The method includes receiving the packet by a physical network interface, determining a target virtual network interface card (VNIC) using the destination address and a virtual switching table (VST), transferring the packet to a receive ring (RR) associated with the target VNIC, wherein the RR is located on the NEM, determining, by the target VNIC, that the packet is in the RR, determining, by the target VNIC, that the packet is to be processed using an offload engine, transferring the packet to offload memory located on an offload computer, wherein the offload computer is operatively connected to the NEM via the chassis interconnect and wherein the offload engine is executing on the offload computer, processing the packet by the offload engine to obtain a processed packet, and transferring the processed packet to a target computer memory using the chassis interconnect. | 2009-09-03 |
| 20090219937 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BIASING OF NETWORK NODE PACKET PRIORITIZATION BASED ON PACKET CONTENT - A method and apparatus for biasing of network node packet prioritization based on packet content. The method may include marking a packet of data from a data stream of packets. The packet can be marked with a packet type such that subsequent nodes determine the relative priority of the packet with respect to other packets from the same data stream based on the packet type marking. The marked packet can then be transmitted. According to a related corresponding embodiment, a method can include receiving a packet at a node in a network, the node including a plurality of packet queues including a higher priority queue and a lower priority queue. The relative priority of the packet can be determined relative to other packets from the same packet source and intended for the same destination, where the relative priority can be based on the contents of the packet. The relative priority may also be based on a marking of the packet. The packet can be assigned to a higher priority queue based on a higher relative priority of the packet. The assigned packet can then be transmitted. | 2009-09-03 |
| 20090219938 | Systems and Methods For Multi-Layer Interworking - Systems, modules, computer-readable mediums and methods for multi-layer interworking are provided. An identified traffic path is selected from one or more traffic paths. The identified traffic path is selected based on information indicative of traffic path parameter information associated with the identified traffic path relative to traffic path parameter information associated with the other traffic paths. A transport trail is identified from one or more transport trails. Whether the identified transport trail from one or more transport trails is suitable for assignment is determined. The determination is made based on information indicative of the transport trail parameter information associated with the identified transport trail relative to transport trail parameter information associated with the other transport trails. The selected identified traffic path is assigned to the identified transport trail if the identified transport trail is determined to be suitable for assignment. | 2009-09-03 |
