Abstract: A router fault tolerant network interface system (300) includes a switch circuit (302) configured to detect when a router fails in a multi-router local network. When a failed router (202) is detected, the swit ch circuit (302) waits for a time-out period to expire to allow convergence. The switch circuit (302) then intervenes when traffic from a server (106) to the failed router (202) is detected. The switch circuit (302) translates the MAC address of the failed router (202) to the M AC address of a functional router (104). Traffic from a server (106) originally directed to the failed router (202) is then redirected to a functional router (104). In a further refinement, the switch circuit (302) provides the MAC address of a functional router (104) in response to a n ARP request from a server (106) to the failed router (202).

Title: Etage d'attaque de ligne differentiel
Inventor: ERLANDS JOHAN
IPC: H04L25/02
Filed: 1999-03-02
Granted: 2008-10-07
Abstract: L'invention concerne un étage d'attaque de ligne entièrement différentiel pour des paires torsadées de fil de cuivre. Cet étage d'attaque de ligne comprend deux amplificateurs de courant (Ap, An) réalisés selon une technique CMOS standard, chacun possédant une entrée (Iinp, Iinn) et une sortie (Lop, Lon), ces dernières étant connectées à une source de tension via des résistances (Rt) de borne, laquelle source de tension peut être réglée sur une tension plus élevée que celle utilisée pour exciter des amplificateurs CMOS. Selon cette invention, une impédance de sortie faible peut être associée à une excursion plus grande. En outre, une rétroaction n'est pas nécessaire, ce qui évite des problèmes tels que l'instabilité de potentiel. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, l'étage d'attaque de ligne possède également une entrée à impédance très faible, ce qui le rend approprié pour une connexion à un convertisseur N/A, et réduit les distorsions de son signal de sortie. L'invention convient pour des modems de ligne d'abonné numérique à vitesse très élevée.
