  • Patent number: 11962505
    Abstract: A source switching device in a switching system receives information measured by a target switching device in the switching system. The information is indicative of an amount of data received in a given amount of time by the target switching device via each of two or more first links coupled to the target switching device. The source switching device determines, based at least in part on the information received from the target device, a path, from among multiple paths from the source switching device to the target switching device, for transmission of a packet flow directed to the target switching device. The source switching device transmits, via the determined path for transmission of the packet flow to the target device, one or more packets belonging to the packet flow.

  • Patent number: 11962490
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing per traffic class routing of data within a network. A network switch has the capability to classify traffic data based on High Performance Computing (HPC) related characteristics. Traffic classes are defined based on aspects of HPC, such as routing, ordering, redirection, quiesce, HPC protocol configuration, and telemetry. A switch can receive packets at an ingress port of a switch fabric, and determine traffic classifications for the packets. The traffic classification is selected from a group of defined traffic classes. Then, the switch can generate a fabric specific flag for the at least one packet that indicates the determined traffic classification, where the fabric specific flag is used for routing packets based on their assigned traffic classification. Examples of traffic classes include: low latency class; dedicated access class; bulk data class; best efforts class; and scavenger class.

  • Patent number: 11916800
    Abstract: Examples describe an egress port manager that uses an adaptive jitter selector to apply a jitter threshold level for a buffer, wherein the jitter threshold level is to indicate when egress of a packet segment from the buffer is allowed, wherein a packet segment comprises a packet header and wherein the jitter threshold level is adaptive based on a switch fabric load. In some examples, the jitter threshold level is to indicate a number of segments for the buffer's head of line (HOL) packet that are to be in the buffer or indicate a timer that starts at a time of issuance of a first read request for a first segment of the packet in the buffer. In some examples, the jitter threshold level is not more than a maximum transmission unit (MTU) size associated with the buffer.

  • Patent number: 11916782
    Abstract: A data-driven intelligent networking system that can facilitate global fairness is provided. The system can maintain state information of individual packet flows, which can be set up or released dynamically based on injected data. Each flow can be provided with a flow-specific input queue upon arriving at a switch. Packets of a respective flow are acknowledged after reaching the egress point of the network, and the acknowledgement packets are sent back to the ingress point of the flow along the same data path. As a result, each switch can obtain state information of each flow and enforce global fairness on a per-flow basis.

  • Patent number: 11909517
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a shared virtual environment are provided. The systems and methods include a unique architecture where domains known as “islands” are replicated across various local machines. These islands include objects that publish events. These events include messages that are provided from the island's controller, to a reflector for the addition of a timestamp. The timestamp ensures computational synchronization between all mirrored islands. The timestamped messages are provided from the reflector back to the controllers of the various islands. The controllers incorporate these messages into the existing message queue based upon the message timing. The local machines then execute the messages in time order, until the external message indicates. These timestamp “heartbeats” thus dictate the execution activity across all islands and ensure synchronization of all islands.
