    摘要: A network device includes one or more ports, and action-select circuitry. The ports are to exchange packets over a network. The action-select circuitry is to determine, for a given packet, a first search key based on a first header field of the given packet, and a second search key based on a second header field of the given packet, to compare the first search key to a first group of compare values, to output a multi-element vector responsively to a match between the first search key and a first compare value, to generate a composite search key by concatenating the second search key and the multi-element vector, to compare the composite search key to a second group of compare values, and, responsively to a match between the composite search key and a second compare value, to output an action indicator for applying to the given packet.

    摘要: A device includes ports, a packet processor, and a memory management circuit. The ports communicate packets over a network. The packet processor processes the packets using queues. The memory management circuit maintains a shared buffer in a memory and adaptively allocates memory resources from the shared buffer to the queues, maintains in the memory, in addition to the shared buffer, a shared-reserve memory pool for use by the queues, identifies, among the queues, a queue that requires additional memory resources, the queue having an occupancy that is (i) above a current value of a dynamic threshold, rendering the queue ineligible for additional allocation from the shared buffer, and (ii) no more than a defined margin above the current value of the dynamic threshold, rendering the queue eligible for allocation from the shared-reserve memory pool, and allocates memory resources to the identified queue from the shared-reserve memory pool.

    摘要: Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to establish a redundant communication pathway to a management network. In at least one embodiment, the redundant communication pathway is established by creating a virtual interface using a network device, and using the virtual interface to communicate with the management network via a management port of a second network device, and a connection between a first data port of the network device and a second data port of the second network device.

    摘要: A networking device and system are described, among other things. An illustrative system is disclosed to include a first processor to perform compute tasks associated with an operation; and a second processor to perform control plane tasks associated with the operation. The control plane tasks performed by the second processor relieve the first processor from responsibilities of performing the control plane tasks associated with the operation.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a system includes a network interface controller including a device interface to connect to a processing device and receive a time synchronization marker message from an application running on the processing device, a network interface to send packets over a network, and packet processing circuitry to process the time synchronization marker message for sending via the network interface over the network to a slave clock device, generate a time synchronization follow-up message including a timestamp indicative of when the synchronization marker message egressed the network interface, and process the time synchronization follow-up message for sending via the network interface over the network to the slave clock device.
