    Abstract: A network element includes at least one communication port and a processor. The communication port is configured to communicate with a peer communication port of a peer network element. The processor is configured to support a full-boot mode and a fast-boot mode, to establish, by negotiation with the peer network element, whether the fast-boot mode is supported both for the communication port and for the peer communication port, and, in response to finding that the fast-boot mode is supported both for the communication port and for the peer communication port, to coordinate with the peer network element a boot of the communication port and of the peer communication port, both using the fast-boot mode.

    Abstract: A compute node includes a network-connected device, and a baseboard management controller (BMC) that is connected to the network-connected device by a sideband interface. The network-connected device is configured to communicate with a network. The BMC is configured to configure the network-connected device, via the sideband interface, to engage in a debug session over the network with a remote debug device.

    Abstract: Apparatus for data communications includes a host interface, which is configured to be connected to a bus of a host computer having a processor and a memory. Processing circuitry, which is coupled to the host interface, is configured to receive video data with respect to a sequence of pixels, the video data including data words of more than eight bits per pixel for at least one pixel component of the pixels, and to write the video data, via the host interface, to at least one buffer in the memory while justifying the video data in the memory so that the successive pixels in the sequence are byte-aligned in the at least one buffer.

    Abstract: Communication apparatus includes a host interface and a network interface, which receives from a packet communication network at least one packet stream including a sequence of data packets, which include headers containing respective sequence numbers and data payloads containing slices of the data segment having a predefined, fixed size per slice. Packet processing circuitry is configured to receive the data packets from the network interface, and to map the data payloads of the data packets in the at least one packet stream, using a linear mapping of the sequence numbers, to respective addresses in the buffer.

    Abstract: A network adapter includes a host interface, a network interface, a memory and packet processing circuitry. The memory holds a shared buffer and multiple queues allocated to the multiple host processors. The packet processing circuitry is configured to receive from the network interface data packets destined to the host processors, to store payloads of at least some of the data packets in the shared buffer, to distribute headers of at least some of the data packets to the queues, to serve the data packets to the host processors by applying scheduling among the queues, to detect congestion in the data packets destined to a given host processor among the host processors, and, in response to the detected congestion, to mitigate the congestion in the data packets destined to the given host processor, while retaining uninterrupted processing of the data packets destined to the other host processors.

    Abstract: A vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) is provided. The VCSEL includes a mesa structure disposed on a substrate. The mesa structure has a first reflector, a second reflector, and an active cavity material structure disposed between the first and second reflectors. The mesa structure defines an optical window through which the VCSEL is configured to emit light. The mesa structure further includes a passivation layer disposed at least within the optical window. The passivation layer is designed to seal the mesa structure to reduce the humidity sensitivity of the VCSEL and to protect the VCSEL from contaminants. The passivation layer also provides an improvement in overshoot control, broader modulation bandwidth, and faster pulsing of the VCSEL such that the VCSEL may provide a high speed, high bandwidth signal with controlled overshoot and dumping behavior.
