Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A pair of ports of a first networking device operate up to a first throughput. An input port of a multiplexer connects to one of these ports, and the multiplexer also has a pair of output ports. An output port of another, second network device connects to one of the first networking device's and also to one of the multiplexer's output ports. These ports operate up to a second, greater throughput. An output port of yet another, third network device also connects to one of the multiplexer's output ports, and operates up to a third throughput no greater than the first throughput.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
I claim: 1. A system comprising: a first networking device comprising a pair of ports operational up to a first throughput; a multiplexer comprising an input port connected to one of the pair of ports of the first networking device, and a pair of output ports; a second networking device comprising an output port connected to another one of the pair of ports of the first networking device and to one of the pair of output ports of the multiplexer, and operational up to a second…
