摘要:
Latency requirements for Ethernet link partners comprising PHY devices and memory buffers, may be determined for packets pending transmission. Transmission may be interrupted for a first packet having greater latency than a second packet, and the second packet may be transmitted. The second packet may be interrupted for transmission of a third or more packets. Packets are inspected for marks and/or for OSI layer 2 or higher OSI layer information to determine the latency requirements prior to completion of transmission of the first packet. The second packet is transmitted after a first portion of the first packet and/or prior to a second portion. Delimiters are inserted among the first and/or second packets for interrupting transmission. A PHY layer, MAC layer and/or higher OSI layer of the second link partner may receive, buffer and/or parse the packets and/or packet portions and/or may reconstruct the first packet and/or the second packet.

Communication devices may determine routes for packets based on packet marking, routing parameters and/or costs associated with routes. A route may be selected and the packets may be communicated via the selected route. The parameters may comprise service class, real time compression, packet preemption, quality measurements, tier bypass and/or power usage information. The costs may comprise capacity, efficiency and/or performance information for power usage, bandwidth, memory and/or processing. The marking may comprise traffic type, user device capabilities, service class, quality measurements, latency requirements and/or power usage information. Endpoint devices, software applications and/or service providers may insert the marking into packets. Routes may be determined and/or selected based on shortest path bridging, audio video bridging, the marking, the routing parameters and/or the costs. Parameters and/or costs may be received and/or discovered from communication devices. Packets and/or the marking may be parsed and/or inspected. Costs may be based on routing parameters.
摘要:
Link partners coupled via an Ethernet link comprise memory buffers and/or PHY devices and the memory buffers may be operable to buffer packets that are pending delivery via the PHY devices. Latency requirements may be determined by inspecting OSI layer 2 or higher OSI layer information. Markings within packets may be inspected for latency requirements. An order of communicating buffered packets may be determined based on latency requirements. Corresponding packet headers may be ordered based on the latency requirements. Packet delivery may be scheduled based on the latency requirements. A specified time and/or a specified quantity of buffered data, which may be statically or dynamically programmable and/or configurable, may trigger determination of latency requirements. Packets may be delivered after an indication that prior packets have been delivered. Latency requirements may depend on a device that may generate and/or render the packets.

Aspects of a method and system for predictive leasing of network services and applications based on a usage pattern may comprise a management entity that coordinates operation of one or more endpoint devices. A user profile associated with the one or more endpoint devices may be received by the management entity, wherein the management entity may utilize the user profile associated with the one or more endpoint devices and a usage pattern associated with the one or more endpoint devices to determine leasing information for the one or more endpoint devices. The management entity may be operable to communicate the determined leasing information to the one or more endpoint devices. The leasing information may comprise leasing services and/or applications to the one or more endpoint devices.

Aspects of a method and system for traffic management via virtual machine migration include detecting an abnormal traffic pattern in traffic communicated by a first virtual machine that utilizes a first set of network resources. Responsive to the detection of the abnormal pattern, a second virtual machine that utilizes a second set of network resources may be initialized. The second virtual machine may take over functions performed by the first virtual machine and initialization of the second virtual machine is based on an analysis of the traffic. The second virtual machine may be initialized utilizing stored virtual machine state information in instances that the abnormal traffic is a result of a malicious attack. The second virtual machine may be initialized utilizing current virtual machine state information in instances that the abnormal traffic is not a result of a malicious attack.

Aspects of a method and system for determining and controlling user experience in a network may comprise a management entity that coordinates operation of one or more endpoint devices. One or more parameters associated with a content type may be received from the one or more endpoint devices by the management entity. The management entity may utilize the received one or more parameters associated with the content type to determine configuration information for the one or more endpoint devices. The content type may specify a type of media content that is handled by the one or more endpoint devices.

In various embodiments of a method and system for utilizing native Ethernet as a virtual memory interconnect, a first networking device may be operable to transcode a memory read command and/or a memory write command to memory access information and encapsulate the memory access information within in one or more fields of an Ethernet frame. The memory access information may be communicated over an Ethernet link to a second networking device where it may be utilized to access memory that is associated with the memory read command and/or the memory write command. For example, the memory access information may indicate an address of the memory to be accessed, whether a read operation and/or a write operation is to be performed, whether the frame comprises data to be written to the memory, and/or whether a locally administered address space is utilized.

The one or more endpoint devices may be operable to pay for the received configuration information.
摘要:
Network Interface Controller (NIC) logic may receive a packet comprising a routing parameter indicating a service or cost to be utilized in processing the packet. The NIC logic may determine a selected virtual machine (VM) running on a network device to process the packet according to the routing parameter. The NIC logic may communicate the packet across a network after the packet has been processed by the selected virtual VM. Or, the NIC logic may initialize a VM in the network device to process the packet according to the routing parameter. The NIC logic may receive multiple packets and determine a second selected VM or initialize a second VM to process the multiple packets according to the respective routing parameters of the multiple packets. The routing parameters may indicate device capabilities, service class, quality measurements, latency, power usage or any combination thereof.
