RESOURCE CONSUMPTION CONTROL

Abstract:

Examples described herein relate to a network interface device comprising dataplane circuitry, when operational, is to generate a representation of aggregated network resource consumption information based on network resource consumption at the network interface device or at least one other network device and to transmit at least one packet with a multi-bit representation of the aggregated network resource consumption information to a second network interface device. In some examples, the network resource consumption information comprises one or more of: available transmit bandwidth, transmit bandwidth used by a queue or flow, queue depth, measured queueing time duration, expected queueing time duration, packet latency, or normalized in-flight bytes.
