Abstract: Two timers are used to improve ingress throughput. Decisions to transfer the ingress packets are made based on when the two timers expire. A first timer is used to time how long a first ingress packet waits before it is transferred. When this first timer expires, the all received ingress packets including the first ingress packet are transferred. A second timer is used to time how long to wait for a new ingress packet to be received. The second timer is reset if a new ingress packet is received before expiration of the second timer. When the second timer expires and no new ingress packet is received during the wait, all received ingress packets including the first ingress packet are transferred.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture for retaining packet order in multiprocessor systems utilizing multiple transmit queues are disclosed herein. Embodiments of the present invention define multiple transmit queues for a given priority level of packets to enable the multiprocessor system to process and queue packets of equal priority in different transmit queues. Queuing packets of equal priority in different transmit queues minimizes processor time spent attempting to acquire queue-specific resources associated with one particular transmit queue. In addition, embodiments of the present invention provide an assignment mechanism to ensure that packets corresponding to a common flow are queued in the same transmit queue in order to eliminate, to the extent possible, out-or-order packets, which many times results in lost packets and a reduction in realized network throughput.

Abstract: A system for improved decryption performance includes a computer in electronic communication with an encrypted network. A controller performs a decryption operation on an encrypted packet received from the network, and the computer asserts an interrupt prior to the system completing transfer of the decrypted packet back to host memory to reduce the additional latency a packet suffers during Secondary Use. An additional interrupt may be asserted after the Secondary Use operation is complete, to ensure that the Secondary Use packet is processed. A method for improving decryption performance similarly includes asserting an interrupt prior to the complete transfer of a decrypted packet from a controller back to host memory during Secondary Use. The method may further include asserting an additional interrupt after the Secondary Use operation is complete, to ensure that the Secondary Use packet is processed.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for retaining packet order in multiprocessor systems utilizing multiple transmit queues while minimizing spinlocks are disclosed herein. Embodiments of the present invention define multiple transmit queues for a given priority level of packets to allow parallel processing and queuing of packets having equal priority in different transmit queues. Queuing packets of equal priority in different transmit queues minimizes processor time spent attempting to acquire queue-specific resources associated with one particular transmit queue. In addition, embodiments of the present invention provide an assignment mechanism to maximize utilization of the multiple transmit queues by queuing packets corresponding to each transmit request in a next available transmit queue defined for a given priority level. Coordination between hardware and software allows the order of the queued packets to be maintained in the transmission process.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for managing tables of security associations (SA) are described. A device driver operating in an environment, for example, NDIS, where a unique handle is selected for each transmit SA and the SPI for each receive SA is selected with a random algorithm, divides transmit SAs from receive SAs in separate tables. An SA lookup table having a whole binary number of entries that is the lowest binary number greater than five times the number of SAs supported by the device driver contains information to match an SA to a data packet, and locate the SA in memory. The lookup table is searched using a bit-wise AND hash function.
