20110249682 | SCALABLE DISTRIBUTED USER PLANE PARTITIONED TWO-STAGE FORWARDING INFORMATION BASE LOOKUP FOR SUBSCRIBER INTERNET PROTOCOL HOST ROUTES - Communication sessions are each homed on one of a plurality of line cards in a network element. Packets received by the network element are processed on the home card before being transmitted to a subscriber device, such as a mobile phone or laptop computer.

The packet is switched within the network element from the receiving line card, i.e., the trunk card, to the home card. The network element identifies the home card by performing a lookup in a table duplicated on all the line cards using the least significant bits of the IP address in the packet. Using these bits to organize the table limits the size of the table and balances load among the line cards. | 10-13-2011 |

20120084847 | Secure Provisioning of Resources in Cloud Infrastructure - Provisioning resources in public cloud infrastructure to perform at least part of electronic design automation (EDA) tasks on the public cloud infrastructure. The provisioning of resources is handled by a cloud provisioning system that is generally operated and maintained by an EDA tool developer using a provisioning credential. After the resources are provisioned, the cloud provisioning system places user key on the provisioned resources. Once the user key is placed on the provisioned resources, the cloud provisioning system has only limited access or no access to the provisioned resources. Instead, a user client device takes over the control of the provisioned resources by using a user's access credential. The provisioning credential is retained by the EDA tool developer and is not released to the user. Similarly, the access credential is retained by the user and not released to the EDA tool developer. In this way, the EDA tool developer can retain control of the resources deployed for the EDA tasks while ensuring that the user's information associated with the EDA tasks is secure. | 04-05-2012 |
