A method and system for auto-provisioning communications devices, the system includes a network appliance associated with a software and/or hardware module with instructions for managing the automatic configuration of communications devices.

Method and system for configuring a network communications device

In a system, device, and method for controlling access to a memory, a memory interface device is used to coordinate access to a memory device by a number of host applications. The memory interface device is situated between the number of host applications and the memory device. The memory interface device received memory access requests from the number of host applications, interacts with the memory device for servicing the memory access requests, and provides result/status information to the number of host applications. The memory interface device maintains a separate context for each memory access request in order to correlate each memory access request with the host application that issued the memory access request and the result/status information generated for the memory access request.

System, device, and method for controlling access to a memory

An apparatus and method for transferring data in a data processing system to and from a host system. A communication adapter or input/output controller device is provided in which queues are utilized to transfer information between the adapter or controller and the host system. In order to minimize the amount of time a system or I/O bus or network is used during transfer of data between the adapter or controller and the host system, and reduce the amount of work that must be performed by the host system, the number of interrupts by the adapter or controller of the host system is limited to the minimum amount necessary by using an interrupt arm mechanism and by keeping track of completion indices stored in the host system.
