Abstract
Components, methods, and systems allowing acceleration components to transmit messages are provided. An acceleration component for use among a first plurality of acceleration components, associated with a first top-of-rack (TOR) switch, to transmit messages to other acceleration components in an acceleration plane configurable to provide service acceleration for a service is provided. The acceleration component includes a transport component configured to transmit a first point-to-point message to a second acceleration component, associated with a second TOR switch different form the first TOR switch, and to a third acceleration component, associated with a third TOR switch different from the first TOR switch and the second TOR switch. The transport component may be configured to broadcast a second point-to-point message to all of a second plurality of acceleration components associated with the second TOR switch and to all of a third plurality of acceleration components associated with the third TOR switch.
