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 multiport network device includes output ports, internal rules checking logic, a port filter, and input ports. The input ports receive data frames and transfer the data frames to the internal rules checking logic and the port filter. The internal rules checking logic determines the appropriate output ports for the frame. At potentially the same time, the port filter determines priority information for the frame. The port filter informs the internal rules checking logic when it has completed determining the priority information by transmitting an end-of-frame signal to the internal rules checking logic. In response, if the internal rules checking logic has completed determining the output ports for the frame, it assembles a frame descriptor corresponding to the frame and transmits the frame descriptor to the appropriate output port(s).

摘要： A network device that controls the communication of data frames between stations includes a memory that stores frame pointers that point to addresses in an external memory. The data frames are stored in the external memory while the network device generates frame forwarding information for the respective data frames. The network device divides the available frame pointers into a number of categories corresponding to priorities associated with the data frames. When a frame is received at the network device, frame processing logic determines the priority of the data frame and checks whether a frame pointer corresponding to that particular priority is available. If no frame pointer corresponding to that priority is available, the multiport switch drops the data frame.

摘要： A multiport network device includes output port logic, priority logic, a memory, and memory logic. The output port logic generates output port data that identifies output ports to transmit received packets. The priority logic generates priority data that identifies priorities of the received packets. The memory stores the output port data from the output port logic and the priority data from the priority logic. The memory logic receives priority data relating to one of the received packets from the output port logic, determines whether the memory stores output port data relating to the packet, ignores the received priority data when the memory stores no output port data relating to the packet, and when the memory stores output port data relating to the packet, transmits the received priority data and the stored output port data to the identified output port.

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 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： An integrated multiport switch (IMS) in which one combinational logic and register arrangement is provided for executing similar media access control (MAC) functions for a plurality of switch ports. The current access state at each of a plurality of switch ports is maintained at a single state storage location, whereby access of a stored port MAC state and update thereof is simplified. Access to state storage in coordination with the single common combinational logic and register arrangement enables MAC functions for each of the plurality of ports to be performed on a time shared basis to maximize efficiency of use of chip resources and architecture space.

摘要： A multiport data network switch with each port associated with a media access controller (MAC) that is allocated a time slot in a repetitive sequence of clock cycles. A random number generator is coupled in common to each MAC to output a random number signal thereto. In response to a collision indicating signal, received at a port during a data transmission, the MAC outputs a retransmission retry signal in accordance with the random number signal that represents a number of delay cycles in which said transmission is delayed. The random number signal generator outputs an increasing multibit signal that is periodically reset. The MAC associated with each port is coupled in common to the shared random number signal generator and gains access thereto at a different respective time slot.

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.
