  • Patent number: 11677672
    Abstract: A switch is provided for routing packets in an interconnection network. The switch includes egress ports to transmit packets, and ingress ports to receive packets. The switch also includes a buffer capacity circuit configured to obtain local buffer capacity for buffers configured to buffer packets transmitted via the switch. The switch also includes a telemetry circuit configured to receive telemetry flow control units from next switches coupled to the switch.

  • Publication number: 20220014478
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a network interface device comprising dataplane circuitry, when operational, is to generate a representation of aggregated network resource consumption information based on network resource consumption at the network interface device or at least one other network device and to transmit at least one packet with a multi-bit representation of the aggregated network resource consumption information to a second network interface device. In some examples, the network resource consumption information comprises one or more of: available transmit bandwidth, transmit bandwidth used by a queue or flow, queue depth, measured queueing time duration, expected queueing time duration, packet latency, or normalized in-flight bytes.

    Abstract: Technologies for switch link and ply management for variable oversubscription ratios include powering up and down links of one or more network plys according to bandwidth demand, desired oversubscription ratio and/or other parameters. Telemetry data representing one or more network traffic metrics of one or more switch plies is monitored to determine respective power states of the plurality of links associated with the one or more switch plies as a function of a desired oversubscription ratio calculated based on the telemetry data. The respective power state of the plurality of links is set accordingly.

  • Patent number: 11095560
    Abstract: Technologies for Ethernet gateway congestion management in HPC architectures include a high-performance computing (HPC) switch with an Ethernet gateway that is configured to receive an HPC packet from an HPC fabric via a virtual lane (VL) of the Ethernet gateway. The Ethernet gateway is further configured to determine whether the HPC packet corresponds to a backward error correction notification (BECN), identify one or more priority code points (PCPs) of the HPC packet corresponding to a BECN as a function of the VL on which the HPC packet was received, and generate an Ethernet priority-based flow control (PFC) frame that includes the one or more identified PCPs in a header of the Ethernet PFC frame. Additionally, the Ethernet gateway is configured to transmit the Ethernet PFC frame to an Ethernet fabric as a function of the one or more identified PCPs. Other embodiments are described herein.
