Methods And Structure For Accounting For Connection Resets Between Peripheral Component Interconnect Express Bridges And Host Devices

US Patent:
2013032, Dec 5, 2013
Filed:
May 29, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/482693
Inventors:
Robert E. Ward - Colorado Springs CO, US
Brian Lessard - Colorado Springs CO, US
Terry Altmayer - Monument CO, US
Assignee:
LSI CORPORATION - Milpitas CA
International Classification:
G06F 13/36
US Classification:
710306
Abstract:
Methods and structure for accounting are provided for enhancing communications via a PCIE bridge. The bridge comprises a host interface that manages communications with a host device, and a PCIE interface that provides Memory Read Requests (MRds) to a PCIE device and receives Memory Read Completions (MRCs) from the PCIE device. The bridge also comprises a control unit that inserts tag information into the MRds. The control unit detects a reset of the host interface and revises the tag information inserted into the MRds responsive to detecting the reset. Additionally, the control unit analyzes tag information of received MRCs to determine whether it is the revised tag information or is old tag information, returns completion data from MRCs having the revised tag information to the host device, and discards completion data from received MRCs having the old tag information.

Intercepting Mobile Telephone Communications

US Patent:
2006020, Sep 21, 2006
Filed:
Mar 21, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/083928
Inventors:
Robert Ward - Colorado Springs CO, US
Andrew McArthur - Colorado Springs CO, US
International Classification:
G01R 31/08, H04L 12/28, H04Q 7/00
US Classification:
370252000, 370329000, 370395100
Abstract:
Monitoring mobile telephone signaling carried by an ATM network to determine channels of interest. ATM cells of the ATM network are intercepted to monitor a UMTS terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN). The intercepted ATM cells are automatically analyzed to obtain a correspondence between a static Node B channel and a different private channel of the ATM network that is used to carry traffic to/from the Node B. The correspondence and other correspondences may be stored in a lookup table. A Node B's VPI.VCI, a VPI.VCI of a connected number may be extracted from a connection message. A call reference may be extracted from the connection message and stored in association with the correspondence. A connection breakdown message may be detected and, based on the release message matching the previously stored call reference, the stored correspondence that is associated with the call reference may be deleted.

Method And Apparatus To Monitor And Analyze Network Information Of An Inverse Multiplexed Asynchronous Transfer Mode Network

US Patent:
7460541, Dec 2, 2008
Filed:
Sep 24, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/948681
Inventors:
Robert Geoffrey Ward - Colorado Springs CO, US
Allan Wallace Dodge - Colorado Springs CO, US
Assignee:
Agilent Technologies, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H04L 12/56
US Classification:
3703951
Abstract:
A method and apparatus to monitor and analyze inverse multiplexing over asynchronous transfer mode (IMA) links of an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network; and determine statistics regarding cells transmitted through the IMA links. An operational status of one or more individual links of one or more monitored groups of IMA links is also determined. An apparatus to determine statistics regarding one or more IMA multiplexed links of an ATM network includes one or more IMA link pre-processors to process cells from the respective one or more IMA links according to a type of the cells; a select and collapse unit to select which of the one or more IMA links to receive the processed cells from, and collapse the processed cells of the selected IMA links into one stream; and an aligner to receive the one stream of processed cells from the select and collapse unit and determine statistics regarding the processed cells of the one stream.

Method And Apparatus To Align And Standardize Packet Based Parallel Interfaces

US Patent:
7701977, Apr 20, 2010
Filed:
Apr 10, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/082380
Inventors:
Eugene Saghi - Colorado Springs CO, US
Richard L. Solomon - Colorado Springs CO, US
Robert E. Ward - Colorado Springs CO, US
Assignee:
LSI Corporation - Milpitas CA
International Classification:
H04J 3/00
US Classification:
370476, 370464
Abstract:
A packet alignment system for pre-processing/aligning incoming packets may comprise one or more registers for receiving control signals and data signals. An aligner may cyclically shift said data signals to form a plurality of shifted data words. A plurality of pipe registers may collect and generate an adjusted control signal for each one of the plurality of shifted data words. A filtering logic may identify one of the plurality of shifted data words as a desired aligned data word. The filter logic may also be configured for registering header data, payload data and ECRC data contained in the desired aligned data word in a header register, a payload register and an ECRC register, respectively. An output interface may generate an outgoing signal and provide data from at least one of the header register, the payload register and the ECRC register.

Apparatus And Method For Low Cost, Multi-Port Protocol Analysis And Monitoring

US Patent:
7535923, May 19, 2009
Filed:
Feb 2, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/047629

Robert Geoffrey Ward - Colorado Springs CO, US
Assignee:
Agilent Technologies, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
H04J 3/16, H04J 3/00, H04L 12/50, G06F 15/173
US Classification:
370465, 370378, 370379, 370381, 370476, 709224
Abstract:
A multiport concentrator concentrates network data from different links in a network and carried on a plurality of lower speed lines into a stream of data carried on a higher speed line. A measurement system determines network statistics from the stream of data carried by the higher speed line.

Filed:
Dec 14, 2004
Appl. No.:
11/010259
Inventors:
Peter J. Walsh - Colorado Springs CO, US
Robert Geoffrey Ward - Colorado Springs CO, US
Roger William Ruhnow - Monument CO, US
Assignee:
Agilent Technologies, Inc. - Santa Clara CA

H04L 12/26, H04J 3/02
US Classification:
370252, 37039551, 370540, 455 6711
Abstract:
A concentrator multiplexes network data from different links in a network and carried on a plurality of lower speed lines into multiplexed network data carried on a higher speed line. A line interface module demultiplexes the multiplexed network data carried on the higher speed line, assembles the demultiplexed network data into cells, and reassembles cells into packets for analysis. A single distributed network analyzer analyzes the reassembled network data.
