The one of the plurality of protocols may include an Ethernet protocol, a transmission control protocol (TCP), an Internet protocol (IP), an Internet small computer system interface (iSCSI) protocol, and / or a remote direct memory access (RDMA) protocol.

A method for transferring information between a first network comprising first-network-stations operating under an Ethernet protocol and a second network comprising second-network-stations operating under a Fibre Channel (FC) protocol, including grouping the first-network-stations into virtual local area networks (VLANs) which each transfer a respective VLAN-data-frame within the VLAN, and grouping the second-network-stations into FC zones which each transfer a respective zone-data-frame within the zone. The method further includes coupling the networks together using a gateway to convey data between the networks, configuring the gateway with an association mapping a primary VLAN and a primary zone, and translating in the gateway between a primary VLAN-data-frame and a primary zone-data-frame, responsive to the association, so as to convey primary-data between the primary VLAN and the primary zone via the gateway.

The invention discloses a general signal processing board card based on a multi-core DSP (digital signal processor). An FPGA (field programmable gate array) serves as a master control core, and two multi-core DSP chips are connected through a high-speed serial bus and supportable to SRIO (serial rapid input / output) and PCIE (peripheral component interconnect express) protocols. Each DSP is connected with an expandable external memory and a gigabit Ethernet interface, and the DSPs are connected mutually through the high-speed serial bus and supportable to Hyperlink, SRIO and PCIE protocols. The FPGA and a VPX connector are mutually connected through a gigabit transceiver and supportable to SRIO, PCIE and Ethernet protocols. Mounting positions of an external memory chip, a DSP chip and an FPGA chip on a printed board of the general signal processing board card are compatible positions allowing placement of other chips in the series respectively and accord with 6U standards in size. The problems of poor universality, small data throughput, low storing rate and low processing speed of existing signal processing board cards are solved, and the general signal processing board card has the advantages of quickness in processing, high storing rate, large data throughput and high universality and can be widely applied to fields of communication, radar, guided missiles, remote sensing, image processing and the like.

Distributed CMTS device for a HFC CATV network serving multiple neighborhoods by multiple individual cables, in which the QAM modulators that provide data for the individual cables are divided between QAM modulators located at the cable plant, and remote QAM modulators ideally located at the fiber nodes. A basic set of CATV QAM data waveforms may be transmitted to the nodes using a first fiber, and a second set of IP / on-demand data may be transmitted to the nodes using an alternate fiber or alternate fiber frequency, and optionally other protocols such as Ethernet protocols. The nodes will extract the data specific to each neighborhood and inject this data into unused QAM channels, thus achieving improved data transmission rates through finer granularity. A computerized “virtual shelf” control system for this system is also disclosed. The system has high backward compatibility, and can be configured to mimic a conventional cable plant CMTS.

A novel method of operating repeaters or other hub devices in a local area network, such as one conforming to Ethernet protocol, in which there are a plurality of repeater interfaces of respectively different data rates for communicating with a link partner on a network medium. The methodology comprises determining the data rate of operation of the link partner, and based on that data rate, automatically steering data between the network medium and a selected one of the repeaters. In a preferred embodiment, a network transceiver comprises one or more physical layer devices (PHY), and a plurality of shared data busses corresponding, respectively, to the speeds of operation of the repeaters, for interconnecting the repeaters and one or more of the physical layer devices. A multiplexer interconnects each of the one or more physical layer devices to a selected one of the plurality of busses, and an auto-negotiation unit controls the multiplexer to interconnect the physical layer devices to corresponding busses selected depending on the operating speed of the link partner.

A method of supporting multiple quality of service (QoS) levels for data being transmitted between two networking devices, such as customer equipment (CE), that use Ethernet and Frame Relay (FR). The method supports multiple QoS services in a network where a first CE is connected to a first edge device (interworking unit) using the Ethernet protocol and a second CE is connected to a second edge device using the FR protocol. The edge devices may be directly connected together or they may be connected through a network backbone using any generally accepted network protocol. The first CE may be connected to the first edge device using a single Ethernet port, multiple Ethernet ports, a single virtual local area network (VLAN), or multiple VLAN's. The second CE is connected to an edge device using a single data link connection (DLC), or multiple DLC's. The method ensures QoS for data transmitted between the first and the second CE via the Ethernet protocol to the FR protocol and vice versa.

The present specification discloses a multimedia distribution system and method. The system and method has a producer workstation, a delivery server, a high-bandwidth one-way satellite transmission system, a terrestrial two-way communication system (including use of the Internet), a plurality of satellite affiliate workstations, and a plurality of terrestrial client workstations. The delivery server receives digital information (envelopes and associates media files) from the producer workstations for delivery of the information to the affiliate and client workstations addressed in the envelope. The affiliate and client workstations provide the delivery server with confirmation of delivery of each received envelope and its associated files. In the absence of receipt of confirmation of delivery, the delivery server re-sends the unconfirmed envelope and associated files to the non-confirming affiliate or client workstation by a two-way terrestrial connection or by a manual system, such as a dub-and-ship service. The delivery server has the ability to push content to affiliates, push-pull content to affiliate and clients, to conventionally pull content from the delivery server, and push the content to affiliates and clients by manual delivery services. The disclosed system and method utilize a unique envelope and addressing protocol and a unique broadcast file transfer protocol for distribution to affiliate workstations by one-way satellite broadcast. The disclosed system and method also make significant use of the TCP / IP, IGMP, and Ethernet protocols and information distribution techniques.
