Abstract: In certain exemplary embodiments, a switching device is provided, including an input interface configured to communicate with a packet source, an output interface configured to communicate with a packet destination, and packet processing circuitry. The packet processing circuitry is configured to receive a plurality of packets from the packet source via the input interface, each of the plurality of packets being associated with a packet descriptor, at least one of the packet descriptors being a transmission time packet descriptor including a desired physical transmission time for the packet associated with the transmission time packet descriptor, to receive an indication of a clock time, and for each packet associated with a transmission time packet descriptor, to physically transmit the packet associated with the transmission time packet descriptor, via the output interface, at a clock time corresponding to the desired physical transmission time. Related apparatus an methods are also provided.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a network device, includes a network interface port configured to receive data symbols from a network node over a packet data network, at least some of the symbols being included in data packets, and controller circuitry including physical layer (PHY) circuitry, which includes receive PHY pipeline circuitry configured to process the received data symbols, and a counter configured to maintain a counter value indicative of a number of the data symbols in the receive PHY pipeline circuitry.

Abstract: A method in a communication network includes defining a root congestion condition for a network switch if the switch creates congestion in the network while switches downstream are congestion free, and a victim congestion condition if the switch creates the congestion as a result of one or more other congested switches downstream. A buffer fill level in a first switch, created by network traffic, is monitored. A binary notification is received from a second switch, which is connected to the first switch. A decision whether the first switch or the second switch is in a root or a victim congestion condition is made, based on both the buffer fill level and the binary notification. A network congestion control procedure is applied based on the decided congestion condition.

Abstract translation: 通信网络中的一种方法包括：如果交换机在网络中产生拥塞，而下游的交换机拥塞不足则定义网络交换机的根拥塞状况;以及如果交换机由于一个或多个其他 下游拥塞交换机。 监视由网络流量创建的第一交换机中的缓冲区填充级别。 从连接到第一开关的第二开关接收二进制通知。 基于缓冲器填充级别和二进制通知，进行第一交换机或第二交换机是否处于根或者拥塞状态的判定。 基于确定的拥塞状况应用网络拥塞控制过程。
