Abstract: A source network device may transmit a lock request including a request for a network clement to allocate resources in association with an operation of a reduction tree. The source network device may transmit collision information associated with the lock request in response to receiving a lock failure notification indicating that one or more network elements have failed to allocate the resources. A network element may receive, from one or more child nodes, lock requests defined for a data-reduction operation associated with a data-reduction flow. The network clement may propagate a received lock request to a parent node. A root network device may transmit a lock command to network elements of a reduction tree. The lock command includes a request for an allocation of resources. The root network device may transmit collision information associated with the lock command in response to receiving a lock failure notification.
