  • Patent number: 11356306
    Abstract: Technologies for cooperative link equalization include a network device with a network interface controller (NIC). The NIC is to monitor variation in a property of a link channel that connects the network device with a target network device. The NIC detects, based on the channel variation, an event that triggers a condition to change an equalization setting of the link channel. In response to the detection, the NIC communicates, via an in-band equalization control channel, changes to the equalization setting of the link channel to the target network device.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: June 7, 2022
    Assignee: Intel Corporation

  • Patent number: 10007634
    Abstract: Methods for implementing mini-mezzanine Open Compute Project (OCP) plug-and-play Network PHY Cards and associated apparatus. In accordance with one aspect, the MAC (Media Access Channel) and PHY (Physical) layer functions in one or more communication protocol stacks are split between a MAC block in a Platform Controller Hub (PCH) or processor SoC and a PHY card installed in a mezzanine slot of a platform and including one or more ports. During platform initialization operations, configuration parameters are read from the PHY card including a PHY card ID, and a corresponding configuration script is selected and executed to configure the PHY card for use in the platform. The configuration parameters are also used to enumerate PCIe devices associated with physical functions and ports supported by the PHY card.
