Abstract:
Techniques for sending Compute Express Link (CXL) packets over Ethernet (CXL-E) in a composable data center that may include disaggregated, composable servers. The techniques may include receiving, from a first server device, a request to bind the first server device with a multiple logical device (MLD) appliance. Based at least in part on the request, a first CXL-E connection may be established for the first server device to export a computing resource to the MLD appliance. The techniques may also include receiving, from the MLD appliance, an indication that the computing resource is available, and receiving, from a second server device, a second request for the computing resource. Based at least in part on the second request, a second CXL-E connection may be established for the second server device to consume or otherwise utilize the computing resource of the first server device via the MLD appliance.

Abstract:
Techniques to eliminate duplicate packets from a stream of packets. A method includes receiving a packet, hashing elements of the packet to obtain a packet partial signature, generating an action data value by appending, to the packet partial signature, unhashed packet information, accessing a hash store location in a hash store based on the action data value, determining, based on data stored at the hash store location, whether the packet is a duplicate of a previously-received packet, and based on whether the packet is a duplicate of a previously-received packet, one of allowing and preventing one of the packet and a copy of the packet to reach a downstream network node.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for managing exchanges in a network device of a storage area network are disclosed. In a first “host-side” exchange initiated by an initiator and between the initiator and the network device, one or more frames are received from an initiator and/or sent to the initiator. At least one of the frames pertains to access of a virtual storage location of a virtual storage unit representing one or more physical storage locations on one or more physical storage units of the storage area network. One or more “disk-side” exchanges between the network device and one or more targets (i.e., physical storage units) are initiated in response to the first exchange. In the disk-side exchanges, one or more frames are sent from the network device to one of the targets and/or received from the target. Exchange information for the host-side exchange and the associated disk-side exchanges are updated throughout the exchanges.

Abstract:
A method of congestion mitigation may include determining whether a host is sending a read command or a write command to an NVMe controller, and in response to a determination that the host is sending the read command, transmitting the read command via a first transmission control protocol (TCP) connection between the host and the NVMe controller. The method may further include in response to a determination that the host is sending the write command, transmitting the write command via a second TCP connection between the host and the NVMe controller.
