    Abstract: A controller includes one or more ports and a processor. The one or more ports are to communicate with a network that includes multiple network devices. The processor is to receive, from a network device in the network, a request to perform a software update in the network device, to evaluate a permission condition in response to the request, to send to the network device a response granting the request when the permission condition is met, and to at least temporarily deny the request when the permission condition is not met.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products to generate a telemetry pipeline. In embodiments, the system includes a communication interface that receives one or more user-defined functions for the telemetry pipeline. The system also includes control logic that implements programmatically the one or more user-defined functions to collect telemetry data at a plurality of layers in the telemetry pipeline based on the one or more user-defined functions and calculate smart metrics at different layers of the plurality of layers in the telemetry pipeline. The smart metrics may be calculated at a layer closest to where associated telemetry data is collected.

    Abstract: A network device, system-on-a-chip, and method of performing an auto-negotiation for a planarized computing system. In response to a link request, switching hardware determines whether a source of the link request is planarized or non-planarized. If a mismatch between a received link request and a sent link request occurs, a lower-level event is escalated to the operating system which is enabled to respond to continue the auto-negotiation process.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and associated methods for endpoint enabled networking devices are provided. An example endpoint enabled networking device includes one or more application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and a data processing unit (DPU) operably coupled with the one or more ASICs. The DPU is to generate control or data traffic associated with operation of the one or more ASICs. The endpoint-generated control or data traffic is generated local to the endpoint enabled networking device by the DPU on its own behalf. The endpoint-generated control or data traffic may be associated with example advanced telemetry operations and/or encryption operations.

    Abstract: A communication apparatus includes input circuitry, an encapsulator, transmission circuitry and flow control circuitry. The input circuitry is to receive packets from a data source in accordance with a first communication protocol that employs credit-based flow control. The encapsulator is to buffer the packets in a memory buffer and to encapsulate the buffered packets in accordance with a second communication protocol. The transmission circuitry is to transmit the encapsulated packets over a communication link in accordance with the second communication protocol. The flow control circuitry is to receive from the encapsulator buffer status indications that are indicative of a fill level of the memory buffer, and to exchange credit messages with the data source, in accordance with the credit-based flow control of the first communication protocol, responsively to the buffer status indications.
