Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of forwarding data over an IP network. The methods may include receiving a packet from a source host connected to the IP network, identifying the IP address of a destination host designated in the packet, determining the location on the IP network where the destination host designated by the packet is connected, without reference to the MAC address specified in the packet, by using location-identification information stored on the IP network, and forwarding the packet to the location on the IP network where the destination host is connected without reference to the MAC address specified in the packet. Also disclosed herein are related network devices implementing such techniques and operations, as well as IP networks which include such network devices.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a next set of packets in a first flow may be identified. A counter may be incremented, where the counter indicates a first number of initial sets of packets in first flow that have been identified. The identified next set of packets may be prioritized such that the first number of initial sets of packets in the first flow are prioritized and a sequential order of all packets in the first flow is maintained. The identifying, incrementing, and prioritizing may be repeated until no further sets of packets in the first flow remain to be identified or the first number of initial sets of packets is equal to a first predefined number.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and related apparatuses for determining statistics descriptive of packets received at a particular location on a network out of a set of packets transmitted on the network, which include transmitting first and second groups of packets on the network, the packets in the first and second groups labeled with first and second labels, respectively (the packets in the second group not in the first group), incrementing first and second packet counters associated with the particular network location in response to packet(s) in the first and second groups, respectively, being received at the network location until all packets in the first and second groups have drained from the network, and using values read from the first and second packet counters to determine a statistic descriptive of the packets received at the particular network location out of those in the first and second groups transmitted on the network.

Abstract translation: 这里公开的是通过IP网络转发数据的方法。 所述方法可以包括从连接到IP网络的源主机接收分组，识别在分组中指定的目的地主机的IP地址，确定IP分组上指定的目的地主机连接的IP网络上的位置，而不参考 通过使用存储在IP网络上的位置识别信息，将分组转发到目的地主机连接的IP网络上的位置，而不参考分组中指定的MAC地址，来分配给分组中指定的MAC地址。 本文还公开了实现这种技术和操作的相关网络设备以及包括这种网络设备的IP网络。
