Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080253370MAINTENANCE OF BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION FOR TRAFFIC INCLUDING MULTICASTS - Multicast packets that are received on a port of a network device and forwarded to multiple output ports are stored in memory and respective primary control entries which define them are converted to secondary control entries defining multiple unicast packets before a scheduling algorithm is applied. The packets are reconstituted after the application of the scheduling algorithm has been applied to the control entries. For VPLS packets that are received on a single port and replicated multiple times on one or more output ports, a replication database may be used in conjunction with a replication engine to convert the control entry for a received packet into multiple control entries defining unicast packets for each of the destination ports before the scheduling algorithm is applied. This method is applicable to the replication of packets onto a Virtual Private LAN.10-16-2008

20110041016MEMORY ERRORS AND REDUNDANCY - Redundancy including extra rows and/or columns of memory cells is added to the memory, and ECC parity is used to detect errors. When an error occurs at a location the first time, it is assumed to be a soft error, the data is corrected in this location, and the address of the erroneous cell (e.g., the failed address) is stored in a list. When another error occurs, it is determined whether its failed address is on the stored list. If it is not, then the error is again assumed to be a soft error, the data at this location is corrected, and the failed address is added to the stored address list, etc. If, however, the failed address is already in the stored failed address list, the error is considered either a latent error or VTR, and is repaired on the fly using on-chip redundancy.02-17-2011
