摘要： Systems and techniques to synchronize network configuration for a hardware accelerated network protocol. According to an aspect, a network configuration record is maintained for a hardware-accelerated network-protocol device, a network configuration store is monitored to identify a network configuration change, and the hardware-accelerated network-protocol device is reconfigured, in response to the identified network configuration change, based on the network configuration record and the network configuration change.

摘要： The avoidance of port collisions in a hardware-accelerated network protocol, such as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/Internet Protocol (IP), is disclosed. In one example, a hardware-accelerated host bus adaptor (HBA) offloads protocol processing from a host computer's operating system. However, a port collision occurs if a non-accelerated host TCP/IP stack and a hardware accelerated host bus adapter TCP/IP stack choose the same port for establishing a network connection. In a double-ended TCP/IP acceleration connection, a unique TCP port is bound to the accelerated TCP/IP stack. In a single-ended TCP/IP acceleration connection, either the host TCP/IP stack is prevented from using that port or a non-accelerated connection is associated with an accelerated connection without binding a port.

摘要： A system includes a plurality of computers interconnected by a network including one or more switching nodes. The computers transfer messages over virtual circuits established thereamong. A computer, as a source computer for one or more virtual circuit(s), schedules transmission of messages on a round-robin basis as among the virtual circuits for which it is source computer. Each switching node which forms part of a path for respective virtual circuits also forwards messages for virtual circuits in a round-robin manner, and, a computer, as a destination computer for one or more virtual circuit(s), schedules processing of received messages in a round-robin manner. Round-robin transmission, forwarding and processing at the destination provides a degree of fairness in message transmission as among the virtual circuits established over the network. In addition, messages are transmitted in one or more cells, with the round-robin transmission being on a cell basis, so as to reduce delays which may occur for short messages if a long messages were transmitted in full for one virtual circuit before beginning transmission of a short message for another virtual circuit. For each virtual circuit, the destination computer and each switching node along the path for the virtual circuit can generate a virtual circuit flow control message for transmission to the source computer to temporarily limit transmission over the virtual circuit if the amount of resources being taken up by messages for the virtual circuit exceeds predetermined thresholds, further providing fairness as among the virtual circuits. In addition, each switching node or computer can generate link flow control messages for transmission to neighboring devices in the network to temporarily limit transmission thereto if the amount of resources taken up by all virtual circuits exceeds predetermined thresholds, so as to reduce the likelihood of message loss.

摘要： A computer interface system for communicating between computers along designated circuits is provided. An interface unit is provided in each host computer. Each unit includes a memory map that stores a map of physical addresses that correspond to virtual addresses for each application involved in a communication link. Each transfer of data is designated by a circuit that is established using the ATM protocol. The circuit is recognized by each unit involved in the communication and facilitates direct access of each host computer's main memory with minimum intervention from the operating system. A novel dynamic buffer management system is also provided.
