20100008223 | Adaptive Fast Retransmit Threshold to Make TCP Robust to Non-Congestion Events - Methods, systems, and media are disclosed for adjusting a fast re-transmit threshold (FRT) value for transmitting data streams over a computer system. One embodiment includes receiving, by a sender, a current fast re-transmit threshold value for a packet from a receiver. Further, the method includes decreasing the size of the congestion window of the sender, and re-transmitting the packet to the receiver in network communication with the sender. Further still, the method includes counting, by the sender, a number of dupacks after re-transmitting the packet until arrival, at the sender, of an acknowledgement (ACK) for the packet. Yet further, the method includes determining, based on the size of the congestion window and the counting, a value of the FRT value. If the sender receives the ACK for the packet in less than one round trip time, then this may be a re-ordering problem for re-setting the FRT value. | 01-14-2010 |
20100020818 | SHARING BUFFER SPACE IN LINK AGGREGATION CONFIGURATIONS - In link aggregation configurations, a data packet may be copied into a buffer space of a first NIC. Load balancing techniques may determine that the packet should be transmitted by a second NIC. The packet exists in memory that the second NIC cannot access. The data packet is copied into memory accessible to the second NIC or the memory location of the packet is registered with the NIC. A copy penalty is incurred if a packet is copied from a first buffer space to a second buffer space. A registration penalty is incurred if the location within the first buffer space is registered with the second NIC. Functionality can be implemented within a link aggregation configuration to register buffer space shared among interconnected NICs. Sharing of buffer space between interconnected NICs allows any one of the NICs to access data within the shared buffer space without incurring a penalty. | 01-28-2010 |

Responsive to a determination that the current bucket is free, the software component determines whether sufficient buffers are obtained based on the parameter. Upon determining there are sufficient buffers obtained, the software component provides the current bucket and a second bucket as a single buffer list to the I/O device driver. | 06-17-2010 |
