    Abstract: Systems and methods herein are for one or more processing units of a subnet manger (SM) to communicate configuration information with at least one subnet management agent (SMA) that is associated with at least one switch and with a host machine, the configuration information to enable the at least one switch to configure a forwarding table based in part on a mapping of at least one virtual network address to physical network addresses of two or more physical ports of the host machine, and the configuration information to enable the host machine to communicate with other host machines using the at least one switch and the at least one virtual network address.

    Abstract: A network device includes processing circuitry and a plurality of ports. The ports connect to a communication network. The processing circuitry is configured to receive, via an input port, data packets and probe packets that are addressed to a common output port, to store the data packets in a first queue and the probe packets in a second queue, both the first queue and the second queue are served by the output port, to produce telemetry data indicative of a state of the network device, based on a processing path that the data packets traverse within the network device, to schedule transmission of the data packets from the first queue at a first priority, and schedule transmission of the probe packets from the second queue at a second priority higher than the first priority, and to modify the scheduled probe packets so as to carry the telemetry data.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a network flow sampling system includes packet processing circuitry to process data packets of multiple network flows, and an adaptive policer to, for each one network flow of the multiple network flows compute a quantity of flow-specific sampling credits to be assigned to the one network flow responsively to a quantity of the network flows currently being processed by the packet processing circuitry, assign the flow-specific sampling credits to the one network flow, sample at least one of the data packets of the one network flow responsively to availability of the flow-specific sampling credits of the one network flow yielding sampled data, while applying sampling fairness among the network flows, and remove at least one of the flow-specific sampling credits of the one network flow from availability responsively to sampling the at least one data packet of the one network flow.

    Abstract: A device, communication system, and method are provided. In one example, a system for routing traffic is described that includes circuits to receive a plurality of packets associated with a destination, determine a plurality of bins based on the destination of the packets, wherein each bin of the plurality of bins is associated with a respective port of the plurality of ports, and, for each packet of the plurality of packets, select a bin of the plurality of bins and forward the packet via the port associated with the selected bin. Described circuits also receive an adaptive routing notification packet via a first port associated with a first bin and in response associate the first bin with a second port and de-associate the first bin with the first port.

    Abstract: A method for communication includes provisioning each node in a network with a respective set of two or more network addresses. Each node in succession is assigned a respective network address from the respective provisioned set that has not been assigned for use by any preceding node. Upon finding for a given node that all the network addresses in the respective provisioned set were assigned to preceding nodes, the preceding nodes are searched to identify a candidate node having an additional network address in the respective provisioned set, other than the assigned respective network address, that was not yet assigned to any of the nodes. The additional network address is assigned to the candidate node instead of the respective network address that was previously assigned to the candidate node, and the assigning of the network addresses to the nodes in the succession resumes following the candidate node.
