Abstract: Techniques to eliminate duplicate packets from a stream of packets. A method includes receiving a packet, hashing elements of the packet to obtain a packet partial signature, generating an action data value by appending, to the packet partial signature, unhashed packet information, accessing a hash store location in a hash store based on the action data value, determining, based on data stored at the hash store location, whether the packet is a duplicate of a previously-received packet, and based on whether the packet is a duplicate of a previously-received packet, one of allowing and preventing one of the packet and a copy of the packet to reach a downstream network node.

Abstract: A method for execution by a storage network includes receiving a request pertaining to a data object. Metadata associated with the data object is determined and used to identify data segments associated with the data object and a set of storage units associated with the data segments. Based on a set of query requests, a response is received from a storage unit from the set of storage units. When the response indicates a storage environment that is unfavorable as compared to predetermined performance metrics, the storage network facilitates migration of encoded data slices associated with the storage unit to another storage unit.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods for routing requests and responses targeting a shared resource. A queue in a communication fabric is located in a path between the requesters and a shared resource. In some embodiments, the shared resource is a shared address translation cache stored in an endpoint. The physical channel between the queue and the shared resource supports multiple virtual channels. The queue assigns at least one entry to each virtual channel of a group of virtual channels where the group includes a virtual channel for each address translation request type from a single requester of the multiple requesters. When the at least one entry for a given requester is de-allocated, the queue allocates this entry only with requests from the assigned virtual channel even if the empty entry is the only available entry of the queue.
