Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving packets in a flow at a network device in a deterministic network, wherein at least one of the packets is transmitted from a source out of sync due to collision with another flow at the source, analyzing at the network device, the flow to reconstruct a period of the flow, and processing at the network device, the packets according to the period to synchronize the processing of the packets at the network device with the source and remove jitter from the flow. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes sampling text in a received packet at a network device and analyzing the sampled text using a sampled deterministic finite automata (DFA) to identify matches between a set of regular expressions and the text. The sampled DFA is created with the regular expressions sampled at a sampling rate calculated for the regular expressions using operations including selecting a minimum sampling rate from sampling rates computed for each of the regular expressions based on a minimum length of the text that can match the regular expression. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes identifying at a network device, a number of items for matching at a hash table, the number of items exceeding matching available with ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) at the network device, defining at the network device, an optimal cyclic redundancy check (CRC) polynomial based on the number of items for matching at the hash table, and generating at the network device, an optimal hash function based on the optimal CRC polynomial to extend packet classification capability at the network device. An apparatus is also disclosed herein.
