    Abstract: In one embodiment, a next set of packets in a first flow may be identified. A counter may be incremented, where the counter indicates a first number of initial sets of packets in first flow that have been identified. The identified next set of packets may be prioritized such that the first number of initial sets of packets in the first flow are prioritized and a sequential order of all packets in the first flow is maintained. The identifying, incrementing, and prioritizing may be repeated until no further sets of packets in the first flow remain to be identified or the first number of initial sets of packets is equal to a first predefined number.

    Abstract: A network switch includes a buffer to store network packets linked to queues to feed the packets to output ports of the switch associated with the queues. The buffer is shared dynamically among multiple traffic pools. The network switch determines per-pool dynamic thresholds each based on an amount of unused buffer space, and per-queue dynamic thresholds based on amounts of unused buffer space available in the pools with which the queues are associated. The network switch receives packets, and for each received packet, the network switch admits the packet to the pool with which the packet is associated and the queue for which the packet is destined if (i) occupancy of the associated pool is less than the corresponding per-pool dynamic threshold, and (ii) occupancy of the queue for which the packet is destined is less than the corresponding per-queue dynamic threshold, and otherwise drops the packet.

    Abstract: A network switch includes a buffer to store network packets and packet descriptors (PDs) used to link the packets into queues for output ports. The buffer and PDs are shared among the multiple traffic pools. The switch receives a multicast packet for queues in a given pool. The switch determines if there is unused buffer space available for packets in the given pool based on a pool dynamic threshold, if there is unused buffer space available for packets in each queue based on a queue dynamic threshold for the queue, if there are unused PDs available to the given pool based on a pool dynamic threshold for PDs, and if there are unused PDs available for each queue based on a queue dynamic threshold for PDs for the queue. The network switch admits the packet only into the queues for which all of the determining operations pass.

    Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment, a source leaf device receives a packet. The source leaf device identifies a flowlet associated with the packet and a destination leaf device to which the packet is to be transmitted. The source leaf device may determine whether the flowlet is a new flowlet. The source leaf device may select an uplink of the source leaf device via which to transmit the flowlet to the destination leaf device according to whether the flowlet is a new flowlet. The source leaf device may then transmit the packet to the destination leaf device via the uplink.
