20140307562 | PACKET LOSS COUNTER - A method for communication includes generating in a transmitter a sequence of data packets for transmission to a receiver. Control packets are inserted into the sequence in the transmitter, such that a given control packet is indicative of a count of the data packets that are transmitted in a time interval that ends with a previous control packet that precedes the given control packet. The sequence, including the data packets and the inserted control packets, is transmitted to the receiver. | 10-16-2014 |
20090220229 | TRANSPARENT SWITCHING FABRIC FOR MULTI-GIGABIT TRANSPORT - A communication apparatus includes at least one input port, multiple output ports, at least one Serial-to-Parallel (S/P) converter and at least one Parallel-to-Serial (P/S) converter. The S/P converter is operative to receive from the input port an input data stream that is to be cross-connected to a destination output port, and to separate the input data stream into multiple sub-streams. Each of the switching planes includes at least one input for receiving a respective sub-stream from the S/P converter; multiple outputs, each output associated with a respective one of the output ports; and switching circuitry, which is configured to switch the respective sub-stream to the output that is associated with the destination output port. The P/S converter is coupled to the outputs of the switching planes so as to combine the multiple sub-streams switched by the switching circuitry into a combined output data stream at the destination output port. | 09-03-2009 |
