Abstract: A network interface controller (NIC) capable of efficient packet forwarding is provided. The NIC can be equipped with a host interface, a packet generation logic block, and a forwarding logic block. During operation, the packet generation logic block can obtain, via the host interface, a message from the host device and for a remote device. The packet generation logic block may generate a plurality of packets for the remote device from the message. The forwarding logic block can then send a first subset of packets of the plurality of packets based on ordered delivery. If a first condition is met, the forwarding logic block can send a second subset of packets of the plurality of packets based on unordered delivery. Furthermore, if a second condition is met, the forwarding logic block can send a third subset of packets of the plurality of packets based on ordered delivery.

Abstract: A network interface controller (NIC) capable of facilitating efficient data request management is provided. The NIC can be equipped with a command queue, a message chopping unit (MCU), and a traffic management logic block. During operation, the command queue can store a command issued via a host interface. The MCU can then determine a type of the command and a length of a response of the command. If the command is a data request, the traffic management logic block can determine whether the length of the response is within a threshold. If the length exceeds the threshold, the traffic management logic block can pace the command such that the response is within the threshold.

Abstract: Data-driven intelligent networking systems and methods are provided. The system can accommodate dynamic traffic with fast, effective per-flow credit-based flow control. The system can maintain state information of individual packet flows, which can be set up or released dynamically based on injected data. Each flow can be provided with a flow-specific input queue upon arriving at a switch. Packets of a respective flow can be acknowledged after reaching the egress point of the network, and the acknowledgement packets can be sent back to the ingress point of the flow along the same data path. As a result, each switch can obtain state information of each flow and perform flow control on a per-flow basis.

Abstract: A switch architecture for a data-driven intelligent networking system is provided. The system can accommodate dynamic traffic with fast, effective congestion control. The system can maintain state information of individual packet flows, which can be set up or released dynamically based on injected data.

Packets of a respective flow are acknowledged after reaching the egress point of the network, and the acknowledgement packets are sent back to the ingress point of the flow along the same data path.

Abstract: A network interface controller (NIC) capable of efficient load balancing among the hardware engines is provided. The NIC can be equipped with a plurality of ordering control units (OCUs), a queue, a selection logic block, and an allocation logic block. The selection logic block can determine, from the plurality of OCUs, an OCU for a command from the queue, which can store one or more commands. The allocation logic block can then determine a selection setting for the OCU, select an egress queue for the command based on the selection setting, and send the command to the egress queue.

Abstract: A network interface controller (NIC) capable of facilitating fine-grain flow control (FGFC) is provided. The NIC can be equipped with a network interface, an FGFC logic block, and a traffic management logic block. During operation, the network interface can determine that a control frame from a switch is associated with FGFC. The network interface can then identify a data flow indicated in the control frame for applying the FGFC. The FGFC logic block can insert information from the control frame into an entry of a data structure stored in the NIC. The traffic management logic block can identify the entry in the data structure based on one or more fields of a packet belonging to the flow. Subsequently, the traffic management logic block can determine whether the packet is allowed to be forwarded based on the information in the entry.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided to facilitate network egress fairness between applications. At an egress port of a network, an arbitrator can provide fairness-based traffic shaping to data associated with applications. The desired fairness-based traffic shaping can be provided based on bandwidth, traffic classes, or other parameters. Consequently, the egress link’s bandwidth can be allocated with fairness among the applications.
