A method for distributing information includes: receiving, at a replicator, a single data stream originating from a data source where the single data stream includes a first plurality of data units from the data source; replicating, by the replicator, the single data stream to obtain a first replicated data stream and a second replicated data stream; adding a delay between the first plurality of data units in the single data stream before replicating the single data stream; transmitting the first replicated data stream to a first data recipient using a first communication channel; and transmitting the second replicated data stream to a second data recipient using a second communication channel. The replication of the single data stream is performed by a lower layer device to obtain the first replicated data stream and the second replicated data stream substantially synchronously.

System and a method for distributing information

Embodiments of the invention relate to methods and systems for processing network traffic data units. The methods and systems may include functionality for generating a first network traffic data unit comprising an indication that the first network traffic unit should be delayed for a time before re-transmission to a client device; and transmitting the first network traffic data unit to a first edge device.

System and a method for controlling timing of processing network data

Embodiments of the invention relate to methods and systems for processing network traffic data units. The methods and systems may include functionality for receiving a first network traffic data unit at a first edge device at a first time, and appending a first ingress timestamp to the first network traffic data unit based on the first time. The methods and systems also include functionality to receive a second network traffic data unit at a second edge device at a second time and appending a second ingress timestamp to the second network traffic data unit based on the second time. The first network traffic data unit and second network traffic data unit are transmitted, via a network, to a data processing device.

In general, the embodiments relate to systems and methods for receiving and processing network traffic data units (NTDUs) by one or more edge devices in order to generate a global ordering of NTDU. The methods include receiving, at an aggregator, a first set of locally ordered NTDUs from a first edge device, receiving, at the aggregator, a second set of locally ordered NTDUs from a second edge device, generating a globally ordered sequence of NTDUs using the first set of locally ordered NTDUs and the second set of locally ordered NTDUs; and transmitting the globally ordered sequence of NTDUs to a destination.

Method and system for prioritizing network traffic data units

System and methods for generating and authenticating verifiable network traffic. Specifically, the system and methods disclosed herein describe solutions for augmenting layer-2 (L2) frames with additional verifiable information entailing, for example, hash-based message authentication code encryption or digital signature authentication. These solutions may address scenarios where evidence of tampering, through deceptive practices, of network traffic data may prove difficult to detect.

System and methods for generating and authenticating verifiable network traffic

A method of data switching. Data is received by at least one input port of a crosspoint switch. The crosspoint switch configurably casts the data to at least one output port of the crosspoint switch. Each output port of the crosspoint switch is connected to a respective input of a logic function device such as an FPGA. The logic function device applies a logic function to data received from each output port of the crosspoint switch, such as address filtering or multiplexing, and outputs processed data to one or more respective logic function device output interfaces. Also, a method of switching involving circuit switching received data to an output while also copying the data to a higher layer function.

Apparatus and method for low latency switching

Embodiments of the invention relate to systems and methods for distributing information. In one or more embodiments of the invention, the method includes receiving, at a replicator, a single data stream originating from a data source, wherein the single data stream comprises a first plurality of data units from the data source; replicating, by the replicator, the single data stream to obtain a first replicated data stream and a second replicated data stream; transmitting the first replicated data stream to a first data recipient; and transmitting the second replicated data stream to a second data recipient.

Disclosed herein is a system () for transmitting a data stream (). The system () is configured to receive the data stream ().

This specification discloses a protocol agnostic networking apparatus and method of networking. The networking apparatus receives physical layer signal through a plurality of communications ports that interface with external computing systems. A dynamic routing module interconnects the communications ports with discrete reconfigurable data conduits. Each of the data conduits defines a transmission pathway between predetermined communications ports. A management module maintains the data conduits based on routing commands received from an external computing system. The management module interfaces with the dynamic routing module to make and/or break data conduits responsive to received routing commands.
