摘要:
A network adapter comprises a controller to change to a first mode from a second mode based on a number of transmit packets, sizes of received packets, and intervals between arrivals of the received packets. In one embodiment, the network controller further comprises a memory to buffer received packets, where the received packets are buffered for a longer period in the first mode than in the second mode.

Includes a method that determines utilization of a link and determines a weight for the link based on an energy metric for the determined utilization. The method also includes transmitting the determined weight to at least one node adjacent in the network to the network forwarding device, and determining forwarding based on the transmitted weight.

An apparatus and methods are disclosed that enable load-balancing of routes in ad-hoc wireless networks. In accordance with the illustrative embodiment, when a candidate intermediate node receives a routing-protocol message, the node waits before it transmits a message in response to the received message, where the amount of time that the node waits is based on the value of a load metric at the node and is independent of any other nodes in the network. As a result, a node that has a larger load will wait longer to transmit its routing-protocol message, and consequently, it is less likely that this node will be selected for inclusion in the new route. The techniques of the illustrative embodiment are applicable to both proactive and on-demand routing protocols, and are also applicable to other kinds of networks.

Technologies for managing lookup tables are described. The lookup tables may be used for a two-level lookup scheme for packet processing. When the tables need to be updated with a new key for packet processing, information about the new key may be added to a first-level lookup table and a second-level lookup table. The first-level lookup table may be used to identify a handling node for an obtained packet, and the handling node may perform a second-level table lookup to obtain information for further packet processing. The first lookup table may be replicated on all the nodes in a cluster, and the second-level lookup table may be unique to each node in the cluster. Other embodiments are described herein and claimed.

Technologies for managing network flow lookups of a network device include a network controller and a target device, each communicatively coupled to the network device. The network device includes a cache for a processor of the network device and a main memory. The network device additionally includes a multi-level hash table having a first-level hash table stored in the cache of the network device and a second-level hash table stored in the main memory of the network device. The network device is configured to determine whether to store a network flow hash corresponding to a network flow indicating the target device in the first-level or second-level hash table based on a priority of the network flow provided to the network device by the network controller.

Devices and methods for optimizing semi-active workloads are described herein. A network interface device may be configured to offload data packet acknowledgment responsibilities of a host platform by transmitting, to the sender of the packets, acknowledgements of packets received throughout a time duration. Upon completion of the time duration, the network interface device may trigger the host platform to perform batch processing of the data packets received during the time duration.

Systems and techniques for reduced host sleep interruption are described herein. A first packet received via a receive chain may be placed into a buffer. The first packet may be of a first preliminary type. The first packet may be processed from the buffer without communication with the host machine. The first packet may also be of a first secondary type. Processing the first packet may include an operation chosen from the group of dropping the packet and responding to the packet. A second packet received via the receive chain may be placed into the buffer. The second packet may be of a first preliminary type and a second secondary type. The second packet may be communicated from the buffer to the machine. A third packet received via the receive chain may be communicated to the machine. The third packet may be of a second preliminary type.

The present disclosure provides techniques for cache management. A data block may be received from an IO interface. After receiving the data block, the occupancy level of a cache memory may be determined. The data block may be directed to a main memory if the occupancy level exceeds a threshold. The data block may be directed to a cache memory if the occupancy level is below a threshold.

A system and method for maintaining connectivity between a host system running an Always-On-Always-Connected (AOAC) application and an associated remote application server includes determining a timing interval Ti for sending keep-alive messages. The timing interval Ti may be determined by selecting a value for a timeout (Ti) to a value between a maximum timeout (Tmax) and a minimum timeout (Tmin), transmitting a keep-alive message, at an interval based on Ti, across a network connection between a client platform running an Always-On-Always-Connected (AOAC) application and a remote application server associated with the AOAC application, checking a status of the network connection, increasing the value for Tmin if the network connection is still active and decreasing the value for Tmax if the network connection has been dropped.
