    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new data structure, a method, and a device for a software management tree(SMT) which provide a control point processor. SOLUTION: This retrieving mechanism reduces the storage space of a node by using only a forward pointer together with a next bit or bit group to be tested next. Multiple retrieval is unnecessary and filter rules for an application are processed to make it possible to connect various filter rules. Two patterns of the same length are stored in respective leaves to define range comparison. Final comparing operation is comparison within a range or comparison below a mask. Through the comparison within the range, it is decided whether or not an input key is within the range defined by the two patterns. Through the comparison below the mask, various bits in the input key are compared with various bits in a 1st leaf pattern under the mask specified with the 2nd leaf pattern.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the communicating efficiency of a protocol processor unit(PPU) and a coprocessor in a network processor. SOLUTION: An integrated processor composite body is provided with a plurality of protocol processor units(PPU). The respective units are provided with at least one or preferentially two individually functioning core language processors(CLP). The respective CLP are allowed to support dual threads through a logical coprocessor execution/data interface with a plurality of exclusive coprocessors to be used for the respective PPU. In response to an operation instruction, the PPU identifies an events whose waiting time is long and an event whose waiting time is short, and controls and switches the priority order of the execution of threads based on the identification. Also, in response to the operation instruction, the conditional execution of the specific coprocessor operation is made available when the designated specific event is generated or not generated.

    Abstract: The decision to discard or forward a packet is made by a flow control mechanism, upstream from the forwarding engine in the node of a communication network. The forwarding engine includes a switch with mechanism to detect congestion in the switch and return a binary signal B indicating congestion or no congestion. The flow control mechanism uses B and other network related information to generate a probability transmission table against which received packets are tested to determine proactively whether a packet is to be discarded or forwarded.

    Abstract: A Resource Reservation System includes a Token Generation Unit (TGU) which generates and circulates among nodes of a communications system a Slotted Token (SLT) message having sub-fields to carry identification number for each input port in a node and the resource available for each input port. On receiving the message the Resource Control Unit (RCU) in each node can write port identification number, available resource in appropriate sub-fields of the SLT message, and reserve resources in other nodes by adjusting information in the sub-field associated with the other nodes.
