LOD, Israel, December 14 /PRNewswire/ --

- New Patent Extends Ethernity's IP Rights Throughout the Entire Carrier Grade Ethernet Switch Protocol Interworking and Traffic Management Technology

Ethernity Networks Ltd, a leading supplier of Multiservice Fabric Flow Processors for Carrier Grade Ethernet appliances, today announced that it has been awarded patent number 7,620,770 by the US Patent Office for a " Device and method for storing and processing data units". The patent applies to a zero copy mechanism for storing an ingress data unit at the DDR memory unit for purposes of packet re-ordering and traffic management, then retrieving a fetched data unit from the DDR memory for data unit processing, wherein the fetched data unit comprises at least a portion of the ingress data unit, all at wire speed and with single read and write to/from external DDR memory.

The patent applies to any multi service processing over a single fabric engine, such that a single engine can handle TDM, ATM and Ethernet processing without the need to use a dedicated engine for each protocol for the purpose of protocol interworking. Together with inverse multiplexing (EFM bonding, IMA, MLPPP), advanced Traffic Management and any-to-any wire speed protocol interworking, the new patent enables Ethernity to deliver the lowest cost ever platform using single DDR Memory and integrated into ultra low cost FPGA.
