| 20120023340 | NETWORK SWITCH WITH POWER OVER ETHERNET - A network switch apparatus includes a network switch housing, a first network port, a second network port, a first instrument port configured to communicate with a monitoring tool, wherein the first instrument port comprises a first power over Ethernet port configured to receive power, a transformer coupled to the first instrument port, and an active component inside the network switch housing, wherein the active component is configured to receive packets from the first network port, and pass at least some of the packets from the first network port to the first instrument port. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20110211443 | NETWORK SWITCH WITH BY-PASS TAP - A network switch apparatus includes a first network port, a second network port, a first inline port, a second inline port, wherein the first and second inline ports are for communication with a pass-through device, a packet switch, and a by-pass device configured to operate in a first mode of operation, wherein in the first mode of operation, the by-pass device is configured to pass a first packet received at the first network port to the packet switch. The by-pass device is configured to switch from the first mode of operation to a second mode of operation upon an occurrence of a condition, and wherein in the second mode of operation, the by-pass device is configured to transmit a second packet received at the first network port to the second network port without passing the second packet to the packet switch. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20110058566 | PACKET SWITCH APPLIANCE WITH A PACKET SWITCHING AND PACKET PROCESSING DAUGHTER BOARD - A packet switch appliance for connection to a packet switching network, the packet switch appliance has a motherboard that includes a processor, a network switch chip, and a connector. The packet switch appliance also includes a daughter board configured to be removably connected to the motherboard through the connector. The daughter board may include one or more of a network switch chip and a processor unit. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110044349 | PACKET SWITCH AND METHOD OF USE - The present invention relates to a packet switch and a packet switching method. An example embodiment of the present invention comprises at least three network ports, at least one instrument port, a mux-switch, a packet switch fabric, and an address table. The embodiment updates the address table to include the source address of each ingress packet of each network port and associate the source address with that network port. The mux-switch routes the ingress packet traffic of each network port according to the identity of the network port so that at least a copy of the packet traffic of one of the network ports is routed to an instrument port. The packet switch fabric routes the packets from the instrument ports to the network ports according the destination address of the packet and the identity of the network port that is associated with the destination address as recorded in the address table. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20100209047 | MULTIMODE FIBER TAP FOR A LRM CONNECTION - A device for processing data being optically transmitted via a LRM connection includes an optical splitter for splitting an input signal into a first output signal and a second output signal, the optical splitter having an operating wavelength with a value that is between 1260 nm and 1355 nm, wherein the optical splitter has an input end for receiving the input signal, a first output end for outputting the first output signal, and a second output end for outputting the second output signal. | 08-19-2010 |
