A network component placement architecture addresses the difficult technical challenge of determining where specific technical components of an overall service may be provisioned. The architecture is particularly effective at determining where, among a myriad of possible service provides, platforms, and regions, the technical components can be placed and meet all of the applicable technical constraints on the placement of the technical components. In one implementation, the placement architecture includes a sequence of pipeline stages that define an analysis sequence leading to a set of possible placement options.

Systems and techniques are described for a path maximum transmission unit (MTU) discovery method that allows the sender of IP packets to discover the MTU of packets that it is sending over a conduit to a given destination. The MTU is the largest packet that can be sent through the network along a path without requiring fragmentation. The path MTU discovery method actively probes each sending path of each conduit with fragmentation enabled to determine a current MTU and accordingly increase or decrease the conduit MTU. The path MTU discovery process is resilient to errors and supports retransmission if packets are lost in the discovery process. The path MTU discovery process is dynamically adjusted at a periodic rate to adjust to varying network conditions.

Systems and techniques, including special messages and state machines, are described that configures an intermediate site to dynamically trigger creation of and removal of a dynamic conduit between two sites based on usage that is tracked at the sites. The intermediate site providing WAN-to-WAN forwarding between the two sites, monitors throughput statistics on each local WAN link (LWL) associated with the two sites. If traffic between the two sites passes a configured first threshold or if LWL usage passes a configured second threshold, the intermediate site sends a message to the two sites to set up a dynamic conduit directly coupling the two sites. Busy lists are used to keep track of eligible site pairs. Once a dynamic conduit is set up between two sites, a grow technique tests the dynamic conduit increasing communication flows between the two sites each configured sampling period before putting the conduit in normal use.

Examples are described herein that relate to a mesh in a switch fabric. The mesh can include one or more buses that permit operations (e.g., read, write, or responses) to continue in the same direction, drop off to a memory, drop off a bus to permit another operation to use the bus, or receive operations that are changing direction. A latency estimate can be determined at least for operations that drop off from a bus to permit another operation to use the bus or receive and channel operations that are changing direction. An operation with a highest latency estimate (e.g., time of traversing a mesh) can be permitted to use the bus, even causing another operation, that is not to change direction, to drop off the bus and re-enter later.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus to route data packets across a torus or higher radix topology that has low latency, increased throughput and traffic distribution to avoid hot spots development. Disclosed is a method of routing packets in a distributed direct interconnect network from a source node to a destination node comprising the steps of: discovering all nodes and associated ports; updating the database to include the nodes and ports in the network topology; calculating the shortest path from every output port on each node to every other node in the topology; segmenting each packet into flits at the output port of the source node; as the flits are segmented, distributing said flits along the shortest path from each output port on the source node to the destination node using wormhole switching, whereby the packets are distributed along alternate maximum disjoint routes in the network topology; and re-assembling and re-ordering the packets at the destination node so that the packets accord with their original order/form.
