Abstract: A cutting element assembly includes a cutter support including a cutter bore. A cutting element is in the cutter bore and a resilient element is integral with the cutter support. The resilient element is longitudinally compressible and has a displacement of greater than 0.1 mm and optionally less than 2 mm. Another cutting assembly includes a cutter support coupled to multiple cutting elements. A resilient element of the cutter support is compressible based on a force applied to the cutter support through one or more of the cutting elements. The resilient element can include a slit in the cutter support. A slit may, for instance, extend perpendicular or transverse to an axis of the cutting elements and allow the cutter support to flex and close off or reduce a size of the slit when forces act on one or more of the cutting elements.

Abstract: Discussed herein is a framework that provisions for customized processing for different classes of traffic. A network device in a communication path between a source host machine and a destination host machine extracts a tag from a packet received by the network device. The packet originates at a source executing on the source host machine and whose destination is the destination host machine. The tag set by the source and indicative of a first traffic class to be associated with the packet, the first traffic class being selected by the source from a plurality of traffic classes. The network device determines, based on the tag, that the first traffic class corresponds to a latency sensitive traffic and processes the packet using one or more settings configured at the network device for processing packets associated with the first traffic class.
