Abstract
A programmable switch includes ports, and circuitry to receive cache messages for a distributed cache from client devices. The cache messages are queued for sending to memory devices from the ports. Queue occupancy information is generated and sent to a controller that determines, based at least in part on the queue occupancy information, at least one of a cache message transmission rate for a client device, and one or more weights for the queues used by the programmable switch. In another aspect, the programmable switch extracts cache request information from a cache message. The cache request information indicates a cache usage and is sent to the controller, which determines, based at least in part on the extracted cache request information, at least one of a cache message transmission rate for a client device, and one or more weights for queues used in determining an order for sending cache messages.
