| 20090028140 | SWITCHING DEVICE, SWITCHING METHOD, AND SWITCH CONTROL PROGRAM - A switching device includes an input stage switch group | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090059928 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, ABSENT PACKET DETECTING METHOD AND ABSENT PACKET DETECTING PROGRAM - Any packet loss is detected very quickly by means of only a series of sequence number in a multi-path environment where a transmitter and a receiver are connected to each other by way of a plurality of networks when no inversion of sequence arises in any of the networks. A communication apparatus includes a plurality of sequence buffers arranged at each network to accumulate packets until a sequence acknowledgement and an absence detecting section adapted to determine the occurrence of an absence of a packet when one or more packets are accumulated in all the sequence buffers. With this arrangement, the absence detecting section of the receiver monitors the packets staying in the sequence guaranteeing buffer arranged in each of the network, paying attention to the characteristic that packets are stored in the sequence buffers of all the networks when a packet loss takes place. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090175281 | SWITCH DEVICE, SWITCHING METHOD AND SWITCH CONTROL PROGRAM - A switch device is composed of a switch portion | 07-09-2009 |
| 20100180062 | INTERNET CONNECTION SWITCH AND INTERNET CONNECTION SYSTEM | 07-15-2010 |
| 20110064089 | PCI EXPRESS SWITCH, PCI EXPRESS SYSTEM, AND NETWORK CONTROL METHOD - Provided are a first PCI-PCI bridge that handles Multi Root to connect to a plurality of root complexes; a second PCI-PCI bridge that connects to an endpoint; a virtual PCI Express switch that performs a switching process between the first and second PCI-PCI bridges; and a network control device that transfers data that is to be processed in the virtual PCI Express switch to an external switch through a network without passing through a PCI-PCI bridge. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110145647 | TROUBLE ANALYSIS APPARATUS - A trouble analysis apparatus is provided which includes: a system topology storing portion; an error detection information receiving portion which collects error detection information; and a trouble source determination portion which, based on both the error detection information collected by the error detection information receiving portion and system topology information stored in the system topology information storing portion, determines a trouble source functional element that is presumed as a functional element which is a source of a system trouble. Links included in the system topology information have information indicating spreading directions of error operations between the functional elements when trouble occurs. When the trouble source detection portion receives the error detection information with regard to multiple error functional elements, the trouble source determination portion sequentially selects one of the multiple error functional elements. The trouble source detection portion determines whether or not directions from the selected error functional element to other error functional elements conform to the spreading directions included in the system topology information. The trouble source determination portion determines the selected error functional element as the trouble source functional element when the spreading directions are conformable. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20110153906 | SWITCH AND NETWORK BRIDGE APPARATUS - A network system that is part of a main system includes: a first PCI express-network bridge with a first control unit and a first PCI express adapter terminating a first PCI express bus; and a second PCI express-network bridge connected to the first PCI express-network bridge through a network. The second PCI express-network bridge includes a second control unit and a second PCI express adapter terminating a second PCI express bus, wherein the first control unit detects a destination of a packet sent from the first PCI express adapter, searches a physical address of the destination from a packet encapsulating table, and encapsulates the packet in a frame so that the frame includes the physical address, and wherein the second control unit removes the encapsulation tagged to the packet, and transfers the packet to the destination through the second PCI express bus by referring to a PCI express configuration register. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110213902 | INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM - An information processing system includes a plurality of processors for executing processing according to a predetermined processing request sent from a different device; a switching device for performing data transfer between the individual processors and the different device; and a storage device which is connected to the switching device and enables data transfer to and from the individual processors. At least one of the processors includes a processing request storing unit for storing processing request data sent from the different device to the processor, into the storage device by data transfer. At least another one of the processors includes a processing request reading unit for reading the processing request data stored in the storage device from the storage device by data transfer. | 09-01-2011 |
