A network switch includes a power connection configured to receive power from a primary power source and at least two ports. At least a first one of the ports is configured to connect to a first network interface of a first computing device through a communication medium configured to conduct operating power for the network switch. The first network interface is configured to draw electrical power from a power supply of the first computing device and provide, through the network cable, at least a portion of the drawn electrical power as the operating power. A switching circuit is configured to route network data between the ports and a power management circuit coupled at least to the first port. The power management circuit is configured to draw at least a portion of the operating power from the first port, and power the switching circuit using the drawn power responsive to a detected failure of the primary power source.

Back-up power for a network switch

In a multiprocessor-system, a system and method assigns communications to processors, processes, or subsets of types of communications to be processed by a specific processor without using a locking mechanism specific to the resources required for assignment.

System and method for allocating communications to processors in a multiprocessor system

In a multiprocessor system, a system and method assigns communications to processors, processes, or subsets of types of communications to be processed by a specific processor without using a locking mechanism specific to the resources required for assignment. The system and method can reschedule processes to run on the processor on which the assignment is made.

System and method for allocatiing communications to processors and rescheduling processes in a multiprocessor system

A system and method provides communications to processes, handles transmissions of communications received from processes, and allows other manipulations of transmissions upon request by processes without an operating system call.

System and method for providing communications to processes

System and method for making communication streams available to processes executing under control of an operating system but without the intervention of the operating system
