摘要
Method, apparatus, and systems for implementing Quality of Service (QoS) within high performance fabrics. A multi-level QoS scheme is implemented including virtual fabrics, Traffic Classes, Service Levels (SLs), Service Channels (SCs) and Virtual Lanes (VLs). SLs are implemented for Layer 4 (Transport Layer) end-to-end transfer of fabric packets, while SCs are used to differentiate fabric packets at the Link Layer. Fabric packets are divided into flits, with fabric packet data transmitted via fabric links as flits streams. Fabric switch input ports and device receive ports detect SC IDs for received fabric packets and implement SC-to-VL mappings to determine VL buffers to buffer fabric packet flits in. An SL may have multiple SCs, and SC-to-SC mapping may be implemented to change the SC for a fabric packet as it is forwarded through the fabric, while maintaining its SL. A Traffic Class may include multiple SLs, enabling request and response traffic for an application to employ separate SLs.
