Abstract: Techniques are described that can be used to enable a transfer of an operating system from one machine to another. The transfer permits the operating system to be available to the target machine at buffers that are accessible to one or more application or other logic. In some implementations, information related to an operating system migration is stored in a buffer that is accessible to an application that is to use the information and thereby avoids a copy of such information from an intermediate buffer to an application buffer.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided. In the method of this embodiment, in response, at least in part, to a determination that an idle condition exists, one or more packets may be transmitted to indicate, at least in part, that a transmitter is desired to refrain from transmitting, during one or more predetermined time intervals, to a receiver. Also in the method of this embodiment, also in response, at least in part, to the determination that the idle condition exists, the receiver may be de-activated, at least in part, during the one or more predetermined time intervals. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein that can be used to moderate the rate at which interrupts are emitted. A network component includes the capability to issue interrupts in response to receipt of network protocol units designated as regular and high priority or in response to other causes. High priority interrupts may be accumulated. A number of accumulated high priority interrupts may be decremented each time either a regular or high priority interrupt is transferred. Addition to a number of accumulated high priority interrupts may occur at a higher rate than a rate of availability of regular priority interrupts. A counter may be used to make regular priority interrupts available. The counter may be reset each time a high priority interrupt is provided.
