  • Publication number: 20230019974
    Abstract: A network device can place some or all of the packet processing pipeline into a low-power state for detected idle intervals of sufficient duration. The network device detects idleness greater than a critical duration and automatically engages a low-power mode involving clock throttling and/or clock gating. The power savings in the packet processing pipeline in the network device is based on the average long-term residency in idleness. The idle power is reduced for the packet processing pipeline in the network device by detecting average long-term idleness as a function of the minimum latency of the packet processing pipeline, which is used to reduce the clock rate of the packet processing pipeline, thereby resulting in power savings for the network device.

  • Patent number: 10148796
    Abstract: A network device in a network is provided that is configured to implement a process for modifying a timestamp in a packet that is a timing protocol packet. The timing protocol packet is encapsulated by a user data protocol (UDP) datagram, where the modified timestamp is written into the packet, but does not require a checksum of the UDP datagram to be changed. The process includes receiving a packet including a first timestamp over the network, receiving the first timestamp from the packet and a second timestamp to be written to the packet, and determining a third timestamp that is a modification of the second timestamp to be written to the packet, the third timestamp having least significant bits modified from the second timestamp such that the checksum of the UDP datagram is unchanged. The process writes the third timestamp into the packet and transmits the UDP datagram to the network.

  • Patent number: 9419911
    Abstract: A method for packet job scheduler in data processing based on workload self-learning is disclosed. In response to receiving an incoming packet, the packet processor checks workload usage of an isolation group (IG) associated with the incoming packet, the IG being a classification of packets defined for the purpose of processing the incoming packet. The packet processor then determines whether the workload usage of the IG associated with the incoming packet exceeds a predetermined threshold. In response to the workload usage of the IG associated with the incoming packet not exceeding the predetermined threshold, the packet processor forwards the incoming packet to be executed by a packet execution unit, and then it updates the workload usage of the IG associated with the incoming packet based on execution of the incoming packet by the packet execution unit.

  • Patent number: 9317289
    Abstract: A method for processing data packets in a pipeline and executed by a network processor. The pipeline includes a plurality of logical blocks, each logical block configured to process one stage of the pipeline. Each data packet includes a descriptor and a data. The network processor is coupled to a resource for storing the data. The method reduces latency and enables non-blocking processing of data packets by forwarding a unique identification of a write request from a first logical block to a subsequent second logical block in the pipeline, the write request to modify the data in the resource. The method includes receiving the descriptor for processing at the first logical block, generating the write request and the unique identification for the write request, transmitting the write request to the resource, and transmitting the unique identification towards the second logical block before an acknowledgement is returned by the resource.

  • Patent number: 9110721
    Abstract: A method executed by a controller of a plurality of processing elements to reduce processing time of a data packet in a network element. The processing elements are arranged in a matrix. Each processing element has a point to point connection with each adjacent processing element, known as a hop. Each processing element also includes a separate processing element storage. The data packet includes a data and a descriptor, the data being transmitted to a first processing element for storage before the descriptor is received by the controller, and the data being processed after the descriptor is received. The method includes receiving the descriptor at the controller, determining that the first processing element does not have an available resource for processing the data, determining a second processing element based on a least number of hops to the first processing element, and transmitting the descriptor to the second processing element.
