in said memory space for at least two of said intervals. The system thereby defines ageing by means of pointers and avoids the ambiguities or inconvenience of known recycling ageing schemes.

摘要： In one embodiment, a method is described for detecting an operational failure between the network unit and an adjacent network unit in the stack; controlling the switching engine to redirect packets which would otherwise be sent from a particular port to the adjacent network unit to be forwarded from another port to be sent to a different network unit in the stack; and entering the switching engine into a bypass mode in response to control data indicating an operational failure between at least two other network units in the stack to cause packets to be forwarded without being re-directed by the switching engine.

摘要： A network unit for use in a switching fabric stores for each network unit in the switching fabric a respective change identification number. In each unit this number is incremented on each change of state. The unit broadcasts protocol packets which indicates incremented change identification numbers; receives corresponding packets from the other units; and determines when the last change identification numbers in the table are the same for all the units. This allows a control based on whether all the units know that all the other units have been updated in response to all the changes of state in the fabric. The network unit can also participate in a routing algorithm, and particularly a shortest path algorithm, within a fabric that constitutes a single network entity.

摘要： A packet-switched network system comprises a multiplicity of multi-port network units each of which has first and second ports and other ports and transmission links coupling the first and second ports of said unit in a closed ring. The first and second ports and transmission links support duplex transmission of Ethernet data packets. Each unit transmits from said first and second ports packets including selected information enabling on reception of a packet at any of the units a determination of a number of hops from unit to unit around said ring said packet has made. Each unit has a forwarding database and in response to the said selected information controls the transmission of said packets in two directions around said ring, and each unit causes discard of packets which have according to said selected information circumnavigated the ring.

摘要： A trunk connection to a stack of network switches is coupled to physical ports distributed among the switches. A switch has an internal logical port for a protocol engine. A packet received by way of the trunk at a port on a switch which does not host the protocol engine is sent over a cascade connection to the host switch with a tag that is interpreted within the host switch as if the packet cam from the logical port. The tagging and interpretation distinguishes between packets which might or might not be intended for the protocol engine and did not arrive by way of the trunk from packets which are intended for the protocol engine and have been received by way of the trunk.
