20090086729 | User datagram protocol (UDP) transmit acceleration and pacing - Methods and apparatus relating to User Datagram Protocol (UDP) transmit acceleration and/or pacing are described. In one embodiment, a data movement module (DMM) may segment a UDP packet payload into a plurality of segments. The size of each of the plurality of segments may be less than or equal to a maximum transmission unit (MTU) size in accordance with a user datagram protocol (UDP). Other embodiments are also disclosed. | 04-02-2009 |
20100169507 | Apparatus and method for managing subscription requests for a network interface component - In some embodiments, a processor-based system may include at least one processor, at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, a network interface component, and a management controller. The management controller may be configured to receive information related to a subscription request for a virtual machine, generate configuration information for the network interface component based on the subscription request, and provide the configuration information to the network interface component. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed. | 07-01-2010 |
20100329264 | SCALING EGRESS NETWORK TRAFFIC - In an embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment provides generating one or more packets of data, the one or more packets of data being associated with a connection; and associating the one or more packets with one of a plurality of transmit queues based, at least in part, on the connection associated with the one or more packets. | 12-30-2010 |
20110040911 | DUAL INTERFACE COHERENT AND NON-COHERENT NETWORK INTERFACE CONTROLLER ARCHITECTURE - A dual interface coherent and non-coherent network interface controller architecture is generally presented. In this regard, a network interface controller is introduced including a non-coherent bus interface to communicatively couple with devices of a system through a non-coherent protocol, the non-coherent bus interface to facilitate discovery of the network interface controller by an operating system, a coherent bus interface to communicatively couple with devices of the system through a coherent protocol, and a coherency engine to perform coherent transactions over the coherent interface including to snoop for writes on system memory. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed. | 02-17-2011 |
20120093159 | SCALING EGRESS NETWORK TRAFFIC - In an embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment provides generating one or more packets of data, the one or more packets of data being associated with a connection; and associating the one or more packets with one of a plurality of transmit queues based, at least in part, on the connection associated with the one or more packets. | 04-19-2012 |
20130268619 | SERVER INCLUDING SWITCH CIRCUITRY - An embodiment may include at least one server processor that may control, at least in part, server switch circuitry data and control plane processing. The at least one processor may include at least one cache memory that is capable of being involved in at least one data transfer that involves at least one component of the server. The at least one data transfer may be carried out in a manner that by-passes involvement of server system memory. The switch circuitry may be communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and to at least one node via communication links. The at least one processor may select, at least in part, at least one communication protocol to be used by the links. The switch circuitry may forward, at least in part, via at least one of the links at least one received packet. Many modifications are possible. | 10-10-2013 |
20140040514 | ADAPTIVE INTERRUPT MODERATION - Generally, this disclosure relates to adaptive interrupt moderation. A method may include determining, by a host device, a number of connections between the host device and one or more link partners based, at least in part, on a connection identifier associated with each connection; determining, by the host device, a new interrupt rate based at least in part on a number of connections; updating, by the host device, an interrupt moderation timer with a value related to the new interrupt rate; and configuring the interrupt moderation timer to allow interrupts to occur at the new interrupt rate. | 02-06-2014 |
20150186307 | ADAPTIVE INTERRUPT MODERATION - Generally, this disclosure relates to adaptive interrupt moderation. A method may include determining, by a host device, a number of connections between the host device and one or more link partners based, at least in part, on a connection identifier associated with each connection; determining, by the host device, a new interrupt rate based at least in part on a number of connections; updating, by the host device, an interrupt moderation timer with a value related to the new interrupt rate; and configuring the interrupt moderation timer to allow interrupts to occur at the new interrupt rate. | 07-02-2015 |
