According to an embodiment a packet forwarding device is disclosed for forwarding data packets on a link within a communication network. The packet forwarding device is further configured to perform the following steps: measuring a load of the link; detecting if the load exceeds one of a plurality of threshold indicative for a level of congestion on the link; and sending a signal to another device in the communication network signalling the level of congestion.

Methods and devices for propagating transactions in a network of nodes, each node having one or more connections to other nodes. The method includes receiving a plurality of incoming transactions over a time period; combining the plurality of incoming transactions using network coding to generate a composite message; sending the composite message to one or more nodes in the network; and determining an adjusted time period based on an equilibrium constant parameter and a count of transactions in the plurality of incoming transactions received over the time period.

An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes electronic circuitry to support multiple flows within a network. The electronic circuitry to determine respective telemetry information for the multiple flows and inject an alarm message into a particular one of the multiple flows upon an alarm condition being reached for the particular one flow. The alarm message includes a multi-bit error code that describes the alarm condition. The multi-bit error code is one of multiple, possible multi-bit error codes.

Examples described herein relate to a programmable packet processing pipeline configured to: access a data corresponding to multiple bins, respective bins associated with multiple packet flows and for respective bins: identify a single flow associated with a bin of the multiple bins as a candidate heavy hitter flow and determine a different packet flow as the candidate heavy hitter flow for the bin of the multiple bins.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network entity may generate a first data flow model for a first domain associated with the network entity. The network entity may receive an indication of a second data flow model for a second domain that is different from the first domain. The network entity may selectively update the first data flow model based at least in part on whether the indication of the second data flow model indicates an error in the first data flow model. Numerous other aspects are described.

A system and method is disclosed of extracting information from real-time network packet data to analyze connectivity data for client devices in a network. The method includes: detecting when client devices initiate a connectivity event; after detecting a connectivity event, waiting a period of time for the client device to either reach or fail to reach a network connected state; after waiting a period of time, recording connectivity event information; and sending the recorded connectivity event information to an analytics system for network incident and/or network congestion analysis.
