An information-processing method for application-specific processing of messages. A message is received. Whether the message is in a selected application format is ascertained. If not, the message is routed to a next location. If so, the message is routed to a selected application processor, processed by the processor, and routed to the next location.

Application-specific information-processing method, system, and apparatus

A method and system for generating a cryptographically random number stream () is provided. A system includes a module () configured to provide at least two statistically random number streams () and () and an oscillator () operably coupled to the module (). The oscillator () is configured to operate at a frequency which varies in response to physically unpredictable events and to select a current number from one of the at least two statistically random number streams () and () based on the oscillator's state. A process includes several steps. At least two statistically random number streams are provided (). A current number is selected () from one of the at least two statistically random number streams based on the state of an oscillator operating at a frequency which varies in response to physically unpredictable events. The step of selecting () is repeated () to create the cryptographically random number stream. The number streams can be carried by signals (), (), and (). An apparatus for performing the process is also disclosed.

Method and system for generating a cryptographically random number stream

A state decision subsystem (SDS) including an inload module, a simple programmable entity (SPE), at least one SPE memory, an unload module, and a coherency module. The inload module reads state information from a memory subsystem&#x2014;the state information corresponding to TCP packets that are to be processed. In addition, the inload module writes contexts to the SPE memory. Each context includes both a TCP packet and its corresponding state information. The SPE reads each context from the SPE memory, processes the context, and writes the processed context to the SPE memory. The processed context includes both a processed TCP packet and its corresponding processed state information. Furthermore, the unload memory reads the processed context and writes the processed state information to the memory subsystem. Finally, the coherency module compares contents of the inload module and the unload module, and if the contents of each correspond to the same TCP connection, the coherency module replaces the state related content of the inload module with the state related content of the unload module.

High-throughput state management for TCP

A phase-locked loop (PLL), a method of programmably adjusting a phase of a reference clock signal and a synchronous sequential logic circuit incorporating the PLL or the method. In one embodiment, the PLL includes: (1) a digital feedback delay line having a plurality of taps and (2) tap selection logic, coupled to the digital feedback delay line, for activating one of the plurality of taps and thereby insert a corresponding delay into the PLL.
