摘要： Provided are methods and apparatus that enforce zoning rules by separately employing source and destination information. In certain embodiments, information uniquely identifying network destinations is provided on a destination CAM. In these embodiments, each destination identified in the destination CAM has an associated zoning decision vector provided in a results memory. The vector provides specific zoning decisions (permit or deny transmission) for specific sources on the network. The specific zoning decision to be applied to a frame under consideration is selected from a zoning decision vector by using source information taken from the frame.

摘要： Methods and devices are provided for non-disruptive monitoring of network traffic through one or more ports of a Fibre Channel network device. Preferred embodiments of the invention are used in conjunction with the switched port analyzer (“SPAN”) and/or remote SPAN (“RSPAN”) features. SPAN mode operation allows traffic through any Fibre Channel interface of a network device to be replicated and delivered to a single port on the same network device. Ingress SPAN allows the monitoring of some or all packets that ingress a specified port or ports. Egress SPAN allows the monitoring of some or all packets that egress a specified port or ports. RSPAN allows the delivery of the replicated traffic to a port on a remote network device. Filtering may be applied, for example, to SPAN packets having selected virtual storage area network numbers.
摘要翻译：提供了方法和设备，用于通过光纤通道网络设备的一个或多个端口对网络流量进行非中断监控。本发明的优选实施例与交换端口分析器（“SPAN”）和/或远程SPAN（“RSPAN”）特征结合使用。 SPAN模式操作允许通过网络设备的任何光纤通道接口的流量被复制并传送到同一网络设备上的单个端口。 Ingress SPAN允许监视进入指定端口的某些或所有数据包。出口SPAN允许监视某些或所有出口指定端口或端口的数据包。 RSPAN允许将复制的流量传送到远程网络设备上的端口。例如，可以将过滤应用于具有选择的虚拟存储区域网络号的SPAN分组。

摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for alleviating deadlock and controlling congestion in a network such as a fibre channel network. Techniques are provided for detecting stalled frames at a fibre channel switch. Reserve credits are released when stalled frames are detected. In some instances, reserve credits are released after a predetermined period of time. Reserve credits allow transmission to effectively reduce deadlock and congestion. Reserve credits are particularly effective in reducing deadlock resulting from transient loops in a fibre channel network.

摘要： According to the present invention, methods and apparatus are provided to improve the techniques and mechanisms for forwarding packets at a fiber channel switch. A combined area table/domain table (ATDT) is accessed using destination information associated with a fiber channel packet. Area/port or domain information can be used to address entries in the ATDT. Each entry provides one or more paths to a given destination. Traffic shaping, load balancing, and other policy based forwarding considerations can be applied.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are provided for controlling congestion in a network such as a fiber channel network. Techniques are provided for detecting congestion at a shared resource such as a network node. When a controller sends data to a shared resource, the delay between sending the data and receiving a credit is measured. If the delay is significant, it is assumed that the path towards the destination associated with the data is congested and subsequent traffic from the port associated with the data is blocked.

摘要： A method and apparatus for implementing Quality of Service (QoS) policy in a data communications network. An active flow content addressable memory (CAM) contains entries of flow information for each active flow of packets passing through a given node of the data communications network. The CAM has associated with each entry a packet counter, a byte counter, a token bucket, and a contract value. Each flow is assigned one of a plurality of output queues and optionally at least one output threshold value. A token bucket algorithm is employed on each flow to determine whether packets from that flow exceed the contract value. Such packets may be dropped or optimally modified to reflect an alternate output queue and/or alternate threshold before being sent to the selected output queue for transmission from the node.

摘要： A content addressable memory (CAM or L3 Table) contains flow information for each active flow of packets passing through a given node of a data communications network. The CAM has associated with each entry (corresponding to each active flow) a packet counter, a byte counter, a token bucket and a contract value. Each flow is assigned one of a plurality of output queues and optionally at least one output threshold value. A token bucket algorithm is employed on each flow to determine whether packets from that flow exceed the contract value. Such packets may be dropped or optimally modified to reflect an alternate output queue and/or alternate threshold before being sent to the selected output queue for transmission from the node. In another aspect an access control list CAM (ACLCAM) contains masked flow information. The ACLCAM provides an index to internal token bucket counters and preconfigured contract values of an aggregate flow table which becomes affected by the packet statistics. In this way flows are aggregated for assignment of output queues and thresholds, possible dropping and possible modification of packets. In another aspect the CAM contains active flow information, the ACLCAM and the aggregate flow table are combined in one system and used to produce in parallel a pair of traffic rate limiting and prioritizing decisions for each packet. The two results are then resolved to yield a single result.

摘要： A hardware search engine facility is provided to allow CPU search and update of a Forwarding Table CAM under the control of software running on the CPU. The hardware search engine provides one or more comparand-mask pairs which allow for a match, exclusion or magnitude comparison on specific entry values and/or the option to ignore or “don't care” certain bits of the entry. Control registers may be set in software to specify a start address and stop address in the CAM for the search. An indication of valid or invalid entries may be provided as well. Once the search is initiated by software, the search engine will read the entries sequentially starting from the programmed start address. It will perform a compare using the comparand-mask pair and attempt to identify a match. The locations in the CAM which match the search criteria may be put into a CPU-accessible memory. If the memory fills up before it can be read by the software, the search may be halted until the memory is emptied. A programmable action may instead, or in addition, be set to take place in the event of a match. Such programmable actions may include, but are not limited to, marking the entry, deleting the entry, change status bits corresponding to the entry, rewriting some of the entry, and the like.
摘要翻译：提供硬件搜索引擎设备，以便在CPU上运行的软件控制下CPU搜索和更新转发表CAM。硬件搜索引擎提供一个或多个比较屏蔽对，其允许对特定输入值进行匹配，排除或幅度比较和/或忽略或“不关心”条目的某些位的选项。软件中可以设置控制寄存器，以指定搜索的CAM中的起始地址和停止地址。也可以提供有效或无效的条目的指示。一旦搜索由软件启动，搜索引擎将从编程的起始地址顺序读取条目。它将使用比较掩码对执行比较，并尝试识别匹配。符合搜索条件的CAM中的位置可以放入CPU可访问的存储器中。如果在软件读取之前内存填满，则可能会停止搜索，直到内存清空为止。可以替代地或另外设置可编程动作，以在匹配的情况下进行。这样的可编程动作可以包括但不限于标记条目，删除条目，对应于条目的改变状态位，重写条目中的一些等等。

摘要： Methods and apparatus for performing encryption for data at rest at a port of a network device such as a switch are disclosed. Specifically, when data is received from a host during a write to a storage medium such as a disk, the data is encrypted by the port prior to transmitting the encrypted data to the storage medium. Similarly, when a host attempts to read data from the storage medium, the port of the network device receives the encrypted data from the storage medium, decrypts the data, and transmits the decrypted data to the host. In this manner, encryption and decryption of data at rest are supported by the port of the network device.
