Latest Patents
Truskowski's latest patents include a method and apparatus for using stuffing bytes over a G.709 signal to carry multiple streams. This invention discloses methods and apparatus for allowing containers in an optical transport network to be shared between users. A key aspect of this invention involves a first network element that includes a frame generator and an output arrangement. The frame generator creates a frame with a fixed stuff area that includes channel identification information, justification information, and payload type information. The output arrangement places the frame within a container for transport through the optical transport network, allowing multiple network elements to utilize the container's bandwidth.
Another significant patent focuses on using an external router to manage foreign data communication channel traffic. This invention describes methods and apparatus for efficiently managing third-party data communication channel (DCC) channels using an optical network element without an OSI stack. The gateway network element includes a port that receives a signal from a network element and a retrieving mechanism that extracts information contained in the DCC channel. This information is then sent through a point-to-point-over-Ethernet (PPPoE) session with an external router.
