20080301319 | Methods, systems, and computer program products for providing accidental stack join protection - The subject matter described herein includes methods and systems for providing accidental stack join protection. According to one embodiment, a method includes connecting stacking ports of a first switch that is a member of a first stack and a second switch that is a member of a second stack and thereby joining the first and second stacks. The configurations of the first stack and of the second stack are detected and it is determined whether the detected configurations indicate a configuration mismatch between the first and second stacks. In response to determining that the detected configurations relate to a mismatch, the automatic joining of the first and second stacks is inhibited and the first and second stacks are allowed to continue switching traffic with their existing configurations. | 12-04-2008 |
20100054246 | CONVERGENCE OF MULTICAST TRAFFIC - A multicast data packet sent from a source node is received by a transit node. The multicast data packet includes a source address and a multicast group address. A hardware cache miss is detected at the transit node for the multicast data packet. The multicast data packet is hardware-flooded onto ports of the network. The flooding consists of forwarding a copy of the multicast data packet to neighbor nodes of the transit node based on virtual local area network (VLAN) membership. A cache-miss copy of the multicast data packet is sent to an out-of-line processing unit where it is processed in software. The processing includes establishing, via a hardware abstraction layer, a hardware cache entry for the multicast data packet. The cache-miss copy is not forwarded onto the network. | 03-04-2010 |

According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a packet forwarding device including at least one input/output (I/O) module. The at least one I/O module includes a longest prefix matching (LPM) table, an Internet protocol forwarding database (IPFDB) and the packet forwarding device includes an IP routing table and an IPFDB. When the I/O module operates in an LPM mode, the IPFDB on the I/O module is populated with entries corresponding to active hosts, the LPM table on the I/O module is populated from the IP routing table with routes learned from IP routing protocols, and layer 3 packets received by the I/O module are routed using the IPFDB and LPM table of the I/O module. An automatic mode-selection module determines a capacity of the LPM table on the I/O module. The automatic mode-selection module also determines a total number of IP routes stored in the IP routing table and determines a relationship between the total number of IP routes and the capacity of the LPM table. In response to determining that the total number of IP routes has a predetermined relationship with the capacity of the LPM table, the automatic mode-selection module also automatically switches the I/O module from the LPM mode to an IPFDB mode, where the IPFDB and the LPM table are populated with entries corresponding to active hosts and layer 3 packets received by the I/O module are routed using the IPFDB and LPM table of the I/O module. | 09-15-2011 |

20150052645 | Sweet Orange Tree Named 'OLL-8' - A new and distinct sweet orange clone ‘OLL-8’ has been developed from an unstable sweet orange selection, designated as ‘OLL’, using tissue culture techniques. Undeveloped ovules from fruit of selection ‘OLL’ were cultured in vitro to generate an embryogenic callus, from which multiple independent clones were regenerated via somatic embryogenesis. Regenerated plantlets (somaclones) were grafted to Swingle citrumelo rootstock and grown in the field for evaluation. Sweet orange clone ‘OLL-8’ was the most precocious bearing clone among the somaclone population, and thus the first to be selected for release, based on its stable propagation and outstanding qualities. ‘OLL-8’ produces high yields of high quality fruit, with exceptional flavor and juice color. It is expected to make a significant contribution to the sweet orange portfolio available to the not-from-concentrate juice producers in Florida and around the world. It also has potential as a fresh fruit cultivar, making it a dual-use fruit. | 02-19-2015 |
