Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to eliminate redundant data packets. In at least one embodiment, a communication apparatus generates redundant data packets, and sends them in multiple packet streams. In at least one embodiment, a communication apparatus eliminates redundant data packets from received packet streams.

Communication apparatus generating and eliminating redundant data packets

A method includes receiving a network packet into a hardware pipeline of a network device; parsing and retrieving information of the network packet; determining, by the hardware pipeline, a packet-processing action to be performed by matching the information to a data structure of a set of flow data structures; sending, by the hardware pipeline, an action request to a programmable core, the action request being populated with data to trigger the programmable core to execute a hardware thread to perform a job, which is associated with the packet-processing action and that generates contextual data; retrieving the contextual data updated by the programmable core; and integrating the contextual data into performing the packet-processing action.

Programmable core integrated with hardware pipeline of network interface device

In one embodiments, data communication system include a communication apparatus, which is configured to receive data from different user equipment devices a schedule of time periods, and packetize the data from respective ones of the user equipment devices for respective ones of the time periods into packets, a memory including a plurality of buffers, and a network interface controller configured to receive the packets from the communication apparatus, and scatter respective portions of the data belonging to respective groups of successive ones of the time periods to the buffers, responsively to a static set of steering rules, and timing information of respective ones of the packets, and wherein each respective portion of the data is scattered to the buffers a same scatter pattern.
