Abstract
This invention is directed to network methods and systems. According to an embodiment, the present invention provides a method that includes receiving a plurality of streams, each containing audio or video content. The method includes determining and storing separate statuses and states for these streams based on their association with network ports. The method manages the network resources associated with the streams based on their status. There are other embodiments as well.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of streams from a communication interface;
- processing the plurality of streams to identify a first stream and a second stream and a third stream, the first stream comprising a first video data, the second stream comprising a second video data and the third stream comprising a third video data;
- determining a first status for the first stream, the first stream being associated with a first port, the first status comprising an active stream classification at the first port;
- storing a first attribute of the first stream;
- determining a second status for the second stream and the third stream, the second status comprising a passive stream classification at the first port;
- and
- storing a second attribute associated with the second status for the second stream and the third stream, the second attribute comprising an aggregated attribute representing a set of streams at the first port having the passive stream classification, the set including the second stream and the third stream.

A network device comprising:
- a switch comprising a first port and a second port;
- a memory;
- a processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- process a plurality of streams to identify a first stream and a second stream and a third stream;
- determine a first status for the first stream, the first stream being associated with a first port, the first status comprising an active stream classification at the first port;
- storing a first attribute of the first stream in the memory;
- determine a second status associated with the second stream and the third stream, the second status comprising a passive stream classification at the first port;
- and
- storing a second attribute associated with the second stream and the third stream in the memory, the second attribute comprising an aggregated attribute representing a set of streams at the first port having the passive stream classification, the set including the second stream and the third stream.

A method comprising:
- processing a plurality of streams to identify a first stream and a second stream and a third stream, the first stream comprising a first video, the second stream comprising a second video and the third stream comprising a third video;
- determining a first status associated with the first stream, the first stream being associated with a first port, the first status comprising an active stream classification at the first port;
- storing a first attribute of the first stream at a memory;
- determining a second status associated with the second stream and the third stream, the second status comprising a passive stream classification at the first port;
- storing a second attribute associated with the second stream and the third stream in the memory, the second attribute comprising an aggregated attribute representing a set of streams at the first port having the passive stream classification, the set including the second stream and the third stream;
- detecting a first change associated with the first stream;
- and
- removing the first attribute from the memory.
