In the manufacture of extruded polymers there are a number of surface defects referred to as sharkskin, snakeskin and orange peel which all generally relate to the rheology of the polymer melt. A severe form of surface defect is “melt fracture” which is believed to result when the shear rate at the surface of the polymer is sufficiently high that the surface of the polymer begins to fracture. That is, there is a slippage of the surface of the extruded polymer relative to the body of the polymer melt. The surface generally can't flow fast enough to keep up with the body of the extrudate and a fracture in the melt occurs generally resulting in a severe loss of surface properties for the extrudate. A polymer extension process is disclosed wherein these undesirable surface defects are eliminated.

A credit return field is used in a credit-based flow control system to indicate that one or more credits are being returned to a sending device from a receiving device. Based on the number of credits available, the sending device determines whether to send device or wait until more credits are returned. A write enable mask allows a wide data field to be used even when a smaller amount of data is to be written. A novel data packet uses a combined write enable mask and credit return field. In one mode, the field contains a write enable mask. In another mode, the field contains credit return data. If the field contains credit return data, a default value (e.g., all ones) is used for the write enable mask. The mode may be selected based on another value in the data packet.

Described herein are devices, systems, methods, and processes for optimizing network traffic distribution across multiple paths in a manner that is energy-efficient and environmental sustainability-aware. This may be achieved by leveraging time-series analytics and capacity planning based on seasonalities. Data associated with the Layer 3 topology of the network can be collected. Bandwidth can be pre-reserved on an energy-aware traffic engineering tunnel. The time-series data can be used to build a capacity plan based on the seasonalities. Nodes may be clustered based on usage patterns and network utilization seasonality. The data can be used to make decisions about when and where to combine or shut down paths for energy efficiency, while maintaining optimal network performance. A hysteresis mechanism may be incorporated to avoid oscillation when changing active links. Power savings can be achieved by fully turning off or depowering certain network components when they are not needed.

A server configuration tool is presented for autonomously configuring servers located in a network. The tool may autonomously configure multiple servers in parallel based on individual states of the servers, which may be periodically and simultaneously determined.

Server states (and corresponding actions) can be edited through a user interface to alter the server configuration process without code changes. At any one time, multiple servers may be in different states requiring different configuration operations to configure the servers to be ready for use. The present systems and methods can be used to move multiple servers iteratively through different configuration actions based on the individual state of each server and to perform non-conflicting configuration operations for multiple servers in parallel.
