Abstract: In one embodiment, a network device comprises a memory to store a set of congestion control algorithms, at least one processor to receive data associated with a network flow, automatically select a congestion control algorithm from the set of congestion control algorithms based on the data of the network flow, and apply the selected congestion control algorithm to control traffic of the network flow.

Abstract: A system includes multiple processors to communicate with one another via one or more network devices. One or more of the processors are to specify, for a given type of a collective operation to be executed by the system, a packet-processing configuration to be applied by the network devices in processing packets relating to collective operations of the given type, and, during execution of a collective operation of the given type, to mark the packets relating to the collective operation with a mark indicative of the packet-processing configuration, thereby instructing one or more of the network devices to process the packets relating to the collective operation, responsively to the mark, in accordance with the packet-processing configuration.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a network device includes a plurality of ports to receive packets, and processing circuitry to determine adaptive routing profile classifications of the received packets, make adaptive routing decisions for the packets based on different adaptive routing profiles associated with the adaptive routing profile classifications of the packets, and forward the received packets to the ports according to the adaptive routing decisions.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for managing cloud infrastructure performance for cyclical workloads processed in a cloud infrastructure includes one or more processor to receive values of a period metric of the cyclical workloads based on data collected by network devices in the cloud infrastructure, and adjust at least one network device management parameter of at least one of the network devices based on the period metric values causing changes to the processing of the cyclical workloads in the cloud infrastructure, and memory to store data used by the at least one processor.

Abstract: Systems and methods herein are for one or more processing units of a subnet manager (SM) to communicate configuration information with at least one subnet management agent (SMA) that is associated with at least one switch and with a host machine, the configuration information to enable the at least one switch to configure a forwarding table based in part on a mapping of at least one virtual network address to physical network addresses of two or more physical ports of the host machine, and the configuration information to enable the host machine to communicate with other host machines using the at least one switch and the at least one virtual network address.

Abstract: A system for transmitting data is described, among other things. An illustrative system is disclosed to include one or more circuits to perform transmitting message-based data over packets. The circuits are capable of identifying a first message, transmitting a first portion of the first message in a first packet, the first packet including a bit indicating the first packet is message-based, and transmitting an end portion of the first message in a second packet, the second packet including a first bit indicating the second packet is message-based and a second bit indicating the second packet comprises the end portion of the first message.

Abstract: System, methods, and devices for providing an address resolution service are provided. In one example, an Address Resolution Service (ARS) node is described as being in communication with one or more endpoints. The ARS node may include one or more circuits that respond to an ARS query message issued by the one or more endpoints with a response message that translates a layer three address to a layer two address.

Abstract: API in conjunction with a bridge chip and first and second hosts having first and second memories respectively. The bridge chip connects the memories. The API comprises key identifier registration functionality to register a key identifier for each of plural computer processes performed by the first host, thereby to define plural key identifiers; and/or access control functionality to provide at least computer process P1 performed by the first host with access, typically via the bridge chip, to at least local memory buffer M2 residing in the second memory, typically after the access control functionality first validates that process P1 has a key identifier which has been registered, e.g., via the key identifier registration functionality. Typically, the access control functionality also prevents at least computer process P2, performed by the first host, which has not registered a key identifier, from accessing local memory buffer M2, e.g., via the bridge chip.
