Latest Patents
Punit Bhargava's latest patents include innovative methods aimed at reducing wasted bandwidth in multicast systems. One of his notable inventions is titled "Constant time signature methods for scalable and bandwidth-efficient multicast." This invention presents a method, computer program product, system, and apparatus designed to minimize wasted bandwidth caused by supercasting multicast cells through a router switch fabric. The invention generates signatures of a switch fabric destination address, which are then compared to reduce supercasting by combining fabric destination addresses with similar signatures. This approach allows for time-efficient solutions that can be implemented online, while also incorporating off-line methods for more optimal results.
Another significant patent by Bhargava is "Clustering methods for scalable and bandwidth-efficient multicast." This invention provides a method, system, computer program product, and apparatus for reducing wasted bandwidth due to supercasting multicast cells. It involves comparing a multicast destination address to each entry in a label-to-destination address table (LTDT) to assess the bandwidth wasted by additional switch fabric ports. This method also considers the traffic experienced by each LTDT entry, ensuring efficient bandwidth utilization.
