Abstract: A network element includes multiple ports and packet processing circuitry. The ports are configured for exchanging packets with a communication network. The packet processing circuitry is configured to forward first packets over a forward path from a source node to a destination node, to forward second packets over a reverse path, which is opposite in direction to the forward path, from the destination node to the source node, and to mark one or more of the second packets that are forwarded over the reverse path, with an indication that notifies the source node that congestion is present on the forward path.

Abstract: A method in a network element that includes multiple interfaces for connecting to a communication network includes receiving from the communication network via an ingress interface a flow including a sequence of packets, and routing the packets to a destination of the flow via a first egress interface. A permission indication for re-routing the flow is received in the ingress interface. In response to receiving the permission indication, subsequent packets of the flow are re-routed via a second egress interface that is different from the first egress interface. Further re-routing of the flow is refrained from, until receiving another permission indication.

Abstract: Communication apparatus includes a switch, which includes switching logic, multiple ports for connection to a network, and a management port, and which is configured to assign both a first link-layer address and a second link-layer address to the management port. A host processor includes a memory and a central processing unit (CPU), which is configured to run software implementing a management agent for managing functions of the switch. A network interface controller (NIC) is connected to the management port and is configured to convey incoming management packets, which are directed by the switch to the first link-layer address, to the CPU for processing by the management agent, and to write directly to the memory data contained in incoming remote direct memory access (RDMA) packets, which are directed by the switch to the second link-layer address.
