Data striping based switching system
TLDR
In this article, a switching system for a data stream utilizing striping with a parity stripe is presented, so if a fabric of the system fails, the data stream can still be reconstructed with the parity stripe.Abstract:
A switching system for a data stream utilizing striping with a parity stripe, so if a fabric of the system fails, the data stream can still be reconstructed with the parity stripe. The system uses receive and transmit interfaces which implement space division, and fabrics which implement hybrid space/time division.read more

Method and apparatus for distributed storage integrity processing
TL;DR: In this paper, a distributed storage integrity system in a dispersed storage network includes a scanning agent and a control unit, where the scanning agent identifies an encoded data slice that requires reconstruction, wherein the encoded slice is one of a plurality of encoded data slices generated from a data segment using an error encoding dispersal function.
Patent
System and method for router queue and congestion management
TL;DR: In this article, a multi-QOS level queuing structure is proposed, where packet payload pointers are stored in multiple queues and packet payloads in a common memory pool, and algorithms control the drop probability of packets entering the queue structure by comparing measured instantaneous queue size with calculated minimum and maximum queue sizes.
