Techniques to use descriptors for packet transmit scheduling include grouping a plurality of data descriptors associated with blocks of data with a single descriptor. The single descriptor to include information related to the plurality of data descriptors. The single descriptor to be used to schedule transmission of the blocks of data from a computing platform.

Techniques to use descriptors for packet transmit scheduling

Technologies for performing dynamic configurations to a transmit scheduler of a network device with minimal downtime are disclosed. The transmit scheduler includes a topology of scheduling nodes. The transmit scheduler identifies, from a number of configuration operations to be executed on one or more of the scheduling nodes, one or more first configuration operations to be executed while the scheduling nodes are active, one or more second configuration operations to be executed while the scheduling nodes are inactive, and one or more third configuration operations to be executed via a cache. The first operations are executed as part of a background process. The second operations are executed while the scheduling nodes are inactive. The third operations are executed via the cache.

Technologies for transmit scheduler dynamic configurations

Apparatuses and methods for managing jitter resulting from processing through a network interface pipeline are disclosed. In embodiments, a network traffic scheduler annotates packets to be transmitted over a bandwidth-limited network connection with time relationship information to ensure downstream bandwidth limitations are not violated. Following processing through a network interface pipeline, a jitter shaper inspects the annotated time relationship information and pipeline-imposed delays and, by imposing a variable delay, reestablishes bandwidth-complaint time relationships based upon the annotated time relationship information and configured tolerances.

Shaping of post-scheduling network pipeline jitter

Techniques to schedule transmission of a packet from a computing platform include calculating adjustments to portions of the packet to cause corrections to at least one portion of the packet. An adjustment to a scheduled transmission of the packet is made based on the corrections.
