Abstract: An entropy value is generated for a data packet to be transmitted on a computing network. The entropy value is usable to select or change a network path for the data packet. In response to receiving an acknowledgement message for the data packet, the entropy value is saved in a storage structure if the entropy value is acknowledged as not congested. When transmitting an additional data packet, the oldest saved entropy from the storage structure is reused and the oldest saved entropy value is invalidated.

Abstract: Excessive latencies and power consumption are avoided when a large number of leaf nodes (LNs) contend simultaneously to join a time slotted channel hopping wireless communication network having a root node (RN) interfaced to LNs by one or more intermediate nodes (INs). A first plurality of shared transmit/receive slots (STRSs) is allocated for at least one IN, and a second plurality of STRSs is advertised for use by contending LNs, where the first plurality is larger than the second plurality. When a LN joins, its STRSs are re-defined such that most become shared transmit-only slots (STOSs) and no STRSs remain. The numbers of STRSs allocated to INs may vary inversely with their hop counts from the RN. One or more STOSs may be added for each of one or more INs in response to a predetermined network condition.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for achieving physically dispersed item-dispersal patterns in queue tables that are used as circular buffers in a FIFO system. The techniques achieve the physically dispersed item-dispersal patterns while retaining FIFO semantics, efficient data ingest, efficient data access, and low latency for both fixed and variable-size ingest data. Because consecutively inserted rows are written to physically dispersed locations on persistent storage, lock contention between concurrent ingest sessions is significantly reduced. Once a physically dispersed item-dispersal pattern is established for a first set of inserted rows, subsequent rows are added by overwriting the existing rows. The physical dispersal of the initial rows may be accomplished by setting values in a slot number column such that updates that are made in a sequence that is based on the slot number column exhibit a desired physical dispersal pattern.
