System And Method For End-To-End Automatic Configuration Of Network Elements Using A Link-Level Protocol
view source
US Patent:

20130100809, Apr 25, 2013
Filed:

Nov 22, 2011
Appl. No.:

13/301954
Inventors:

Benjamin Gale - Raleigh NC, US
John McLendon - Raleigh NC, US
Assignee:

Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA
International Classification:

H04L 12/28
H04L 12/26
US Classification:

370235, 370255
Abstract:

A system and method for end-to-end automatic configuration of network elements using a link-level protocol. Network elements can be auto-configured through the propagation of configuration information. Configuration information is propagated using ports that have defined port roles that enable automatic propagation of configuration information.

US Patent:

20150138986, May 21, 2015
Filed:

Dec 19, 2013
Appl. No.:

14/134652
Inventors:

- Irvine CA, US
Benjamin GALE - Raleigh NC, US
Assignee:

Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA
International Classification:

H04L 12/803
H04L 12/835
H04L 12/801
US Classification:

370237
Abstract:

A system for load balancing allocation of flows to egress links in a link aggregation is provided. The system includes an input port to receive a packet corresponding to a flow, a plurality of egress ports, a frame distributor coupled to the egress ports, a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor and configured to store bandwidth requirements of the flow. The system also includes a packet parsing unit configured to receive the packet from the input port, receive a first signal from the processor that programs an association of the flow the packet belongs to with an egress port based on bandwidth requirements of the flow stored in the memory, and send a second signal to the frame distributor to direct the packet to the egress port based on the association of the flow with the corresponding egress port.

US Patent:

20150131431, May 14, 2015
Filed:

Nov 14, 2013
Appl. No.:

14/080211
Inventors:

- Irvine CA, US
Benjamin GALE - Raleigh NC, US
Assignee:

Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA
International Classification:

H04L 12/437
H04L 12/24
H04L 12/46
H04L 12/859
H04L 12/751
US Classification:

370225
Abstract:

A system and method to provide a protection ring in an Audio Visual Bridging (AVB) network is provided. The method includes the steps of monitoring a first status of links coupled to a plurality of devices in a ring network, receiving a second status of links of other devices in the ring network, and signaling devices in the ring network to generate a logical loop-free topology based upon a stored static physical configuration, the first status of the links and the second status of links of other network devices in the ring network. The method also includes the step of determining an allocation of flows to links based on stored flow characteristics. Determining an allocation of flows to links includes programming a transmit scheduler to provide a first percentage of bandwidth for Audio Video Bridging (AVB) flows while reserving a second percentage of bandwidth for non-AVB flows. The method further includes programming a forwarding unit to forward flows to their destination based on the logical loop-free topology.
