    Abstract: A layer 3 routing loop prevention system includes a port extender coupled to a first and second control bridges by a Link Aggregation Group (LAG). The first and second control bridges are coupled by an interchassis link. When the first control bridge receives a packet and determines that its LAG link to the port extender is unavailable, it provides a control bridge failover identifier in the packet and performs layer 3 forwarding to send the packet to the second control bridge over the interchassis link. When the second control bridge receives the packet though the interchassis link and determines that its LAG link to the port extender is unavailable, that the packet includes the first control bridge failover identifier, and that layer 3 forwarding will result in the packet being sent back to the first control bridge device, the packet is dropped to prevent layer 3 routing loops.

    Abstract: A novel method of operating a Distributed Cable Modem Termination System is provided. Each branch CMTS node in a distributed CMTS supports a complete CMTS system and with full-spectrum ports. One or more MAC domains are defined at each branch CMTS node. A MAC domain defined at a branch CMTS node includes only service flows of the CMs that are connected to the branch CMTS node. Identifiers of service flows coming from a branch CMTS node are always unique, i.e., two different service flows of the branch CMTS would always have different SIDs, even if they belong to different MAC domains. On the other hand, service flows belonging to different branch CMTS nodes are free to reuse the same identifiers.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods relating to synchronization of communication equipment are disclosed. Synchronization information received from a bonded communication link can be used to synchronize local and/or remote communication equipment, such as femtocell sites coupled to nodes in a ring network. This may involve isolating a frequency reference signal from a DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) communication link which is a constituent link of a bonded communication link, for example. In a ring network, received synchronization information could be used in synchronizing a locally connected installation of communication equipment, and passed for transmission in the ring network for synchronizing other communication equipment. Such dropping and passing of an analog frequency reference signal could be applied in networks having other topologies as well. At least some embodiments of the invention are applicable to optical links. One or more dedicated wavelengths of an optical link could be used to transfer a frequency reference signal, for example. Other functions, such as quality monitoring, quality reporting, and/or predictive traffic forwarding may be provided in some embodiments.
