Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A distributed switching fabric system includes multiple network switches coupled to a cell-based switching fabric by cell-fabric ports. A virtual machine runs on a server connected to a network port of one or more of the network switches that are members of a given switching domain. The virtual machine manages a control plane for the given switching domain. The server receives a protocol control packet from one of the network switches and forwards the received protocol control packet to the virtual machine for processing.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for implementing a control plane in a distributed fabric system comprised of one or more switching domains, the distributed fabric system including a plurality of network switches coupled to a cell-based switching fabric, the method comprising: running a virtual machine on a server connected to a network port of one or more of the network switches of the distributed fabric system that are members of a given switching domain; managing, by the virtu…
