Title: Predicting saturation in a shift operation
Inventor: LUTZ DAVID RAYMOND
IPC: G06F9/30
Filed: 2015-03-04
Abstract: Bit location indicator generation circuitry and comparison circuitry operate in parallel with shift circuitry. The bit location indicator indicates at least one bit location in the input data value which must not have a bit set if the shifted data value is not to saturate. Comparison circuitry compares the bit location indicator with the input data value and indicates a saturation condition if any bits are indicated by the bit position indicator for bit locations which hold set bits in the input data value. This allows faster indication of saturation, without needing to complete the full shift operation.

Title: Network packet broker
Inventor: NEWTON CHRISTOPHER ANDREW
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2015-03-09
Abstract: A network packet broker (NPB) for processing network visibility/monitoring data from SPAN (Switched Port ANalyser) ports or network TAPs and forwarding it to instruments for security, performance monitoring and the like using ports 30. The NPB consists of a switch chip 24 with associated TCAM 25 (ternary content addressable memory) and a CPU 26 with associated memory 28. The switch chip processes the monitoring packets and applies forward/drop rules to filter/aggregate packet flows to one or more instruments. The rules may be applied by directing look-ups to the TCAM. Specifically the switch chip is arranged such that all rules are applied in a single pass. Packets pass through only one filter engines between ingress and egress, multiple filter engines in series are not used. The CPU includes a rule generator 34. This takes configuration instructions/maps/filters input via the NPB user interface 32 and processes them to manage overlaps and resolve them into rules for the one pass filter engines in the switch chip.
