DYNAMIC CONFIGURATION OF SWITCH NETWORK PORT BANDWIDTH BASED ON SERVER PRIORITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18085778 titled 'DYNAMIC CONFIGURATION OF SWITCH NETWORK PORT BANDWIDTH BASED ON SERVER PRIORITY
The abstract of the patent application describes an information handling system with processing modules of high or low priority levels, coupled to an I/O module connected to a network device. A Port Bandwidth Control Engine (PBCE) allocates bandwidth based on the network device's output to the I/O module.
- Processing modules have high or low priority levels.
- I/O module is connected to a network device with network ports.
- PBCE allocates maximum bandwidth equally to processing modules when network device provides maximum bandwidth.
- PBCE allocates different bandwidths to high and low priority processing modules when network device provides reduced bandwidth.
Potential Applications: - Data centers - Network infrastructure - Cloud computing environments
Problems Solved: - Efficient bandwidth allocation in information handling systems - Prioritizing data processing based on network bandwidth availability
Benefits: - Optimal performance of processing modules - Improved network resource utilization
Commercial Applications: Title: "Efficient Bandwidth Allocation System for Information Handling" This technology can be used in data centers, cloud computing environments, and network infrastructure to optimize bandwidth allocation and improve overall system performance.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the Port Bandwidth Control Engine determine the bandwidth allocation for processing modules?
The PBCE allocates bandwidth based on the network device's output to the I/O module, ensuring efficient utilization of network resources.
2. What are the key advantages of having high and low priority processing modules in the information handling system?
High priority modules receive a higher bandwidth allocation, ensuring critical tasks are processed efficiently, while low priority modules receive a lower bandwidth allocation to optimize resource usage.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information handling system includes processing modules and an I/O module. The processing modules each have one of a high or low priority level. The I/O module is coupled to a network device and includes network ports coupled to the processing modules. A port bandwidth control engine (PBCE) determines that the network device is providing a maximum bandwidth to the I/O module, and in response, allocates the maximum bandwidth equally to the processing modules. The PBCE further determines that the network device is providing a reduced bandwidth to the I/O module, and, in response, allocates to each high priority level processing module a first bandwidth on the associated network port and allocates to each low priority level processing module a second bandwidth on the associated network port.
