摘要:
A network system includes a central processing unit and a peripheral device in electrical communication with the central processing unit. The peripheral device has at least one power input and a data input. The network system also includes an out of band controller in electrical communication with the central processing unit, the peripheral device, and an external management interface. Responsive to an identified threat, the out of band controller is configured to disable the at least one power input and the data input to the peripheral device, where the disablement indicates to the central processing unit that a hot plug event has occurred with respect to the peripheral device. The out of band controller is also configured to enable auxiliary power to the peripheral device such that the out of band controller remains in communication with the peripheral device during remediation of the identified threat.

Examples include registering a device driver with an operating system, including registering available hardware offloads. The operating system receives a call to a hardware offload, inserts a binary filter representing the hardware offload into a hardware component and causes the execution of the binary filter by the hardware component when the hardware offload is available, and executes the binary filter in software when the hardware offload is not available.

Technologies for demoting cache lines to a shared cache include a compute device (106) with a processor (108) having multiple cores (110), a cache memory (112) with a core-local cache (114) and a shared cache (116), and a cache line demote device (130). A processor core is configured to retrieve a portion of data of a received network packet and move the data into one or more core-local cache lines of the core-local cache. The processor core is further configured to perform a processing operation on the data and transmit a cache line demotion command to the cache line demote device subsequent to having completed the processing operation. The cache line demote device is configured to perform a cache line demotion operation to demote the data from the core-local cache lines to shared cache lines of the shared cache.

Technologies for control plane separation at a network interface controller (NIC) of a compute device configured to transmit, by a resource of the compute device, commands to a physical function managed by a network interface controller (NIC) of the compute device. The NIC is further to establish a data plane separate from a control plane, wherein the control plane comprises one of the trusted control path and the untrusted control path. Additionally, the resource is configured to transmit the commands via one of the trusted control path or the untrusted control path based on a trust level associated with the physical function. Other embodiments are described herein.

Methods and apparatus for supporting active link status during LAN interface reset and reconfigurations. Under one aspect, during normal operations traffic is transmitted over an Ethernet link coupling a first link partner to a second link partner. In response to a network interface re-configuration event, transmission of traffic over the Ethernet link is paused while keeping the Physical layer (PHY) of the Ethernet link active. The configuration of the first link partner is updated while the transmission of traffic is paused and the PHY of the Ethernet link is active. Upon completion of the configuration update, the link partners resume transmission of traffic over the Ethernet link. Additional schemes are provided that support re-configuration of network interfaces that support link and per priority flow control. According to another aspect, separate power domains are used for the PHY and the MAC circuitry, enabling the MAC circuitry to be reset via a power cycle while maintaining power to the PHY circuitry.

Network interface devices with remote storage control. In some embodiments, a network interface device may include receiver circuitry and remote storage device control circuitry. The remote storage device control circuitry may be coupled to the receiver circuitry and may share a physical support with the receiver circuitry. The remote storage device control circuitry may be configured to control writing of data from the receiver circuitry to a remote storage device that does not share a physical support with the remote storage device control circuitry.
