摘要： Methods and apparatus are disclosed for accumulating and distributing flow control information via update messages and piggybacked flow control information in other messages. One implementation operates using at least two techniques. Using a first technique, for every packet entering the switching system from a line card, the switching system conveys flow control information (typically congestion or both congestion and no-congestion indications) for the packet's destination to the line card. Using a second technique, the switching system will periodically convey congestion and no-congestion indications for all destinations to the line cards. In one implementation, when the first technique is used to provide only congestion indications, the periodic distribution of flow control information using the second technique provides non-congested indications which allows the line cards and their sources to resume or begin sending to the non-congested destinations.

摘要： In one implementation, a first set of packet switch sequence numbers is used for end-to-end resequencing of packets within a packet switch, and a second set of interconnection network sequence number is used in the resequencing of packets within an interconnection network of the packet switch. A packet switch sequence number is maintained at each input interface of the packet switch for each output interface, while each output interface maintains a packet switch sequence number for each input interface. A corresponding sequence number is added to packets sent between corresponding input-output interface pairs. Similarly, an interconnection network sequence number is maintained at each input port of an interconnection network for each output port, while each output port maintains an interconnection network sequence number for each input port. A corresponding sequence number is added to packets sent between corresponding input-output port pairs.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for forwarding packets in a multistage interconnection network are provided which timestamp packets using a substantially system-wide timing reference and a merge sorting variant to restore packets to the proper order, using the timestamp information carried in the packets. One implementation determines when packets passing along different paths in the network can be safely forwarded, even when no packets have recently been received on some of the paths, by forwarding status messages along otherwise idle paths. The status messages provide information that can be used by downstream components to allow them to determine when packets passing over other paths can safely be forwarded. One implementation simultaneously resequences packets being delivered to all n outputs of the multistage interconnection network. The resequencing operations are distributed among a plurality of switching elements making up the interconnection network.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are disclosed for distributing fault indications and maintaining and using a data structure indicating faults to route traffic in a packet switching system. In one embodiment, a packet switching system detects faults and propagates indications of these faults to the input interfaces of a packet switch, so the packet switch can adapt the selection of a route over which to send a particular packet. Faults are identified by various components of the packet switching system and relayed to one or more switching components to generate a broadcast packet destined for all input ports (i.e., to each I/O interface in a packet switch having folded input and output interfaces). Other embodiments, generate one or more multicast or unicast packets. The I/O interface maintains one or more data structures indicating the state of various portions of the packet switching system. In one embodiment, an output availability table is maintained indicating over which path a particular destination may be reached, as well as a link availability vector indicating which output likes of the input interface may be currently used. Using these as masks against possible routes in a fully functional system, the packet switching component (e.g., I/O interface) can identify which routes are currently available for reaching the destination of the received packet. These routes can then be selected between using one of numerous deterministic and non-deterministic methods.
摘要翻译：公开了用于分发故障指示和维护和使用指示故障的数据结构以在分组交换系统中路由业务的方法和装置。在一个实施例中，分组交换系统检测故障并将这些故障的指示传播到分组交换机的输入接口，因此分组交换机可以适应对其发送特定分组的路由的选择。故障由分组交换系统的各种组件识别，并被中继到一个或多个交换组件以产生目的地为所有输入端口（即，具有折叠的输入和输出接口的分组交换机中的每个I / O接口）的广播分组。其他实施例，生成一个或多个多播或单播分组。 I / O接口保持指示分组交换系统的各个部分的状态的一个或多个数据结构。在一个实施例中，保持输出可用性表，指示可以到达特定目的地的哪个路径，以及指示可能当前使用输入接口的哪个输出像的链路可用性向量。使用这些作为针对全功能系统中的可能路由的掩码，分组交换组件（例如，I / O接口）可以识别当前可用于到达所接收分组的目的地的哪些路由。然后可以使用许多确定性和非确定性方法之一来选择这些路线。

摘要： According to the invention, methods and apparatus are disclosed for selecting one of multiple of paths between two points over which to route a data item based on the destination of the data item and the traffic between the two points over the multiple paths. A switching system can use the disclosed methods and apparatus to more efficiently distribute data packets among switching fabrics than currently accomplished by known techniques. In one implementation, distribution cycles have been established for sending data between two points, where each path between the endpoints is used a predetermined number of times (e.g., one, two) within each cycle. To economize the amount of traffic data collected, the multiple paths can be partitioned into subsets for which traffic data is maintained only for the current subset. Additionally, the distribution of traffic between the two points can be further partitioned into traffic of a particular type or priority between the two points.

摘要： A network processor has numerous novel features including a multi-threaded processor array, a multi-pass processing model, and Global Packet Memory (GPM) with hardware managed packet storage. These unique features allow the network processor to perform high-touch packet processing at high data rates. The packet processor can also be coded using a stack-based high-level programming language, such as C or C++. This allows quicker and higher quality porting of software features into the network processor.Processor performance also does not severely drop off when additional processing features are added. For example, packets can be more intelligently processed by assigning processing elements to different bounded duration arrival processing tasks and variable duration main processing tasks. A recirculation path moves packets between the different arrival and main processing tasks. Other novel hardware features include a hardware architecture that efficiently intermixes co-processor operations with multi-threaded processing operations and improved cache affinity.

摘要： Packets and packets fragments possibly received out of sequence are distributed into an expandable set of queues. For each particular packet or fragment, a queue within a set of queues is identified that does not contain a packet or packet fragment that is subsequent to the particular packet or fragment, and the particular packet or fragment is enqueued therein. If there is not such a queue available, a new queue is added to the set of queues. A data structure is typically updated for packet fragments to identify when all fragments have been received and the order of queues containing the packet fragments in order of their position within the reassembled packet. This ordered list of the queues is communicated to a reassembly mechanism to retrieve the packet fragments and to reassemble the packet. Resequencing of packets is similarly performed, and may be part of the reassembly process. The list of queues is not always used by the reassembly/resequencing mechanism as the enqueued fragments/packets typically contain sequence numbers.

摘要： A method and system to detect an evasion attack are provided. The system may include a repository to store signature fragments that together constitute an attack signature, an interceptor to intercept a data packet associated with a network connection, a string-matching module to determine whether the payload of the data packet includes any of the stored signature fragments thereby identifying a match, a responder to perform a prevention action in response to the match, and a detector to detect that a size of the data packet is less than a size threshold. The system may further include a state machine to commence maintaining a state for the network connection in response to the detector determining that the size of the data packet is less than the size threshold.

摘要： Sequences of items may be maintained using ordered locks. These items may correspond to anything, but using ordered locks to maintain sequences of packets may be particularly useful. One implementation uses a locking request, acceptance, and release protocol. One implementation associates instructions with locking requests such that when a lock is acquired, the locking mechanism executes or causes to be executed the associated instructions as an acceptance request of the lock is implied by the association of instructions (or may be explicitly requested). In some applications, the ordering of the entire sequence of packets is not required to be preserved, but rather only among certain sub-sequences of the entire sequence of items, which can be accomplished by converting an initial root ordered lock (maintaining the sequence of the entire stream of items) to various other locks (each maintaining a sequence of different sub-streams of items).

摘要： Sequences of items may be maintained using ordered locks. These items may correspond to anything, but using ordered locks to maintain sequences of packets, especially for maintaining requisite packet orderings when distributing packets to be processed to different packet processing engines, may be particularly useful. For example, in response to a particular packet processing engine completing processing of a particular packet, a gather instruction is attached to the particular identifier of a particular ordered lock associated with the particular packet. If no longer needed for further processing, the packet processing engine is immediately released to be able to process another packet or perform another function. The gather instruction is typically performed in response to the particular ordered lock being acquired by the particular identifier, with the gather instruction causing the processed particular packet to be sent.
