Abstract: A network switch includes multiple data crossbars and multiple header planes for controlling the data crossbars. In an example implementation, a device includes: a plurality of header planes, each of the header planes including an input queue, an output queue, a request crossbar connected to the input queue and the output queue, and a grant crossbar connected to the input queue and the output queue; a receiver; and a header plane selector. The header plane selector is configured to: receive a transfer request for a packet from the receiver; select a header plane of the header planes based on a header of the packet; and queue the transfer request at the input queue of the header plane.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided to facilitate network egress fairness between applications. At an egress port of a network, an arbitrator can provide fairness-based traffic shaping to data associated with applications. The desired fairness-based traffic shaping can be provided based on bandwidth, traffic classes, or other parameters. Consequently, the egress link's bandwidth can be allocated with fairness among the applications.

Abstract: The efficient storage of transformation information in a switch is provided. A respective port of the switch can include a memory device capable of storing transformation information. During operation, the switch can apply a selection mechanism to the transformation information learned at the switch for identifying a target port. The switch can then store the information in the memory device of the target port. Upon receiving a packet, the ingress port can apply the selection mechanism to the header information of the packet for determining a location of a first piece of transformation information associated with the packet. The ingress port can obtain the first piece of transformation information by looking up the header information in the location and storing it in a local memory device. The ingress port can then transform the packet based on the first piece of transformation information for determining an egress port for the packet.

Abstract: A data-driven intelligent networking system that can facilitate global fairness is provided. The system can maintain state information of individual packet flows, which can be set up or released dynamically based on injected data. Each flow can be provided with a flow-specific input queue upon arriving at a switch. Packets of a respective flow are acknowledged after reaching the egress point of the network, and the acknowledgement packets are sent back to the ingress point of the flow along the same data path. As a result, each switch can obtain state information of each flow and enforce global fairness on a per-flow basis.

Abstract: A network interface controller (NIC) capable of facilitating fine-grain flow control (FGFC) is provided. The NIC can be equipped with a network interface, an FGFC logic block, and a traffic management logic block. During operation, the network interface can determine that a control frame from a switch is associated with FGFC. The network interface can then identify a data flow indicated in the control frame for applying the FGFC. The FGFC logic block can insert information from the control frame into an entry of a data structure stored in the NIC. The traffic management logic block can identify the entry in the data structure based on one or more fields of a packet belonging to the flow. Subsequently, the traffic management logic block can determine whether the packet is allowed to be forwarded based on the information in the entry.

Abstract: A network interface controller (NIC) capable of efficiently utilizing an output buffer is provided. The NIC can be equipped with an output buffer, a host interface, an injector logic block, and an allocation logic block. The output buffer can include a plurality of cells, each of which can be a unit of storage in the output buffer. If the host interface receives a command from a host device, the injector logic block can generate a packet based on the command. The allocation logic block can then determine whether the packet is a multi-cell packet. If the packet is a multi-cell packet, the allocation logic block can determine a virtual index for the packet. The allocation logic block can then store, in an entry in a data structure, the virtual index, and a set of physical indices of cells storing the packet.

Abstract: A switch architecture for a data-driven intelligent networking system is provided. The system can accommodate dynamic traffic with fast, effective congestion control. The system can maintain state information of individual packet flows, which can be set up or released dynamically based on injected data. Each flow can be provided with a flow-specific input queue upon arriving at a switch. Packets of a respective flow are acknowledged after reaching the egress point of the network, and the acknowledgement packets are sent back to the ingress point of the flow along the same data path. As a result, each switch can obtain state information of each flow and perform flow control on a per-flow basis.

Abstract: Data-driven intelligent networking systems and methods are provided. The system can accommodate dynamic traffic with fast, effective per-flow credit-based flow control. The system can maintain state information of individual packet flows, which can be set up or released dynamically based on injected data. Each flow can be provided with a flow-specific input queue upon arriving at a switch. Packets of a respective flow can be acknowledged after reaching the egress point of the network, and the acknowledgement packets can be sent back to the ingress point of the flow along the same data path. As a result, each switch can obtain state information of each flow and perform flow control on a per-flow basis.
