Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a load balancer that is configured to selectively perform ordering of requests from the one or more cores, allocate the requests into queue elements prior to allocation to one or more receiver cores of the one or more cores to process the requests, and perform two or more operations of: adjust a number of queues associated with a core of the one or more cores by changing a number of consumer queues (CQs) allocated to a single domain, adjust a number of target cores in a group of target cores to be load balanced, and order memory space writes from multiple caching agents (CAs).

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to generate a timestamp are disclosed. Examples disclosed herein generate a correction factor based on a first timestamp and a second timestamp, the first timestamp generated before a first data packet is obtained by ethernet physical coding sublayer (PCS), the second timestamp generated before the first data packet is obtained by a physical ethernet port coupled to the ethernet PCS; and generate a third timestamp for a second data packet based on the correction factor and a fourth timestamp, the fourth timestamp generated by network interface circuitry for the second data packet.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture have been disclosed for performance scaling with parallel processing of sliding window management on multi-core architecture. An example apparatus includes at least one memory, instructions in the apparatus, and processor circuitry to at least one of execute or instantiate the instructions to partition a packet flow into two or more sub flows based on a packet flow distribution configuration, the two or more sub flows associated respectively with two or more sliding windows that are able to slide in parallel, provide the two or more sub flows to a buffer to schedule distribution of the two or more sub flows, dequeue the two or more sub flows from the buffer to one or more hardware cores, and transmit the two or more sub flows to a destination device.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a network interface device that includes an interface and circuitry. In some examples, the circuitry coupled to the interface is to apply encryption for packets received from a first network interface device and tunnel the encrypted packets to a second network interface device. In some examples, forwarding operations by the first network interface device and forwarding operations in the second network interface device are based on different header fields.

Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and storage medium associated with a traffic shaper having one or more policers and adaptive timers are disclosed herein. The traffic shaper is to shape packet traffics of a plurality of regulated traffic generating entities. The policer is to process incoming packets of the regulated traffic generating entities and determine whether to forward or temporarily hold the packets. A buffer is to store the packets to be temporarily held; and the timer task manager is to process timer tasks of the regulated traffic generating entities and determine whether to discard the timer tasks or forward to regulate release of held packets of the regulated traffic generating entities. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.

Abstract: The invention relates to improving the quality of media data in video conferences having end-points with heterogeneous capability sets. Transmission modes are negotiated based on the highest capability codecs supported by each respective end-point. Each end-point communicates data based on its individually negotiated transmission mode. Data translations are implemented as necessary to ensure that each end-point receives media data according to a transmission mode that it supports. Accordingly, all end-points in a multi-point video conference employ their most capable codecs, thereby greatly enhancing the overall media quality in multi-point video conferences having heterogeneous end-points.
