For example, in IPv6, the network device provides the computing device with a 64-bit prefix that the computing device then uses to generate a 128-bit unique IP address. The network device typically receives this prefix from another server located in the WAN. In case of a communication failure with the WAN, the network device may be unable to attain the correct prefix. Instead of assigning a random prefix that may cause a conflict if the computing device uses the incorrect prefix on the WAN, the network device may assign a different IP address using a different communication protocol—e.g., IPv4. The computing device can then use IPv4 to access both the LAN and the WAN without risking a conflict.	02-21-2013

In addition, since SEND_Z and rem_lpi_req are detected in parallel, embodiments are not concerned with the false detection of rem_lpi_req (before SEND_Z is detected) or the need to disable detection of rem_lpi_req (after SEND_Z is detected).	12-23-2010
20110022699	Method And System For PHY Initiated Wake-Up In Energy Efficient Ethernet Networks - One or both link partners coupled via an Ethernet link may comprise a PHY device operable to initiate a wake-up interval.

20100241923	Communication device employing LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) coding with Reed-Solomon (RS) and/or binary product coding - Communication device employing LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) coding with Reed-Solomon (RS) and/or binary product coding. An LDPC code is concatenated with a RS code or a binary product code (e.g., using row and column encoding of matrix formatted bits) thereby generating coded bits for use in generating a signal that is suitable to be launched into a communication channel. Various ECCs/FECs may be employed including a BCH (Bose and Ray-Chaudhuri, and Hocquenghem) code, a Reed-Solomon (RS) code, an LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) code, etc. and various implementations of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) may accompany the product coding and/or additional ECC/FEC employed. The redundancy of such coded signals as generated using the principles herein are in the range of approximately 20% thereby providing a significant amount of redundancy and a high coding gain. Soft decision decoding may be performed on such coded signal generated herein.	09-23-2010
20100241925	Forward Error Correction (FEC) scheme for communications - Forward error correction (FEC) scheme for communications. Appropriate selection/arrangement of bits of an information bit sequence undergo one or more types of subsequent encoding to generate a coded bit sequence that may subsequently undergo appropriate processing to generate a continuous time signal to be launched within a communication channel. In some embodiments, an information bit sequence, after being partitioning into a number of information bit groups, initially undergoes a first encoding within a first encoding module thereby generating a number of redundancy/parity bit groups (e.g., e.g., each redundancy/parity bit group corresponding to one of the information bit groups). Then, after performing any desired and appropriate selection/arrangement of bits within the redundancy/parity bit groups and the information bit groups, second encoding within a second encoding module is performed thereon to generate additional redundancy/parity bits. In addition, interleaving may be performing at various stages of the encoding processing.	09-23-2010

Various ECCs/FECs may be employed including a BCH (Bose and Ray-Chaudhuri, and Hocquenghem) code, a Reed-Solomon (RS) code, an LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) code, etc. The redundancy of such coded signals as generated using the principles herein is in the range of approximately 7%, and hard decision decoding may be performed on such coded signals generated herein. In accordance with decoding such signals, various bit decisions (within certain iterations) may be selectively ignored and/or reverted back to previous bit decisions.	09-23-2010
20110052216	Electronic dispersion compensation within optical communications using reconstruction - Electronic dispersion compensation within optical communications using reconstruction. Within a communication system that includes any optical network portion, segment, or communication link, etc., that optical component/portion of the communication system is emulated within the electronic domain. For example, in a communication device having receiver functionality, deficiencies that may be incurred by the at least one optical portion of the communication system are compensated in the electronic domain of the communication device having the receiver functionality by employing reconstruction logic and/or circuitry therein. Multiple decision feedback equalizers (DFE) circuitries, implemented in the electronic domain, may be employed to provide feedback from different portions of the receiver functionality in accordance with performing compensation of optical incurred deficiencies (e.g., dispersion, non-linearity, inter-symbol interference (ISI), etc.). Within a communication device's receiver portion, equalization and compensation is performed in the electronic domain as adapted for high speed applications and higher order modulation schemes.	03-03-2011
