Abstract: A network device implementing the subject system for end to end flow control may include at least one processor circuit that may be configured to detect that congestion is being experienced by at least one queue of a port and identify another network device that is transmitting downstream traffic being queued at the at least one queue of the port that is at least partially causing the congestion. The at least one processor circuit may be further configured to generate an end to end flow control message that comprises an identifier of the port, the end to end flow control message indicating that the downstream traffic should be flow controlled at the another network device. The at least one processor circuit may be further configured to transmit, out-of-band and through at least one intermediary network device, the end to end flow control message to the another network device.

Abstract: Hierarchical congestion identification and control hardware supports multi-level congestion control at flow, tenant and virtual machine (VM) levels. Hardware implementation expedites response to congestion notifications and frees-up processor bandwidth. A hierarchy of transmit shapers in a transmit ring scheduler isolate rate adjustments for flows, tenants and VMs. The hierarchy of shapers provide a hierarchy of congestion control nodes to control flows and aggregate flows. Hardware quickly associates congested flows with shapers before or after receiving a congestion notification. The associations may be used by any flow control algorithm to selectively rate-control shapers to control flow rates. Shaper associations and configured states, scheduler configuration, congestion states, thresholds and other flow information may be stored and monitored to filter data flows that need attention and to raise alerts at flow, tenant and VM levels.

Abstract: Embodiments regard analytic operations for data services. An embodiment of a method includes: receiving a request at a database system from a user to embed a representation of analytics data on a first page generating by a processing unit of the database system an embed area in the page in which to display the analytics data on the page; storing in a memory of the database system metadata associated with the page describing the embed area; and upon the database system detecting an access to the first page, generating by the database system the first page with the analytics data located in the embed area based upon the metadata.

Abstract: A method and system to dynamically manager power in a communication system are provided herein. The method comprises the steps of monitoring a transmit data queue once every first pre-determined period of time and determining whether the transmit data queue is empty for a pre-determined number of times. The method further includes the step of generating a transition state signal to stop de-queuing of data from the transmit queue if the transmit data queue is empty for the pre-determined number of times and selectively operating portions of a Physical Layer (PHY) that are used for functions other than transmitting and receiving an idle signal in a low power mode.

Abstract: A dual cryptographic keying system. In particular implementations, a method includes responsive to an initial session key negotiation, storing security association information for a tunnel in a security association memory; responsive to a session key renegotiation, storing security association information for the tunnel in a cache; decrypting received packets associated with the tunnel conditionally using the security association information in the cache or the security association information in the security association memory; and upon an expiration condition, overwriting the security association information, for the tunnel, in the security association memory with the security association information, for the tunnel, copied from the cache.

Abstract: Priority-aware hierarchical communication traffic scheduling methods and apparatus are disclosed. Communication traffic is scheduled by schedulers. Each scheduler supports a multiple priority scheduling function to schedule communication traffic having any of multiple priorities. The communication traffic scheduled by the schedulers is further scheduled based on the priorities of the communication traffic scheduled by each of the schedulers. Traffic shaping may also be integrated into a hierarchical scheduler. The priority-aware further scheduling and the optional shaping may be implemented, for example, using multiple Active lists, one per traffic priority, and a Pending list to which a scheduler can be added if it has communication traffic to schedule but is not allowed to schedule that traffic due to the shaping.
