20100306483 | Data Processor with Efficient Scalable Queuing and Method Therefor - A data processor includes a single-token-record memory, a sequence circuit, and a memory controller. The single-token-record memory has a plurality of first storage locations. The sequencer circuit is coupled to the single-token-record memory. The sequencer circuit, responsive to a request to place a token in a tail-end of a queue, either stores said token into one of the plurality of first storage locations if the single-token-record memory stores no greater than a predetermined number of tokens associated with the tail-end of the queue, or stores the token with at least one additional token and a pointer to a next storage location into one of a plurality of second storage locations otherwise. The memory controller is coupled to the sequencer circuit to store the token with the at least one additional token and the pointer in a location of a multi-token-record memory having the plurality of second storage locations. | 12-02-2010 |

20110019545 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTO DETECTION OF AAL5 TYPE FRAMES FOR VCC AND VPC SWITCHES - In Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) communications networks, certain congestion control features, such as Partial Packet Discard (PPD) and Early Packet Discard (EPD), operate on ATM cells that have been segmented from ATM Adaptation Layer #5 (AAL5) frames (packets). AAL5 frames are automatically detected by observing transitions of an indicator in the ATM cell header unique to AAL5 traffic. Automatic detection of AAL5 traffic allows enablement of packet-aware cell discarding techniques such as PPD and EPD on a Virtual Channel Connection (VCC) basis, whether in a switch for a VCC or for a Virtual Path Connection (VPC) to which the VCC belongs. | 01-27-2011 |
