Abstract

See full text

Congestion detection is implemented on the ingress direction, egress direction, or both directions in a network interface controller. Congestion notification is facilitated between a source and a destination through a network interface controller. In accordance with an aspect, a NIC is configured to label ingress packets—coming from the network—in relation to the presence of congestion. In accordance with another aspect, the NIC is configured to label egress packets—going to the network—in relation to the presence of congestion. A full offload NIC is equipped to operate on the packet labels in the presence of congestion and to react appropriately if it is on the receiving end, sending end, or both.
