ARBITRATION OF MULTIPLE-THOUSANDS OF FLOWS FOR CONVERGENCE ENHANCED ETHERNET

摘要

In one embodiment, a system includes a processor and logic integrated with and/or executable by the processor, the logic being adapted to: receive a plurality of flows, each flow comprising packets of data, assign a service credit to each of the plurality of flows, assign a weight parameter to each of the plurality of flows, select a flow from a head of a first control queue unless the first control queue is empty or there is indication that the first control queue should be avoided, wherein a flow is selected from a head of a second control queue when the first control queue is empty or there is indication that the first control queue should be avoided, provide a number of units of service to the selected flow, and decrease the selected flow's service credit by an amount corresponding to the number of units of service provided thereto.

1. A system, comprising:
a processor and logic integrated with and/or executable by the processor, the logic being adapted to:
receive a plurality of flows, each flow comprising packets of data;assign a service credit to each of the plurality of flows;assign a weight parameter to each of the plurality of flows;select a flow from a head of a first control queue unless the first control queue is empty or there is indication that the first control queue should be avoided, wherein a flow is selected from a head of a second control queue when the first control queue is empty or there is indication that the first control queue should be avoided;provide a number of units of service to the selected flow; anddecrease the selected flow's service credit by an amount corresponding to the number of units of service provided thereto.
