    Abstract: Technologies for bi-directional encryption and decryption for underlay and overlay operations are described. One network device includes multiple ports, a network processing element, a programmable path-selection circuit, and a security IC. The programmable path-selection circuit is configured to operate in a first mode in which first outgoing packets are routed to the security integrated circuit to be encrypted before sending on one of the ports, and first incoming packets, received on one of the ports, are routed to the security integrated circuit to be decrypted. The programmable path-selection circuit is configured to operate in a second mode in which second incoming packets are routed to the security integrated circuit to be encrypted before processing by the network processing element and route second outgoing packets to the security integrated circuit to be decrypted after processing by the network processing element.

    Abstract: A network element includes circuitry and multiple ports. The multiple ports are configured to connect to a communication network. The circuitry is configured to receive via one of the ports a packet that originated from a source node and is destined to a destination node, the packet including a mark that is indicative of a cumulative state derived from at least bandwidth utilization conditions of output ports that were traversed by the packet along a path, from the source node up to the network element, to select a port for forwarding the packet toward the destination node, to update the mark of the packet based at least on a value of the mark in the received packet and on a local bandwidth utilization condition of the selected port, and to transmit the packet having the updated mark to the destination node via the selected port.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for redundant data bus inversion (DBI) sharing are described. A device may identify a group of channels included in a data bus. The device may determine whether the group of channels satisfies a criterion. Based on the determination, the device may allocate an overhead channel to the group of channels for a set of redundancy operations. Based on the determination, the device may allocate the overhead channel to the group of channels for a set of data bus inversion operations. The device may encode data associated with the group of channels based on the allocation of the overhead channel. The overhead channel may be included in the data bus.

    Abstract: A parsing apparatus includes an interface, a first parser, a second parser and a controller. The interface is configured to receive packets belonging to a plurality of predefined packet types. The first parser is configured to identify any of the packet types. The second parser is configured to identify only a partial subset of the packet types. The controller is configured to receive a packet via the interface, to attempt identifying a packet type of the received packet using the second parser, and in response to detecting that identifying the packet type using the second parser fails, to revert to identify the packet type of the received packet using the first parser.

    Abstract: A network device includes circuitry and multiple ports. The circuitry is configured to hold a definition of a normalization function that determines, based on (i) a reference probability of applying a congestion indication operation to packets having a predefined reference packet-size and (ii) a packet-size parameter, a normalized probability of applying the congestion indication operation to packets whose size equals the packet-size parameter. The normalization function depends exponentially on a ratio between the packet-size parameter and the reference packet-size. The circuitry id configured to store packets in a queue, and to schedule transmission of at least some of the queued packets via an output port, to calculate the normalized probability for a given packet, by applying the normalization function to an actual reference probability and an actual size of the given packet, and randomly apply a congestion indication operation to the given packet, in accordance with the normalized probability.
