  • Patent number: 11683276
    Abstract: In one embodiment, quasi-Output Queue behavior of a packet switching device is achieved using virtual output queue (VOQ) ordering independently determined for each particular output queue (OQ), including using maintained latency information of the VOQs of the particular OQ. In one embodiment, all packets from all VOQs with a same port-priority destination experience similar latency within specific time-window, which is similar to the packet service provided by an Output Queue switch architecture. In one embodiment, all input ports that send traffic to same output port-priority receive bandwidth which is proportional to their bandwidth demand divided by total bandwidth. Prior approaches that emulate the performance of an OQ switch architecture require complex and time-consuming scheduling determinations and do not scale. Independently determining the order for sending packets from the VOQs associated with each particular OQ provides a scalable and implementable system with quasi-Output Queue behavior.

  • Patent number: 11637787
    Abstract: In one example, a collection network node comprising a plurality of ingress ports obtains, at a first one of the plurality of ingress ports, a first copy of a packet of a packet flow comprising a plurality of packets. The collection network node determines whether the collection network node had previously obtained a copy of any of the plurality of packets of the packet flow. When it is determined that the collection network node had previously obtained a copy, the collection network node determines whether the collection network node had previously obtained a copy at the first one of the plurality of ingress ports or at a different one of the plurality of ingress ports. When it is determined that the collection network node had previously obtained a copy at a different one of the plurality of ingress ports, the collection network node refrains from forwarding the first copy.

  • Patent number: 11528227
    Abstract: A system for facilitating an enhanced traffic profile is provided. During operation, the system can determine a first traffic profile indicating whether to drop a packet based on the utilization of a queue. The packets from the queue can be forwarded via an egress port reachable via a fabric. The system can also determine a second traffic profile indicating whether to indicate congestion in the packet based on the utilization. The system can then determine a third traffic profile by combining the first and second traffic profiles. The third traffic profile can indicate acceptance at the queue for a subset of packets with a low-level congestion indicator or selected for dropping based on the utilization. Subsequently, the system can, if the packet is selected for dropping, determine whether to accept the packet at the queue with a high-level congestion indicator in the packet based on the third traffic profile.
