Abstract: A method includes receiving in a network switch of a communication network communication traffic that originates from a source node and arrives over a route through the communication network traversing one or more preceding network switches, for forwarding to a destination node. In response to detecting in the network switch a compromised ability to forward the communication traffic to the destination node, a notification is sent to the preceding network switches. The notification is to be consumed by the preceding network switches and requests the preceding network switches to modify the route so as not to traverse the network switch.

Abstract: A switching device includes a plurality of ports and a switching core, which is coupled to transfer data packets between ingress and egress ports. Switching logic maintains a descriptor queue containing respective descriptors corresponding to the data packets that have been received and queued by the ports, and responsively to the respective descriptors, instructs the switching core to transfer the queued data packets between the ports. Port logic, which is associated with each port, is configured, upon receipt of a data packet from the network at the port, to signal the switching logic to place a descriptor corresponding to the data packet in the descriptor queue and, upon identifying the data packet as meeting a predefined criterion, to convey a request to the switching logic, bypassing the descriptor queue, to instruct the switching core to transfer the data packet immediately to an egress port.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for network congestion management. The methods and systems receive a first packet complying with a first network protocol comprising a first congestion indicator representative of a presence or absence of network congestion and further comprising a first set of data associated with a second network protocol, and provide an indication of the presence or absence of network congestion generated based, at least in part, on the first congestion indicator. The methods and systems also receive a first packet complying with a first network protocol comprising a first set of data associated with a second network protocol, and output a second packet complying with the first network protocol comprising a first congestion indicator representative of a presence of network congestion.

Abstract: An apparatus includes multiple data sources and arbitration circuitry. The data sources are configured to send to a common destination data items and respective arbitration requests, such that the data items are sent to the destination regardless of receiving any indication that the data items were served to the destination in response to the respective arbitration requests. The arbitration circuitry is configured to receive and buffer the data items, to perform arbitration on the buffered data items responsively to the arbitration requests, and to serve the buffered data items to the destination in accordance with the arbitration.
