Filed:
Mar 8, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/264430
Inventors:
Kenneth A. Lauffenburger - Carrollton TX
Kimberly I. Martin - Rockwall TX
Klaus S. Fosmark - Plano TX
Assignee:

International Classification:
H04L 1256
US Classification:
3703956, 370466
Abstract:
A modem operable to facilitate communication between a host and a communications link includes a memory operable to store a rate control algorithm. The modem further comprises a controller operable to receive from the universal serial bus a first USB segment comprising a first plurality of ATM cells and rate control information associated with the first plurality of ATM cells, to store the first plurality of ATM cells in the memory, to perform the rate control algorithm on the first plurality of ATM cells using the rate control information received in the first USB segment, and to transmit each of the plurality of ATM cells at a particular transmission rate according to the results of the rate control algorithm.

Data Transmission System And Method Of Operation

US Patent:
6621824, Sep 16, 2003
Filed:
Feb 16, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/251107
Inventors:
Kenneth A. Lauffenburger - Carrollton TX
Al Whaley - Palo Alto CA
Klaus S. Fosmark - Plano TX
Charles F. Shelor - Arlington TX
Assignee:
Efficient Networks, Inc. - Dallas TX
International Classification:
H04L 1228
US Classification:
370412, 3703954, 710 52
Abstract:
A data transmission system includes a memory, a remote coupled to the memory by a receive data controller, and a host coupled to the memory by a transmit data controller. The system prioritizes the transmission of data cells from the remote to the host based on demand by dynamically allocating portions of the memory to data cells sharing a common and frequently recurring address at the host, and transmitting to the host incihvidual data cells together in a burst.

System And Method For Enhanced End Station To End Station Data Flow Control

View page
US Patent:
6657961, Dec 2, 2003
Filed:
Aug 18, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/135995
Inventors:
Kenneth A. Lauffenburger - Carrollton TX
Klaus S. Fosmark - Plano TX
Assignee:
Efficient Networks, Inc. - Dallas TX
International Classification:
H04L 1226
US Classification:
370231, 3702361
Abstract:
A system and method for controlling data flow in an available bit rate asynchronous transfer mode ATM network. In the ATM network, a transmitting end station transmits data to a receiving end station across the network. The transmitting end station sends forward resource management (RM) cells across the network, while the receiving end station sends solicited or unsolicited backward RM cells across the network. The receiving end station contains a control module that generates and transmits an unsolicited RM cell having a desired low data flow rate to transmitting end station upon detecting congestion at the receiving end station. The control module also generates and transmits an unsolicited RM cell having a desired high data flow rate to the transmitting end station upon detecting absence of congestion at the receiving end station.

System And Method For Traffic Shaping Packet-Based Signals

View page
US Patent:
6661774, Dec 9, 2003
Filed:
Feb 16, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/251105
Inventors:
Kenneth A. Lauffenburger - Carrollton TX
Al Whaley - Palo Alto CA
Klaus S. Fosmark - Plano TX
Charles F. Shelor - Arlington TX
Assignee:
Efficient Networks, Inc. - Dallas TX
International Classification:
G01R 3108
US Classification:
3702301, 370352, 3703952, 370412
Abstract:
A method of scheduling transmission of a plurality of cells of a first signal packet associated with a first virtual channel address using a scheduling ring having a plurality of slots and pointer operable to indicate a current slot includes advancing the pointer to a slot associated with the first virtual channel address, initiating transmission of a previously scheduled first cell associated with the first virtual channel address, rescheduling transmission of a previously unscheduled second cell associated with the first virtual channel address for transmission at a later time, and advancing the pointer to the next slot.

Network Clock Emulation In A Multiple Channel Environment

View page
US Patent:
6738916, May 18, 2004
Filed:
Nov 2, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/705563
Inventors:
Mark A. Gladden - Lewisville TX
Neill R. Bell - Plano TX
Kenneth A. Lauffenburger - Carrollton TX
Assignee:
Efficient Networks, Inc. - Dallas TX
International Classification:
G06F 104
US Classification:
713400, 713600, 710 52
Abstract:
In one aspect of the invention, a method of emulating a network clock signal in a multiple channel environment includes receiving a plurality of asynchronous signals each associated with one of a plurality of communication channels and storing each of the plurality of asynchronous signals in one of a plurality of buffers, each associated with one of the communication channels, the buffers operable to communicate with a synchronous communication link having a frame rate. The method further comprises identifying one of the plurality of communication channels as a reference channel, determining a current depth of the buffer associated with the reference channel, and altering the frame rate of the synchronous communication link based at least in part on the current depth of the buffer associated with the reference channel.

US Patent:
7020128, Mar 28, 2006
Filed:
Nov 2, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/705562
Inventors:
Mark A. Gladden - Lewisville TX, US
Neill R. Bell - Plano TX, US
Kenneth A. Lauffenburger - Carrollton TX, US
Klaus S. Fosmark - Frisco TX, US
Assignee:
Efficient Networks, Inc. - Dallas TX
International Classification:
H04L 12/66
US Classification:
370352, 370442, 375222
Abstract:
In one aspect of the invention, a method for datagram staggering in a communication system includes receiving samples of a first input signal and a second input signal. The first input signal corresponds to a first communication device, and the second input signal corresponds to a second communication device. The method also includes generating a first plurality of datagrams containing at least a portion of the samples of the first input signal. In addition, the method includes generating a second datagram containing at least a portion of the samples of the second input signal. The second datagram is staggered from each of the first plurality of datagrams such that the second datagram is ready for communication at a different time than any of the first plurality of datagrams.
