Title: Distributed chassis architecture having integrated service appliances
Inventor: KAMBLE KESHAV
IPC: H04L47/43
Filed: 2012-06-15
Abstract: A distributed virtual chassis comprises scaled-out fabric coupler (SFC) boxes (12-1,12-2 etc.) Each SFC has fabric ports (18) and a cell-based switch fabric (16) for switching cells associated with a packet among the SFC fabric ports of that SFC box. Distributed line cards (DLCs) include switching DLCs (14-1, 14-2) and an appliance DLC (A-DLC, 14-N). Each switching DLC has network ports (20) and fabric ports (22). Each switching DLC and A-DLC is connected to each of the SFCs. The A-DLC provides an upper layer service for packets arriving on the network ports of the switching DLCs. A traffic filter associated with each network port determines if the packet requires the upper layer service. To forward a packet to the A-DLC, a switching DLC divides the packet into cells and distributes the cells among the SFCs to the A-DLC which reassembles the packet and provides the upper layer service.

IPC: H01P11/00
Filed: 2015-03-20
Abstract: A method of manufacture of a waveguide, the waveguide including a channel for the passage of data signals between first and second apertures and a portion of said waveguide is flexible, said method including feeding a strip of sheet material to forming apparatus, forming first engagement means at a first face of the sheet material and second engagement means at an opposing face of the sheet material, winding said strip material in a helical path and engaging said first and second engagement means to form the flexible portion of the waveguide, and at the same time as winding the sheet material an elongate member is fed and co-wound with the sheet material so as to be positioned internally of the said flexible portion. Thus, an elongate, rod like, material 42 is co-introduced along with the sheet material and wound therewith so as to be positioned internally of the waveguide portion and pass in spiral or helical path along the interior of the channel. This elongate member 42 acts as a former and maintains the form of the waveguide portion during manufacture. Once the waveguide is formed to the required length, the elongate member 42 is pulled out.
