Abstract
A status queue in a host and a control queue in a segmentation and reassembly (SAR) subsystem are on opposite sides of a host bus in a control plane. Buffer descriptors in the host and the SAR and buffers in the host are in a data plane. To transfer cell payloads to a first line interfacing the SAR, the host writes the SAR that it has such cell payloads. The host writes the host buffer descriptors into the control queue to obtain the transfer of the buffer payload to the first line. The SAR writes the status queue when the transfer has been completed. To transfer cell payloads to the host memory, the host writes into the control queue the address of the buffers to receive the payload from the SAR. The SAR then writes the buffer descriptors to the status queue to obtain the transfer of the cell payloads to the buffers. Each of the control and status queues may be respectively considered to constitute two (2) control queues and two (2) status queues. The SAR determines if either status queue is full by comparing the address written by the SAR into such status queue with the address written by the host periodically to the SAR where the host is in the status queue. The host determines if either control queue is full by comparing the address written by the host into such control queue with the address written by the SAR periodically to the host where the SAR is in the control queue.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
