摘要： A mechanism for operating a configurable switch to dynamically (i) route each of the data packets in an ordered string from a particular switch input port through a selected member output port of a hunt group; and (ii) route data packets which need not be transmitted in order from the input ports to available member output ports of the hunt group, as the members become available. A controller assigns each input port a service number, and directs member output ports to handle requests for ordered data packet transmissions from input ports with particular service numbers, such that the ordered transfers from an input port are handled by a single member of each group. The input port broadcasts, through the switch, a request to send ordered data packets through a particular hunt group and includes its service number in the request. The group member assigned to handle ordered transfers from the input port responds by identifying itself. Thereafter, the input port sends its ordered data packets to the identified member. Unordered data packets are queued and routed dynamically through the members of the group, as the members become available. In a local area network, data is sent from a source station to file servers using server group identifiers for multiple-route transfers or individual server identifiers for single-route transfers.

摘要： A packet data communication network employs a local switch, router or bridge device functioning to transfer packets between segments of a larger network. When packets enter this device, an address translation is performed to generate local source and destination addresses which are much shorter than the globally-unique addresses contained in the packet as dictated by the protocol. These local addresses are inserted in a header that is added to the packet, in addition to any header already contained in the packet. This added header travels with the packet through the local switch, router or bridge device, but then is stripped off before the packet is sent out onto another network segment. The added header may also contain other information, such as a local name for the source and destination segment (link), as well as status information that is locally useful, but not part of the packet protocol and not necessary for transmission with the packet throughout the network. Local congestion information, results of address translations, and end-of-message information, are examples of such status information.

摘要： A packet data communication network employs sequence numbers in message packets to identify the packets transmitted for a message, so that the order of packets can be checked, and so that the occurrence of lost or duplicated packets can be detected. A method of keeping track of these sequence numbers is provided. Any number below or above a bounded sequence number acceptance window is ignored (not accepted). Bit maps are established for the range of numbers within the bounded window, each bit representing a sequence number and the bit maps indexed by sequence number. One bit map is a received packet map, used to keep track of which sequence numbers have been received and thus to filter duplicate sequence numbers. An end-of-message bit map is used to record the positions of packets having end-of-message flags, and this is used with the received packet map to determine whether all packets of a message have been received, so that an end-of-message trigger can be generated. The sequence number and an end-of-message flag from an incoming packet are used to update these bit maps as each packet is received, then the updated bit maps used to determine the needed action. Two methods are described for tracking these sequence numbers. Both methods have good average-case performance. The first method uses an iterative loop and is more suited for software implementation. The second method uses table lookup to replace the iterative loop and is more suited for hardware implementation. This method has very good worst-case performance.

摘要： A method and apparatus for transferring data units between a host memory and a peripheral interface, the data units being subject to a flow control mechanism whereby some of said data units are flow controlled and some of said data units are not. Two transmit buffer memories are coupled to the peripheral interface; one for storing controlled data units to be transferred to the peripheral interface and the other for storing uncontrolled data units to be transferred to the peripheral interface. A single request buffer stores successive requests for data to be transferred from a host memory to either of the two transmit buffer memories. Data transfer circuitry transfers data from the host memory to either of the two transmit buffer memories in response to the requests stored in the request buffer. The data transfer circuitry is prevented from transferring further data from the host memory to the transmit buffer memory storing the controlled data units when it is determined that there is not enough room in the transmit buffer memory storing the controlled data units to accommodate another data unit. The data transfer circuitry is allowed, however, to transfer further data from the host memory to the transmit buffer memory storing the uncontrolled data units.

摘要： In a network node having a host system coupled to a network by an adapter, VC-specific congestion is detected and reported to the host system. The host memory includes rx slots or buffers, each corresponding to one of one or more supported slot types. Per-VC slots consumed counters are maintained to count slot consumption for each active VC. Free buffer FIFOs are maintained for each of the one or more slot types, which have a predetermined congestion threshold associated therewith. Entries in each free buffer FIFO correspond to an rx slot posted by the host system. When a new rx slot or buffer in host memory is to be allocated to an incoming cell received on a given VC, the slots consumed counter is compared to the predetermined congestion threshold. If they are equal, the VC is at threshold level and the incoming cell is discarded and a report is sent to the host system. If the slots consumed counter is below threshold, a new rx slot is allocated for the reception of the data and the slots consumed counter is incremented. If the VC is credit-based flow control enabled and the slots consumed counter is below threshold, a credit is returned. If the VC is credit-based flow control enabled and the slots consumed counter is greater than or equal to the threshold, the credit return is deferred until the counter falls below threshold.

摘要： A status report frequency mitigation mechanism for mitigating the frequency of status report generation for raw cells during transmit operations in a network node is presented. The status report frequency mitigation mechanism operates to adjust the frequency with which status reports for raw cells are generated by manipulating the End-of-Packet (EOP) bit in transmit slot descriptors associated with transmit slots containing raw cell data.

摘要： The present invention provides multiple grade, composite cemented carbide articles and a method of making such articles. The cemented carbide articles comprise carbides of different grades (or different compositions and/or microstructures) and, therefore, correspondingly different properties at different locations in the same article. The method of the present invention comprises filling different areas or portions of a die with metallurgical powders having different compositions and/or microstructures. The powder is then compressed as a single compact in the die cavity. The compressed compact is subsequently sintered to produce a multigrade cemented carbide article having composition and/or microstructural variations within the volume of the article.
