Abstract
A 10SPE network node includes a processor, a memory, instructions in the memory configured to cause the processor to generate data to be sent to other nodes, and a network stack. The network stack includes circuitry configured to delay transmission of data in a sending slot in a transmission cycle on a 10SPE network based upon a bandwidth sharing scheme.
Claims16
A 10SPE network node, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory;
- instructions in the memory configured to cause the processor to generate data to be sent to other nodes;
- and
- a network stack including circuitry configured to:
- send the data in one or more transmission cycles, wherein a given transmission cycle is of variable length and includes a least one send slot for each of a plurality of 10SPE network nodes to send data;
- delay transmission of data in a first send slot in a first transmission cycle until a second send slot based upon a bandwidth sharing scheme, wherein the circuitry is further configured to delay transmission of data in the first send slot based upon a count of transmission cycles;
- delay transmission of data in the first send slot based upon a credit accounting scheme, wherein sending data costs a plurality of credits and credits accrue over time.
