Abstract: A bump-on-the-wire (BOTW) associated with a sender host receives a data packet destined for a receiver host, where the data packet was transmitted by the sender host, where the sender bump-on-the-wire is at a position on a data path between the sender host and a receiver host, and where the sender host, the receiver host, the sender bump-on-the-wire, and a receiver bump-on-the-wire are clock-synchronized with respect to one another. The sender BOTW records a sender timestamp of the data packet. The sender BOTW receives, from a receiver bump-on-the-wire associated with the receiver host, a receiver timestamp of the data packet along with auxiliary information. The sender BOTW determines a congestion metric based on the sender timestamp, the receiver timestamp, and the auxiliary information, and transmits, to the sender host, a congestion signal based on the congestion metric.

Abstract: Network traffic is monitored to coordinate control of data flows. Data flows between sender hosts and a receiver host are identified. A first data flow and a second data flow have respective priorities. Delay thresholds are assigned to the first data flow and second data flow based on their respective priorities. One-way delays of data packets of the first and second data flows are monitored relative to the assigned delay thresholds. Responsive to determining that the one-way delay of the first data flow's data packets exceed a first delay threshold, transmissions of the first data flow's data packets are paused for a first amount of time. Responsive to determining that the one-way delay of the second data flow's data packets exceed a second delay threshold, transmissions of the second data flow's packets are paused for a second amount of time that exceeds the first amount of time.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of an emergency starting power supply used to start a device or energize a battery. This emergency starting power supply automatically detects the contact impedance of the device or battery and provides prompts from a user interface to the user based on this detected contact impedance. The prompts guide the user as the user on how to adjust the impedance of the connections to the device or battery so that it is connected optimally to the device or battery so that the emergency starting power supply can provide the device or battery with enough energy to start the motor or engine.

Abstract: An application determines conditions of the network between a sender host and a receiver host. The application determines, from the conditions, a length of pause to apply. The application transmits the traffic until the length of pause is completely applied to the network using a series of quantized pauses. When the length of pause exceeds a threshold, the application instructs the sender host to pause the traffic for a first amount of time, and where the length of pause does not exceed the threshold, the application instructs the sender host to pause the traffic for a second smaller amount of time. The application detects a new set of conditions of the network between the first node and the second node, and applies a new series of quantized pauses to transmission of the traffic based on a new length of pause determined from the new set of conditions.

Abstract: A regular buffer and a shadow buffer are maintained at a receiver host. Responsive to receiving a data flow from a sender host that is clock-synchronized with the receiver host using a common reference clock, a first indication of data of the data flow is stored to the regular buffer, the shadow buffer is transitioned from an idle state to an active state, and a counter of the shadow buffer is incremented that indicates a unit of data traffic received. A dynamic drain rate is determined based on a number of units of the data removed from the regular buffer per unit of time while the shadow buffer is in the active state, where the shadow buffer reverts to an idle state responsive to a break in the receiver host receiving the data flow. Dwell time is calculated as a function of the counter of the shadow buffer and the dynamic drain rate, and a congestion signal for the data flow is determined based on the dwell time.
