Abstract:
1. An apparatus for managing client connections, comprising: a first circuitry having a first Set Of Links (SOL), a second SOL, control outputs, first control inputs, and second control inputs, the first SOL coupled to receive first clients connection requests, and the first control inputs coupled to receive first control commands; a third circuitry having a first SOL, a second SOL, control outputs, first control inputs, and second control inputs, the second SOL coupled to receive third clients connection requests, the first control inputs coupled to receive the first circuitry control outputs without going through an intermediary, and the second control inputs coupled to receive third control commands; a second circuitry having a first SOL, a second SOL, first control inputs, and second control inputs, the first SOL coupled to receive the first circuitry second SOL, the second SOL coupled to receive the third circuitry first SOL, the first control inputs coupled to receive the first circuitry control outputs, and the second control inputs coupled to receive the third circuitry control outputs.
