| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 5734825 | Traffic control system having distributed rate calculation and link by link flow control A rate based, end to end flow control system is disclosed for a communications network. The disclosed rate based flow control system includes each source end station selecting its transmission rate from a set of permitted discrete transmission rates. The ... | 03/31/1998 |
| 5544051 | Document management system using multiple threaded processes and having asynchronous repository responses and no busy cursor A document management apparatus minimizes the busy time of a cursor by using asynchronous servicing of responses from repositories, and by executing the cursor control process during time intervals between receiving responses. Also during these time inter... | 08/06/1996 |
| 5500860 | Router using multiple hop redirect messages to enable bridge like data forwarding An apparatus for forwarding a data packet from a first link to a second link is disclosed. The apparatus is coupled with a plurality of computer networks through ports on the apparatus. The apparatus maintains a spanning tree list indicating which of the ... | 03/19/1996 |
| 5491692 | Hybrid units for a communication network A communication network consists of end units (EUs) and distribution units (DUs) coupled together by links which may include local area networks (LANs). The units maintain neighbor tables by sending out Hello messages which indicate the unit type and cont... | 02/13/1996 |
| 5481538 | Frame removal mechanism for token ring networks using one or more start strip delimiter frames or circulation time interval Frame processing apparatus, and a related method for its operation, for use in a station connected to a token ring network, to ensure rapid stripping of frames from the network without reference to source addresses in the frames, and in spite of the possi... | 01/02/1996 |
| 5440691 | System for minimizing underflowing transmit buffer and overflowing receive buffer by giving highest priority for storage device access A technique for managing bidirectional data flow between a first data bus, such as in a local area network, having a fixed data flow rate once access has been obtained, and a memory or storage device connected to a second data bus having variable latency.... | 08/08/1995 |
| 5432784 | Flow control method and apparatus for systems with long distance links A flow control system is disclosed, for a transmitting node and a receiving node. The transmitting node and the receiving node are linked together through multiple connections or virtual circuits. The receiving node includes a connection specific pool of ... | 07/11/1995 |
| 5420862 | Router using remote address resolution to enable bridge like data forwarding A communications system is disclosed, having a first communications link, a second communications link, a first end station attached to said first communications link, a first packet forwarding apparatus attached to the first communications link, a second... | 05/30/1995 |
| 5414704 | Address lookup in packet data communications link, using hashing and content-addressable memory A way of doing source address and destination address lookups is described, as may be used in a packet data communication system. A way of searching a relatively large database is described, using a combination of programmable hash algorithms, binary sear... | 05/09/1995 |
| 5408473 | Method and apparatus for transmission of communication signals over two parallel channels A technique for synchronizing run-length-limited data transmitted over two parallel narrowband communication channels, such as in a token ring local area network using fiber distributed data interface (FDDI) protocols. A serial data stream to be transmitt... | 04/18/1995 |
