Abstract: This application discloses a method for forwarding a packet in a data center network. A first device obtains an original packet, and adds a first source label to the original packet to obtain a first packet. The first source label includes a forwarding type, an indication field, and an interface sequence. The forwarding type indicates that the first packet supports source label forwarding, the interface sequence indicates a first source label forwarding path of the original packet, and the indication field indicates information that is about an outbound interface and that should be read from the interface sequence. The first device sends the first packet to a next-hop switch through the outbound interface corresponding to the first source label forwarding path. The next-hop switch receives the first packet, and forwards the first packet based on the first source label.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for isolating input/output computing resources. In some embodiments, a host device may include a processor and logic coupled with the processor, to identify a tag identifier (Tag ID) for a process or container of the host device. The Tag ID may identify a queue pair of a hardware device of the host device for an outbound transaction from the processor to the hardware device, to be conducted by the process or container. Logic may further map the Tag ID to a Process Address Space Identifier (PASID) associated with an inbound transaction from the hardware device to the processor that used the identified queue pair. The process or container may use the PASID to conduct the outbound transaction via the identified queue pair. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.
