A method for managing network traffic is shown. The method includes establishing a virtual tunnel between a source endpoint and a destination endpoint, the virtual tunnel including a plurality of data flow paths, each of the plurality of data flow streams connecting the source endpoint and the destination endpoint. The method includes providing, via the destination endpoint, a plurality of credits to the source endpoint, the plurality of credits provided via two or more of the plurality of data flow paths. The method includes updating, at the source endpoint, a data transmission sequence based on the received plurality of credits. The method includes providing a plurality of data packets based on the data transmission sequence to the destination endpoint.

Scalable E2E network architecture and components to support low latency and high throughput

A highly parallel programmable packet editing engine with a scalable control infrastructure includes receiving an ingress packet having one or more headers; assigning, by one or more processors, the one or more headers of the ingress packet to a number of zones, wherein each zone is a grouping of adjacent headers that are closely related to one another by information content or processing type; performing, by the one or more processors, offset computations for the one or more headers in a zone concurrently with offset computations of headers assigned to other zones; performing, by the one or more processors, different header operations on the one or more headers concurrently with respective ones of a plurality of editing engines; combining, by the one or more processors, the edited one or more headers at the computed offsets to generate a modified egress packet; and providing, for transmission, the modified egress packet.

Embodiments relate to forwarding of packets in link aggregation environments. A method for forwarding a packet through an extended switch including a first port extender and a second port extender directly or indirectly communicatively coupled to respectively a first interface and a second interface of a controlling bridge includes, associating a first port extender interface of the first port extender with a global namespace or an interface-specific namespace. The method further includes receiving a packet through the first port extender interface, marking the received packet with an indication of the namespace configuration of the first port extender interface, processing the marked packet in the controlling bridge based at least in part upon the indication, and transmitting the processed packet out of the controlling bridge.
