    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: 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.

    Abstract: A network element includes a transmit-queue for transmitting packets from at least two sources, each source having a predefined priority level, to a headroom buffer in a peer network element. Flow-control circuitry receives from the peer network element signaling that indicates a number of credits for transmitting packets to the peer network element, manages a current number of credits available for transmission from the transmit-queue, responsive to the signaling, selects a threshold priority based on the current number of credits for the transmit-queue; and transmits packets associated with data sources of the transmit-queue that are higher in priority than the threshold priority, and refrain from transmitting other packets associated with the transmit-queue.

    Abstract: A system includes multiple processors to communicate with one another at predefined time slots. A given processor among the processors is to (i) hold a predetermined schedule plan that specifies which of the other processors in the system are accessible to the given processor at which of the time slots, the predetermined schedule plan having been determined before receiving data for transmission from the given processors to the other processors, (ii) queue data that is destined to one or more of the other processors, and (iii) transmit the queued data in accordance with the predetermined schedule plan.

    Abstract: A system including an interconnect device coupled with one or more devices where the first device of the one or more devices is to transmit a control block for synchronization via a physical layer of a link coupled to the high-speed interconnect device, the control block comprising a header portion of bits corresponding to a header indicating the block is a control block and a data portion of bits indicating the control block is associated with time synchronization information. The interconnect device is to receive data, parse the data, determine the data is associated with the control block, determine a delay associated with the physical layer transmitting the control block and transmitting a signal responsive to receiving the control block and determining the delay.
