Abstract
A system includes a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) with a configurable logic module. The configurable logic module is configured to implement a protocol endpoint, the protocol endpoint including a congestion control module. In some examples, the protocol endpoint corresponds to a transport control protocol (TCP) endpoint. In some examples, state information associated with a networking protocol implemented by the protocol endpoint is stored in and retrieved from block memory of the configurable logic module. In some examples, no state information associated with the networking protocol is stored in and retrieved from a memory other than the block memory. In further examples, the congestion control module is configured to perform operations comprising monitoring a congestion condition of a network and dynamically switching among a plurality of congestion control algorithms based on the monitored congestion condition.
