Title: Innovations of Ryan T Ross
Introduction
Ryan T Ross is an accomplished inventor based in Londonderry, NH (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of networking technology, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on enhancing data unit processing in network bridge and router systems.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Multiple protocol support." This invention involves a network bridge/router designed to identify a data unit for routing, determine the associated protocol, and execute data transfer operations in hardware. The Receive Header Processor (RHP) plays a crucial role in analyzing the destination address of the received data unit to ascertain whether routing or bridging is necessary. If routing is required, the RHP utilizes portions of the data unit header to compare against predefined values, which helps identify the protocol and execute the appropriate handling routine.
Another notable patent is the "Unicast, multicast, and broadcast method and apparatus." This invention processes data units in a bridge/router based on their cast type. The logic circuits determine the cast type, source address, and destination address by examining the header of incoming data units. For unicast data units, the source and destination addresses are used to obtain a transmit port indicator, directing the data unit to the appropriate port. For non-unicast data units, the invention employs port masks to identify valid ports for both receipt and transmission, ensuring efficient data handling.
