    摘要: A first fabric abstraction layer couples to a data link layer and a physical layer of a network fabric device. The network fabric device is connected to other network elements within a network via at least one network connection, such as a fiber optic connection. A second fabric abstraction layer couples to the data link layer and an application of the network device. The second fabric abstraction layer provides an application programming interface (API) to the application. The API allows the application to generate configuration instructions for configuring the at least one network connection. Upon receiving the configuration instructions generated by the application, the second abstraction layer sends the configuration instructions to the first abstraction layer via the data link layer. The first abstraction layer then configures the at least one network connection to transmit data according to the configuration instructions.

    摘要: If the sequence of a traffic of a first communication link from a communication apparatus to another communication apparatus includes a traffic of a second communication link from that another communication apparatus to a communication apparatus, latency is reduced, thereby saving processing time.
    If, after data is transmitted from a communication apparatus to another communication apparatus by the upper layer, a data receive response signal is required from that another communication apparatus to the communication apparatus, a predetermined frame including transmission grant information for that another communication apparatus to transmit the receive response signal and data is generated in the communication apparatus. The communication apparatus transmits this generated frame to that another communication apparatus. That is, data and transmission grant information are transmitted from the communication apparatus to that another communication apparatus as a predetermined frame.

    摘要: Datalink frames or networking packets contain protocol information in the header and optionally in the trailer of a frame or a packet. We are proposing a method in which part of or all of the protocol information corresponding to a frame or a packet is transmitted separately in another datalink frame. The “Separately Transmitted Protocol Information” is referred to as STPI. The STPI contains enough protocol information to identify the next hop node or port. STPI can be used avoid network congestion and improve link efficiency. Preferably, there will be one datalink frame or network packet corresponding to each STPI, containing the data and the rest of the protocol information and this frame/packet is referred to as DFoNP. The creation of STPI and DFoNP is done by the originator of the frame or packet such as an operating system.
