Abstract:
A system, method, and a computer readable medium for transmitting a packet in a network are provided. An overlay network is a virtual network that transmits a packet between a plurality of controlling bridges and a plurality of port extenders. A port extender connects to multiple servers in the server rack and a controlling bridge transmits packets over a network outside of the servers in the server rack. A mapping between virtual ports of a port extender and a controlling bridge is provided, such that the mapping enables the packet transmission in the overlay network.
Abstract:
A device with dynamically tunable heterogeneous latencies includes an input port configured to receive a packet via a network, and a processing module configured to determine multiple values corresponding to a number of qualifying parameters associated with the packet. The processing module may use the values to generate a selector value and may allocate a latency mode to the packet based on the selector value.
