20080320488 | CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD FOR REDUCED POWER CONSUMPTION IN NETWORK DEVICE - This invention provides a data transfer control device for carrying out data transfer using a plurality of transfer resources. The data transfer control device comprises a transfer resource management portion that set the plurality of transfer resources to either one of a transfer-enabled state whereby data transfer is enabled and a plurality of standby states on the basis of a load on the data transfer control device and that manages the plurality of transfer resources so as to assume the set operating status; and a load distribution portion that distributes the data to transfer resources that have been set to the transfer-enabled state. The plurality of standby states are states which data transfer is disabled and which mutually differ at a minimum in terms of at least one of power consumption level and transition time to the transfer-enabled state. | 12-25-2008 |
20090063679 | NETWORK RELAY APPARATUS - A network relay apparatus which conducts data transfer by using a plurality of network LSIS includes a transfer engine unit having at least two network LSIs and a central control unit which controls the operation state of the network relay apparatus. The transfer engine unit includes the network LSIs capable of changing over at least one of a clock and an operation which differ every function block, a load judgment unit for judging a load laid upon each of function blocks in the network LSI, and a frequency voltage control unit for individually changing over at least one of the clock and operation voltage supplied to each function block on the basis of the load judged by the load judgment unit. | 03-05-2009 |

The transfer engine unit includes the network LSIs capable of changing over at least one of a clock and an operation which differ every function block, a load judgment unit for judging a load laid upon each of function blocks in the network LSI, and a frequency voltage control unit for individually changing over at least one of the clock and operation voltage supplied to each function block on the basis of the load judged by the load judgment unit. | 05-05-2011 |
20110228792 | NETWORK SWITCHING DEVICE - Network switching arrangements including: setting an operation mode of a target switching block to a operation mode that is different from an operation mode of a first switching block while the first switching block is handling a switching process, the target switching block being one switching block selected from second switching blocks; performing a switchover process including starting the switching process using the target switching block instead of the first switching block, after completion of setting the operation mode of the target switching block; and copying the switching information held by the first switching block to the target switching block, prior to starting the switching process using the target switching block, after completion of setting the operation mode of the target switching block. | 09-22-2011 |

20130269031 | NETWORK SYSTEM, NETWORK RELAY METHOD, AND NETWORK RELAY DEVICE - A history management unit within a discard determination unit manages transmission and reception packets related to a resource to be protected for each of users, and records communication history information for users high in use frequency through stateful measurement. A priority determination unit determines the priority of a communication on a per received packet basis on the basis of communication history information. A load determination unit determines a load level of the resource to be protected, and combines the load level with the priority of the communication determined on the per received packet basis. A discard rate determination unit and a packet discard unit implement forwarding processing, determine the priority of the communication on the per user basis, and discard communications low in the priority at a high ratio. | 10-10-2013 |
