Abstract: Embodiments herein provide more efficient, more flexible, and more cost-effective ways to provide additional and/or increased functionality to an information handling system. Presented herein are embodiments of an application acceleration port interface module (which embodiments may be referred to herein for convenience as “AAPIM”) into which pluggable I/O (input/output) modules may be inserted and the other ends inserted into ports of an information handling system to provide the information handling system with increase capabilities (e.g., increased resource, such as added processing, and increased services, such as new applications or accelerated services). AAPIM embodiments are versatile solutions to address application acceleration needs that can be quickly reprogrammed to address specific needs of a user.

Abstract: A hash collision mitigation system includes a source device coupled to a destination device by a networking device. The networking device receives a first packet from the source device, and uses first packet information included in the first packet to perform a hash operation on the first packet and generate a hash value. The networking device then determines that the hash value has caused a hash collision with a first hash value forwarding entry in a hash forwarding table in the networking device and, in response, generates a first Policy Based Routing (PBR) entry for the first packet. The first PBR entry is configured to provide for the forwarding of at least one second packet received from the destination device and directed to the source device, and that first PBR is stored in a Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) in the networking device.

Abstract: A microburst visibility system includes a switch device coupled to each sender device(s) and receiver device(s). The switch device receives flows transmitted by the sender device(s) to the receiver device(s). For each flow that include data packets that are stored in a first queue, the switch device provides a first queue identifier for the first queue in a flow record associated with that flow and modifies, for each data packet that is transmitted as part of that flow, flow information in data packet counter(s) that are associated with the first queue identifier in the flow record associated with that flow. When the switch device detects a microburst in the first queue, it captures the flow information in each data packet counter that is associated with the first queue identifier in each of the flow records included in the switch device, and provides it for analysis.
