Abstract: Computing apparatus includes a host computer, including at least first and second host bus interfaces. A network interface controller (NIC) includes a network port, for connection to a packet communication network, and first and second NIC bus interfaces, which communicate via first and second peripheral component buses with the first and second host bus interfaces, respectively. Packet processing logic, in response to packets received through the network port, writes data to the host memory concurrently via both the first and second NIC bus interfaces in a sequence of direct memory access (DMA) transactions, and after writing the data in any given DMA transaction, writes a completion report to the host memory with respect to the given DMA transaction while verifying that the completion report will be available to the CPU only after all the data in the given DMA transaction have been written to the host memory.

Abstract: A network device includes a network interface, a host interface and processing circuitry. The network interface is configured to connect to a communication network. The host interface is configured to connect to a host including a host processor running a client process. The processing circuitry is configured to receive packets originating from a peer process, to identify, in at least some of the received packets, application level information that is exchanged between the client process and the peer process, and to initiate reporting of one or more of the received packets to the client process, based on the application level information.

Abstract: A method for data transfer includes transmitting a sequence of data packets from a first computer over a network to a second computer in a single RDMA data transfer transaction. Upon receipt of a second packet in the sequence without previously having received the first packet, the second computer sends a NAK packet over the network to the first computer, indicating that the first packet was not received. A retransmission mode is selected responsively to the type of the transaction, such that when the transaction is of a first type, the first packet is retransmitted from the first computer to the second computer in response to the NAK packet without retransmitting the second packet, and when the transaction is of a second type, both the first and second packets are retransmitted from the first computer to the second computer in response to the NAK packet.

Abstract: One embodiment includes a network device, including hardware parsers to receive data of a header section of a packet, the header section including respective headers, parser configuration registers to store a default parsing configuration data set, wherein at least one of the hardware parsers is configured to parse at least one of the headers responsively to the default parsing configuration data set, yielding first parsed data, a packet processing engine to select a selected parsing configuration data set from a selection of parsing configuration data sets responsively to the first parsed data, cause loading of the selected parsing configuration data set into the parser configuration registers, and wherein ones of the hardware parsers are configured to parse respective ones of the headers responsively to the selected parsing configuration data set, yielding second parsed data, and process the packet responsively to the second parsed data.

Abstract: A system includes a host processor, which has a host memory and is coupled to store data in a non-volatile memory in accordance with a storage protocol. A network interface controller (NIC) receives data packets conveyed over a packet communication network from peer computers containing, in payloads of the data packets, data records that encode data in accordance with the storage protocol for storage in the non-volatile memory. The NIC processes the data records in the data packets that are received in order in each flow from a peer computer and extracts and writes the data to the host memory, and when a data packet arrives out of order, writes the data packet to the host memory without extracting the data and processes the data packets in the flow so as to recover context information for use in processing the data records in subsequent data packets in the flow.

Abstract: A network interface device includes a host interface for connection to a host processor and a network interface, which is configured to transmit and receive data packets over a network, and which comprises multiple distinct physical ports configured for connection to the network. Processing circuitry is configured to receive, via one of the physical ports, a data packet from the network and to decide, responsively to a destination identifier in the packet, whether to deliver a payload of the data packet to the host processor via the host interface or to forward the data packet to the network via another one of the physical ports.

Abstract: Packet flows received in a data network are assigned to respective entries of a database. During an accumulation interval byte counts of the assigned packet flows are accumulated in the respective database entries. The packet flows are classified as elephant flows when differences between the byte counts and a reference byte count exceed a threshold and are reported after expiration of the accumulation interval.

Abstract: A method for processing data includes receiving in a peripheral device, which is connected by a bus to a host processor having host resources, a notification of a sleep state of at least one of the host resources. While the at least one of the host resources is in the sleep state, when the peripheral device receives data from a data source for delivery to the host processor, the peripheral device sends a message to the data source, which causes the data source to defer conveying further data to the peripheral device until the at least one of the host resources has awakened from the sleep state.

Abstract: A method for communication includes receiving multiple work requests from a process running on a computer to transmit respective messages over a network. A single work item corresponding to the multiple work requests is submitted to a network interface controller (NIC) connected to the computer. In response to the single work item, multiple data packets carrying the respective messages are transmitted from the NIC to the network.
